Introduction to PowerShell in Exchange 2007

Hello! Today I share with you a little Introduction to the administration of messaging services such as Exchange 2007 using PowerShell.

PowerShell is a scripting language made in Microsoft. NET Framework. Many administration and maintenance tasks are performed through a graphical intergaz as Exchange Management Console but PowerShell allows us to automate tasks, managing to extend the functionality of the management console.

PowerShell allows you to generate scripts based on objects and all from a command line: moving mailboxes, creating mailboxes, moving databases, create SMTP connectors and many more option.

PowerShell includes:

• More than 130 command-line tools (called cmdlets) used to perform administrative tasks and to use the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). These cmdlets are appointed to perform administrative tasks through simple commands. For the execution of commands you can use the concatenation of results, filtering, sorting and formatting the data.
• supports scripting language and is compatible with Windows, Including Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008 or Longhorn.
• allows users to access the storage of information (data stores), such as registration, certification bodies like the file system.
• utilities that manage Active Directory, Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI), Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), Component Object Model (COM) objects, ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), HTML, and XML.
• Sophisticated handling of objects from a command line. Posse
• interface which allows custom cmdlest develop or certain needs-oriented management.

cmdlets consist of verb-itemname.

Examples:

----- get-help Get help get-mailbox

export-csv c: \\ scripts \\ test.csv -------- Gets mailboxes and exported to a file Tabbed by commas.
