That was this past Tuesday night for me. We play every other Tuesday.
Had to cancel my next game though as that is when the family comes home.

Hanging out with the family.

Working on a PowerShell script to do my new user on-boarding tasks for Exchange Online, so one of the devs can make E-mail accounts while I'm at MangoCon.

I linked it before but you're working too hard. There is a script already created. https://365lab.net/2013/12/30/office-365-powershell-tip-automatically-assign-licenses-based-on-ad-attribute/
It should do everything you need it to. The only thing that may be an issue if if you aren't doing Azure AD Sync for password synchronization.
-
While that script is nice, it doesn't do the tasks I need.
- Create MSOL user
- Set the distribution group(s) based on the department to which they belong.
- Create an additional E-mail alias because of a silly requirement that's been around since the beginning of time.

Have you looked at setting up Azure AD sync? It is a very quick process that will create the necessary users. You should then be able to set an alias as as additional email address in AD. It can also dynamically add people to distributions lists based on AD groups but that takes a bit more massaging.

I did a while ago, but the project was derailed due to [insert new #1 priority here]. It's on my list of stuff to do.

It would save you a lot of time creating a script and would be the MS "approved" way of doing it. Not to mention everything would then be automated meaning you would just have to create the user in one place, and would be a single master.

There will be some stuff to think through. I have about 25 users that are a part of local AD, and 225 users that exist only in Azure AD (Exchange online).
