Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 PowerShell Cookbook: Second Edition

Chapter 2. Exchange Management Shell Common Tasks

In this chapter, we will cover:

  • Manually configuring remote PowerShell connections

  • Using explicit credentials with PowerShell cmdlets

  • Transferring files through remote shell connections

  • Dealing with concurrent pipelines in remote PowerShell

  • Managing domains or an entire forest using recipient scope

  • Exporting reports to text and CSV files

  • Sending SMTP e-mails through PowerShell

  • Scheduling scripts to run at a later time

  • Logging shell sessions to a transcript

  • Automating tasks with the scripting agent

  • Scripting an exchange server installation

Introduction

Microsoft introduced some radical architectural changes in Exchange 2007, including a brand new set of management tools. PowerShell v1, along with an additional set of exchange-specific cmdlets, finally gave administrators an interface that could be used to manage the entire product from a command line shell. This was an interesting move, and at that time the entire graphical management console was built on top of this technology.

The same architecture still existed with Exchange 2010, and PowerShell was even more tightly integrated with this product. Exchange 2010 used PowerShell v2, which relied heavily on its new remoting infrastructure. This provides seamless administrative capabilities from a single seat with Exchange Management Tools, whether your servers are on-premises or in the cloud.

With Exchange 2013, PowerShell v3 is being used and of course, there are many new cmdlets, core functionality changes, and even more integrations with the cloud services. Approximately 150...

Manually configuring remote PowerShell connections

Just like Exchange 2010, Exchange 2013 is very reliable on remote PowerShell for both on-premises and cloud services. When you double-click on the Exchange Management Shell shortcut on a server or workstation with Exchange Management Tools installed, you are connected to an Exchange server using a remote PowerShell session.

PowerShell remoting also allows you to remotely manage your Exchange servers from a workstation or a server even when Exchange Management Tools are not installed. In this recipe, we'll create a manual remote shell connection to an Exchange server using a standard PowerShell console.

Getting ready

To complete the steps in this recipe, you'll need to log on to a workstation or a server and launch Windows PowerShell.

How to do it...

  1. First, create a credential object using the Get-Credential cmdlet. When running this command, you'll be prompted with a Windows authentication dialog box. Enter a username and password for an account...

Using explicit credentials with PowerShell cmdlets

There are several PowerShell and Exchange Management Shell cmdlets that provide a credential parameter that allows you to use an alternate set of credentials when running a command. You may need to use alternate credentials when making manual remote shell connections, sending e-mail messages, working in cross-forest scenarios, and more. In this recipe, we'll take a look at how you can create a credential object that can be used with commands that support the -Credential parameter.

How to do it...

To create a credential object, we can use the Get-Credential cmdlet. In this example, we store the credential object in a variable that can be used by the Get-Mailbox cmdlet:

$credential = Get-Credential
Get-Mailbox -Credential $credential

How it works...

When you run the Get-Credential cmdlet, you are presented with a Windows authentication dialog box requesting your username and password. In the previous example, we assigned the Get-Credential cmdlet...

Transferring files through remote shell connections

Since the Exchange 2013 Management Shell commands are executed through a remote PowerShell session, importing and exporting files requires a new special syntax. There are a handful of shell cmdlets that require this, and in this recipe we'll take a look at the syntax that needs to be used to transfer files through a remote shell connection.

How to do it...

Let's say that you are creating an Edge subscription to the hub transport servers in the default Active Directory site. After generating your XML subscription file on the Edge server, you can import the file using the New-EdgeSubscription cmdlet, using syntax similar to the following:

[byte[]]$data = Get-Content -Path "C:\certificates\ExportedCert.pfx" `
-Encoding Byte `
-ReadCount 0

$password = Get-Credential

Import-ExchangeCertificate –FileData $data –Password $password

In this example, the file data is first read into a variable called $data. The certificate import is done by using...

Dealing with concurrent pipelines in remote PowerShell

One of the issues you are bound to run into, sooner or later, is a concurrent pipeline error when working in a remote PowerShell session. This is a common stumbling block for most administrators, since all Exchange Management Shell tasks are done through PowerShell remoting. Concurrent pipeline errors can often be counter-intuitive because the same command syntax works fine in a standard PowerShell session. In this recipe, we'll take a look at why this happens and what you can do to get around it.

How to do it...

PowerShell remoting does not support more than one pipeline running at a time. When executing multiple cmdlets within a pipeline, you may need to store the output of one or more commands in an object that can then be passed down the pipeline to other commands. For example, to pipe a collection of mailboxes to the New-InboxRule command, use the following syntax to avoid a concurrent pipeline operation:

$mailboxes = Get-Mailbox...

Managing domains or an entire forest using recipient scope

The Exchange Management Tools can be configured to use specific portions of your Active Directory hierarchy using a specific recipient scope. When you set the recipient scope to a location in the Active Directory, such as a domain or an organizational unit, the Exchange Management Shell will only allow you to view the recipients that are stored in that location and any containers beneath it. In this recipe, we'll look at how to set the recipient scope when working with the Exchange Management Shell.

How to do it...

We can set the recipient scope in the Exchange Management Shell using the Set-AdServerSettings cmdlet. For example, to set the recipient scope to the Sales OU in the contoso.com domain, use the following command:

Set-AdServerSettings -RecipientViewRoot contoso.com/sales

We can also specify the value using the distinguished name of the OU:

Set-AdServerSettings -RecipientViewRoot `
"OU=sales,DC=contoso,DC=com"

How it works...

Exporting reports to text and CSV files

One of the added benefits of the Exchange Management Shell is the ability to run very detailed and customizable reports. With the hundreds of Get-* cmdlets provided between Windows PowerShell and the Exchange Management Shell, the reporting capabilities are almost endless. In this recipe, we'll cover exporting command output to plain text and CSV files that can be used to report on various resources throughout your Exchange environment.

How to do it...

To export command output to a text file, use the Out-File cmdlet. To generate a report of mailboxes in a specific mailbox database that can be stored in a text file, use the following command:

Get-Mailbox | Select-Object Name,Alias | Out-File c:\report.txt

You can also save the output of the previous command as a CSV file that can then be opened and formatted in Microsoft Excel:

Get-Mailbox | Select-Object Name,Alias | 
  Export-CSV c:\report.csv –NoType

How it works...

The Out-File cmdlet is simply a redirection...

Sending SMTP e-mails through PowerShell

As an Exchange administrator, you will probably need an automated solution for sending e-mails from your PowerShell scripts. Whether it's for sending notifications to users in a specific database or e-mailing the output of your scripts to a reporting mailbox, the transmission of messages like these will prove very useful in performing common day-to-day administrative scripting tasks. In this recipe, we'll take a look at how you can send SMTP e-mail messages from PowerShell to the recipients in your Exchange organization.

How to do it...

PowerShell v2 and later includes a core cmdlet that can be used to send e-mail messages via SMTP to one or more recipients. Use the following syntax to send an e-mail message:

Send-MailMessage -To user1@contoso.com `
-From administrator@contoso.com `
-Subject "Test E-mail" `
-Body "This is just a test" `
-SmtpServer ex01.contoso.com

How it works...

In PowerShell v1, the Send-MailMessage cmdlet didn't exist. In the early...

Scheduling scripts to run at a later time

One of the most common tasks that Exchange administrators perform is scheduling scripts to run at a later time. This can be useful when performing maintenance after hours or running monitoring scripts on a regular basis. In this recipe, you'll learn how to schedule your PowerShell scripts to run with the Windows Task Scheduler.

How to do it...

To create a scheduled task that runs from one of your Exchange servers use the following steps:

  1. Open the Windows Task Scheduler by clicking on Start | All Programs | Accessories, click on the System Tools folder, and then click on the Task Scheduler shortcut.

  2. From the Action menu, click on Create Basic Task.

  3. Give your task a name and description, and click on Next.

  4. On the Trigger screen, select how often you'd like the script to run (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and so on).

  5. When asked what action you want the task to perform, select Start a Program.

  6. Use the following syntax in the Program/Script field and click on Next...

Logging shell sessions to a transcript

You may find it useful at times to record the output of your shell sessions in a logfile. This can help you save the history of all the commands you've executed and determine the success or failure of automated scripts. In this recipe, you'll learn how to create a PowerShell transcript.

How to do it...

  1. To create a transcript, execute the Start-Transcript cmdlet:

    Start-Transcript -Path c:\logfile.txt

  2. You can stop recording the session using the Stop-Transcript cmdlet:

    Stop-Transcript

How it works...

When starting a PowerShell transcript, you can specify a path and a filename that will be used to record your commands and their output. The use of the -Path parameter is optional; if you do not provide a file path, the cmdlet will create a transcript file with a random name in the default documents folder in your profile path, as shown in the following screenshot:

When you are done, you can run the Stop-Transcript cmdlet or simply exit the shell. You can use...

Automating tasks with the scripting agent

Exchange 2010 introduced the concept of cmdlet extension agents to extend the functionality of the Exchange Management Tools. The scripting extension agent can be used to trigger custom commands as changes are made by administrators from the management console or the shell. In this recipe, we'll take a look at how to use the scripting agent to automate a task in the Exchange Management Shell.

Getting ready

To complete the steps in this recipe, you'll need to create an XML file. You can simply use Notepad or any XML editor of your choice.

How to do it...

  1. Let's say that you need to enable single item recovery for every mailbox that gets created in your organization. By default, single item recovery is disabled when you create a mailbox. To automatically enable single item recovery for each mailbox as it is created, add the following code to a new file:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Configuration version="1.0">
  <Feature Name...

Scripting an Exchange server installation

If you are performing mass deployment of Exchange servers in a large environment, automating the installation process can minimize administrator error and speed up the overall process. The setup.exe utility can be used to perform an unattended installation of Exchange, and, when combined with PowerShell and just a little bit of scripting logic, create a fairly sophisticated installation script. This recipe will provide a couple of examples that can be used to script the installation of an Exchange server.

Getting ready

You can use a standard PowerShell console from the server to run the scripts in this recipe.

How to do it...

  1. In this example, we'll create an automated installation script that installs Exchange based on the hostname of the server. Using Notepad or your favorite scripting editor, add the following code to a new file:

    Param($Path)
if(Test-Path $Path) {
  switch -wildcard ($env:computername) {
    "*-EX-*" {$role = "CA,MB" ; break}
    ...

If you're an administrator or a consultant needing to learn PowerShell in the context of Exchange 2013, then this book is a must have. The authors teach PowerShell in the context of Exchange tasks, allowing the reader to expand their skills incrementally, or jump into a specific chapter and pickup new skills per task.If you're a total Newbie to PowerShell, I strongly suggest starting with Chapter one before you bounce around to the other chapters.If you're looking for PowerShell help for Exchange 2010, then consider looking at the first edition of this book.

Being a fan of the Exchange Management Shell I am very impressed with how this book delves into all the commands & syntaxes available. The examples are excellent too and the book emphasises on the differences between previous versions of Exchange and where improvements in the Shell cmdlets have been made. This is the definitive source on Exchange Shell Management for me. Thanks.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
