Hi
I am trying to create multiple PSSession to exchange management shell. I can’t figure out how to get this done. The code below is

PowerShell

foreach ($Server in $Serverlist) { $UserCredential = Get-Credential $MySession = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri http://$Server.globalnet.lcl/PowerShell/ -Authentication Kerberos -Credential $UserCredential Import-PSSession $MySession Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus | Select-Object Name, Status, activationpreference | Format-Table -AutoSize } Get-PSSession | Remove-PSSession

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

foreach ($Server in $Serverlist) { $UserCredential = Get-Credential $MySession = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri http://$Server.globalnet.lcl/PowerShell/ -Authentication Kerberos -Credential $UserCredential Import-PSSession $MySession Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus | Select-Object Name, Status, activationpreference | Format-Table -AutoSize } Get-PSSession | Remove-PSSession

Hello,

Can you please elaborate? What the goal?

Are you connecting to all servers using same credentials?

 

Thank you.

PowerShell

foreach ($Server in $Serverlist) { $uri = "http://$Server.globalnet.lcl/PowerShell/" $UserCredential = Get-Credential $MySession = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri $uri -Authentication Kerberos -Credential $UserCredential Invoke-Command -Session $MySession -ScriptBlock { Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus | Select-Object Name, Status, activationpreference} } Get-PSSession | Remove-PSSession

Try to use Invoke-Command with Session parameter.

You can try something similar to this:

PowerShell

$s = New-PSSession -ComputerName Server02 -Credential Domain01\User01 Invoke-Command -Session $s -ScriptBlock {Get-MaboxDatabaseSatus}

1 2	$s = New-PSSession -ComputerName Server02 -Credential Domain01\User01 Invoke-Command -Session $s -ScriptBlock {Get-MaboxDatabaseSatus}

Or this:

PowerShell

$parameters = @{ ComputerName = "Server01", "Server02", "TST-0143", "localhost" ConfigurationName = 'MySession.PowerShell' ScriptBlock = { Get-MaboxDatabaseSatus } } Invoke-Command @parameters

1 2 3 4 5 6

$parameters = @{   ComputerName = "Server01", "Server02", "TST-0143", "localhost"   ConfigurationName = 'MySession.PowerShell'   ScriptBlock = { Get-MaboxDatabaseSatus } } Invoke-Command @parameters

Hope that helps.

Oh, thanks. It’s functioning.
I tried to add the line below and received error.

Error: the term format table is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

PowerShell

Invoke-Command -Session $MySession -ScriptBlock { Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus | Select-Object Name, Status, activationpreference | Format-Table -Autosize} }

1 2 3

Invoke-Command -Session $MySession -ScriptBlock { Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus | Select-Object Name, Status, activationpreference | Format-Table -Autosize} }

You should Format-Table outside of the Invoke-Command as it’s a formatting command. The data needs to be serialized and sent over and I’m fairly certain that breaks with the Format-* commands.

PowerShell

Invoke-Command -Session $MySession -ScriptBlock { Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus | Select-Object Name, Status, activationpreference} } | Format-Table -Autosize

1 2 3

Invoke-Command -Session $MySession -ScriptBlock { Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus | Select-Object Name, Status, activationpreference} } | Format-Table -Autosize
