Exchange Powershell return value from Get-command to variable.

hi

i trying create powershell-script our monitoring-software.

the script supposed establish connection our exchange-server mgmt-shell , execute command:

"get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus"

i have connection in place, missing knowledge of how return result of command script, can pass our monitoring-software.

(the script take 2 parameters - host , command eg. exch01.domain , get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus).

current code:

$statusalive       = "scriptres:host alive:"  $statusdead        = "scriptres:no answer:"  $statusunknown     = "scriptres:unknown:"  $statusnotresolved = "scriptres:unknown host:"  $statusok          = "scriptres:ok:"  $statusbad         = "scriptres:bad:"  $statusbadcontents = "scriptres:bad contents:"    $pass = cat c:\securestring.txt | convertto-securestring  $cred = new-object -typename system.management.automation.pscredential -argumentlist "domain\administrator",$pass    $host = $args[0]  $command = $args[1]    <#  if (!$args[0]) {    echo  $statusunknown"host parameter empty"     exit  }  if (!$args[1]) {    echo  $statusunknown"command parameter empty"     exit  }  #>    $session = new-pssession -configurationname microsoft.exchange -connectionuri http://$host/powershell -credential $cred     import-pssession $session      $command      remove-pssession $session

now, how "catch" value of executed command , return variable in script?

best regards,

soren

for starters, $host is bad choice variable because in use (see about_automatic_variables for more information). recommend using $computername instead.gs make more user friendly (see about_functions_advanced_parameters for more information).

param ( [string]$computername, [scriptblock]$command )

calling $command not other showing in actual variable. need invoke script in order happen. if use example above parameters, have invoke scriptblock using invoke().

$returnvalue = $command.invoke()

if specific command, recommend typing command out after implicit remoting.
