Our 2013 exchange environment has been corrupted due to fire incident.
We have tried to restore database from backup as recovery state when we have gotten the database was dirty shutdown state. We tried soft recovery but it's failed. Then we had tried hard recovery and it's came back in clean shut down state.
But it will take tom much time from backup restore. Then we have decided to set all mail users database because all users database is missing.
We tried set-mailbox command to assign database for one user but it's getting error.
After then we have added value in homemdb of one user from ADSI edit, after then user mailbox is connected in database. User is able to login his/her mailbox.
The big challenge is we have 6000 users. How can we add homemdb value for all users by using powershell command or any script?
What was the error? and the command you were running
Prepare a csv file contains the AD account that you want to modify:
Then, run script below to modify homeMdb for them:
$users = Import-Csv c:/temp/users.csv
$homeMdb = ""
foreach ($user in $users){
Set-ADUser $user.Name -replace @{homeMdb=$temp}
}

Thanks for your reply.
The CSV contains username can be multiple which can not unique but if we use the Email address in CSV it will unique and can't cause any conflict.
Can you please share the script based on the email address to which data pulls from CSV?
The Set-ADUser command only supported with those values:
You could use email address in the CVS file(Don't change the Title "name"), but you will need to run this script in EMS rather than PowerShell. We need to use EMS to convert the Email address to SamAccountName which is also unique.
$users = Import-Csv c:/temp/users.csv
$homeMdb = ""
foreach ($user in $users){
Set-ADUser (Get-Mailbox $user.Name).SamAccountName -replace @{homeMdb=$homeMdb}
}
Due to lack of HomeMDB, you will see warning below when run this script in EMS, it doesn't effect the running of script:
