many thanks,

 try  {
        
                   
new-mailbox -name $name -password $randompassword -windowsliveid $windowsliveid -resetpasswordonnextlogon $forcechangepassword -firstname $firstname -lastname $lastname -displayname $displayname | out-file -append $userprovisioningresults
          
        }
       
  catch {
  write-output $_.exception.tostring() | out-file -append $userprovisioningresults
 } 

if you're saying try/catch doesn't work, mean non-terminating error being returned.

try changing new-mailbox command add parameter/value:

new-mailbox ... -erroraction stop ...

that should turn non-terminating error, terminating error.
