Microsoft Exchange Server Powershell Cookbook (Update)

Chapter 2. Exchange Management Shell Common Tasks

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Manually configuring remote PowerShell connections
  • Using explicit credentials with PowerShell cmdlets
  • Transferring files through remote shell connections
  • Managing domains or an entire forest using the 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-Server-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 the Exchange Management Tools, whether your servers are on-premises or in the cloud.

Initially, with Exchange 2013, PowerShell Version 3 was used, but now when using PowerShell Version 5 together with cumulative updates, there are a lot of new cmdlets, core...

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 the 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...

Let's see how to manually configure remote PowerShell connections, using the following steps:

  1. First, create a credential object using the Get-Credential cmdlet. When running this...

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 many 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...

Transferring files through remote shell connections

Since the Exchange 2013 Management Shell commands are executed through a remote PowerShell session, importing and exporting files require a new special syntax. There are a handful of shell cmdlets that require this. 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 we are about to import a certificate to the client access server. We can import the file using the Get-Content cmdlet, using a syntax similar to the following:

[byte[]]$data = Get-Content -Path ".\ExportedCert.pfx" ` -Encoding Byte ` -ReadCount 0
$password = Get-Credential
Import-ExchangeCertificate –FileData $data –Password 
$password.Password

In this example, the file data is first read into a variable called $data. The certificate import is done using the Import-ExchangeCertificate cmdlet by assigning the $data variable as a value to the ...

Managing domains or an entire forest using the 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...

Let's see how to manage domains using the recipient scope using the following steps:

  1. 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
  2. We can also specify the value using the distinguished name...

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 how to export 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...

I'll start by saying I originally bought the Microsoft Exchange 2010 PowerShell Cookbook a few years ago after it was recommended by a MS consultant that had visited for an Microsoft Exchange Server Risk Assessment and Health Check Program (ExRAP). I had known little about Powershell at the time. I found it to be very helpful and it completely increased my productivity with simple tasks like creating or moving multiple mailboxes, altering access, adding groups, etc.Flash forward to today and this 3rd edition. Still has the same excellent break down and sections dealing with specific admin aspects that you would need day to day. This update has the newer commands, of course. Managing mailboxes/recipients/client access/transport services, Security, HA. Having perfect examples for each task is great so that you can copy and edit them to use. Great time saver and makes finding what you need very easy.

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.
