Save this entire script as a .ps1 file (Powershell script file) e.g “ShowEmailIDs.ps1”, and then place it in the “Scripts” folder in MS Exchange Installation folder which is noramlly “C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Scripts”. Then open Exchange Management Shell and just type the name of .ps1 file e.g.  ShowEmailIDs.ps1 and press enter. It will show result like this
User Name: [email protected]     [email protected]      Primary Email Address
User Name: [email protected]     [email protected]   Primary Email Address
Note: U can also put a filter for get-mailbox in above mentioned script to run this script for a specific domain like this
get-mailbox | Where{ $_.PrimarySmtpAddress -like “*domain.lab” }| foreach{
