Re: Exchange Management Shell

I am running exchange 2007 on a Windows Server 2008 virtual machine to test out a script to dismount so that eseutil can be used.
I have thus far been unable to dismount the mailboxdatabase.

I run this script. What is weird is that the when I run this ps1 script locally it works. When I try to run it in kaseya it runs the exchangedismount.ps1 as evidenced by an updated useraccounts.log file.
However it just ignores the lines that reference any exchange management shell commands. I also made sure it printed out its user account information using $env:username.

Thanks for the help.

Step 1 I have also used use credential, and tried to run the other steps as system.

IF True
THEN
Impersonate User
Parameter 1 : Administrator
Parameter 2 : PWD
Parameter 3 : Domain
OS Type : 0
Execute Shell Command
Parameter 1 : C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted
Parameter 2 : 0
OS Type : 0


With Step 3 I have tried three different things.

Execute File
Parameter 1 : C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
Parameter 2 : -PSConsoleFile "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\bin\exshell.psc1" -command ". 'C:\temp\exchangedismount.ps1'"
Parameter 3 : 1
OS Type : 0

Execute Shell Command
Parameter 1 : C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -PSConsoleFile "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\bin\exshell.psc1" -command ". 'C:\temp\exchangedismount.ps1'"
Parameter 3 : 1
OS Type : 0


Execute File
Parameter 1 : C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
Parameter 2 : -PSConsoleFile "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\bin\exshell.psc1" -noexit -command ". 'C:\temp\exchangedismount.ps1'"
Parameter 3 : 1
OS Type : 0





The Exchange ps1 script is
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin # This is used when I do not call the .psc1 file.
dismount-database 'Mailbox Database' -Confirm:$false
dismount-database 'Public Folder Database' -Confirm:$false
wmic useraccount >> C:\temp\useraccounts #Used only to verify that the powershell script is indeed running.

If you run it manually does it work?

Check out this thread I participated in a few months ago.



Running Scripts on Exchange 2007

http://community.kaseya.com/xsp/f/28/t/5978.aspx



I was trying to use PowerShell with Exchange Server 2007. Commands woruld work from a comman line, but not from a Kaseya script. In summary, the problem was that the K Agent was using 32-bit system, and Exchange Server 2007 powersheel needs the 64-bit system.



Details are in the thread. But in summary, the command that finnaly worked was:

%windir%\Sysnative\cmd.exe /c PowerShell.exe -PSConsoleFile "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\bin\exshell.psc1" "C:\Mailbox.ps1"

Hope this helps.
