I am trying to create multiple linked mailboxes on Exchange 2013 using PowerShell and a .csv file. I have a column for each parameter I need in the .csv file. The mailbox creation works fine with all parameters until I introduce "description" and "title". For some reason powershell does not recognize these parameters and the script fails. Here is the script I am using.
Import-Csv "C:\LinkedMailboxTest.csv" | foreach { New-Mailbox -Name $_.displayName -alias $_.Alias -FirstName $_.FirstName -Lastname $_.LastName -sAMAccountName $_.sAMAccountName -UserPrincipalName $_.UserPrincipalName -description $_.description -title $_.title -Organizationalunit $_.OrganizationalUnit -LinkedMasterAccount $_.LinkedMasterAccount -LinkedDomainController $_.LinkedDomainController -Database $_.Database } This is the error message I am getting: "A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'description'. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Description and Title are not Exchange attributes, they are Active Directory attributes. You will need to invoke a separate command Set-user to perform this. Note in the linked materials that Title and Description are not available to set in the verb-Mailbox cmdlets.
