You REALLY don't want me to throw a LMGTFY at you, do you? OK, you asked for it:

Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: David Lum [mailto:david....@nwea.org] Sent: Friday, October 22, 2010 5:51 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: PS script in batch troubleshooting - DOH, almost! Crap...the batch file works, unless I call it as a scheduled task. It does call the .PS1 script (which I have as Michael scripted it) but it fails at the last line: get-messagetrackinglog -messagesubject "NWEA password" -Start $shortdate | Select sender,messagesubject | ft -auto I narrowed it down to permissions - it runs OK as me (Exchange Organization Admin) but not as a regular user. What perms are required to open the message tracking log and search it?

Michael this is a second part of the tool you helped me with for the password reminder e-mail. We put it into "production" last week. This piece here let's me schedule a job to see who got the password reminder sent to them as a CYA piece for my Service Desk guys. Secondarily it lets me confirm the tool has run each night :).

Smith [mailto:mich...@smithcons.com] Sent: Friday, October 22, 2010 1:52 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: PS script in batch troubleshooting For Exchange 2007, you need to add this command: "Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin". If you want to make it a "good" script, you'll do something like: ## the below code is Exchange 2007 specific Get-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin -EA 0 if ($?) { ## snap-in already loaded, do nothing } else { Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin } $date = Get-date $shortdate = $date.ToShortdateString() get-messagetrackinglog -messagesubject "NWEA password" -Start $shortdate | Select sender,messagesubject | ft -auto put all the above in a PS1 file. In the cmd/bat file: powershell.exe -command "&{ c:\scripts\myscripts.ps1 }" Regards, Michael B.

Exchange 2007. Can I have a .CMD call a PS1 file and call it good? Dave From: Campbell, Rob [mailto:rob_campb...@centraltechnology.net] Sent: Friday, October 22, 2010 11:27 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: PS script in batch troubleshooting Nope. I believe the problem is that when you run it from the PS command line, it's actually being run from an EMS command line. The EMS is a generic Powershell console, with the modules or snapins (depending on your Exchange version) installed that implement the exchange specific cmdlets. Since you're calling a generic Powershell instance from cmd, it doesn't have those cmdlets, so it doesn't understand "get-messagetrackinglog". What version of Exchange are you running? From: David Lum [mailto:david....@nwea.org] Sent: Friday, October 22, 2010 1:21 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: PS script in batch troubleshooting This works at the PS command line: $date = Get-date ; $shortdate = $date.ToShortdateString() ; get-messagetrackinglog -messagesubject:"NWEA password" -Start $shortdate | Select sender,messagesubject | ft -auto This does NOT work in a .CMD file (simply adds "powershell.exe -command" to the front): powershell.exe -command "$date = Get-date ; $shortdate = $date.ToShortdateString() ; get-messagetrackinglog -messagesubject:"NWEA password" -Start $shortdate | Select sender,messagesubject | ft -auto Error message is "The term 'get-messagetrackinglog' is not recognized as a cmdlet, function, operable program, or script file.
