Any Powershell experts? mailboxautoreply for multiple users?
Discussion
As you've named the columns 'alias' I'm presuming there is no need to decommission the TLD?
I wouldn't use the approach you are considering. It'll cause issues for many years to come of emails being returned undelivered. Instead, i would set the new alias as the users primary address, the old remaining as a secondary for when contacts inevitably mail the old address.
Given you talk about 50-60 users, the reach is likely to be quite far out in terms on cached addresses, business cards, shared info etc. It's just impractical to dump an old address entirely for a new one. You method also relies on the contact actually emailing the user within x time frame and manually updating their records. People are pretty bad at it!
