Scripts for Managing Public Folders in the Exchange Management Shell

  • Artikkeli

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2

Running scripts in the Exchange Management Shell can make public folder administration faster and easier by automating complex or frequently performed tasks. You can use scripts that are installed with Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 and described in this topic (as well as other scripts), or you can write your own scripts.

Note

The Shell doesn't load scripts automatically. You must precede all scripts with .</STRONG> (a period, followed by a backslash). For example, to run the AggregatePFData.ps1 script, type .\AggregatePFData.ps1.

The collection of Shell scripts described in this topic is installed, by default, at <Exchange Installation Path>\v14\ Server\Scripts.

For more information about using and writing scripts, see Scripting with the Exchange Management Shell.

The following table lists the administrative scripts included with Exchange 2010.

Task Script Description

Add a server to the replication list.

AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1

  • Help   This parameter displays the Help file for the script.

  • Server   (Optional) This parameter specifies the server to operate against. This server must be an Exchange Mailbox server that has a public folder database. If you don't use the Server parameter to specify a server, the script defaults to the local server.

The following information is aggregated at the public folder level, and not at the item level:

  • Last user access and last user modification times

  • Owner of the public folder

  • Other properties such as MailEnabled, HasRules, ItemCount, FolderType, HasModerator, and TotalItemSize

This script accepts the following parameters:
