Automate/Schedule Exchange cmdlet
To automate the running of a Microsoft Exchange
cmdlet
in Scheduled Tasks (for instance) an additional parameter must be
supplied along with -command
when calling powershell
from within a
BAT file.
The syntax is:
powershell -PSConsoleFile "C:\\ExchangeServer\\bin\\exshell.psc1" -command ". 'exchange-cmdlet-here'"
Replace c:\\exchangeserver with your Exchange Server path.
For example you may with to test your replication health and output it to a text file for further processing:
powershell -PSConsoleFile "C:\\ExchangeServer\\bin\\exshell.psc1" -command ". 'Test-ReplicationHealth'" >c:\\SCRStatus.txt
It is always recommended to save your command to a BAT file and have scheduled tasks run this, instead of entering the command line as a Scheduled Tasks.
