Combining PowerShell Commands
Trying to combine several PowerShell commands to set the archive database, retention policy and OWA mailbox policy. Can I use something like this or do I need to separate these commands somehow?
Import-csv E:\users.csv | Foreach {Enable-Mailbox -Identity $_.Logon -ArchiveDatabase $_.ARDB Set-CasMailbox -OwaMailbox Policy $_.OwaPolicy Set-Mailbox -RetentionPolicy $_.RetentionPolicy}

Hi
You can't do that but you can execute each command on a new line as part of the same foreach loop:
$Users = Import-csv E:\users.csv
Foreach ($Line in $Users)
{
Enable-Mailbox -Identity $Line.Logon -ArchiveDatabase $Line.ARDB
Set-CasMailbox -OwaMailbox Policy $Line.OwaPolicy
Set-Mailbox -RetentionPolicy $Line.RetentionPolicy
}
Save those lines as a .PS1 and run in the EMS.

Hi
You command is almost correct, just add a pipe line
Import-csv E:\users.csv | Foreach {Enable-Mailbox -Identity $_.Logon -ArchiveDatabase $_.ARDB | Set-CasMailbox -OwaMailbox Policy $_.OwaPolicy | Set-Mailbox -RetentionPolicy $_.RetentionPolicy}

Thanks. We just used separate lines, but I can see using the other ones in the future as we move more mailboxes.MCITP Exchange 2010 | MCTS Exchange 2007 | MCITP Lync Server 2010 | MCTS Windows 2008 | MCSE 2003
