Test Exchange Powershell

[RobertDerheld]

I want to use a Test with help of the Script Manager.

I created the script below:

Code: Select all

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin

$statusOK = "ScriptRes:Ok:"
$statusBad = "ScriptRes:Bad:"
$statusBadContents = "ScriptRes:Bad contents:"
$PFPath = $args[0]
$output = $statusBadContents

try
{
    $Result = Get-PublicFolderStatistics -Identity $PFPath -ErrorAction Stop

    if ($Result.ItemCount -gt 0)
    {
        $output = $statusBad + $Result.ItemCount
    }
    else
    {
        $output = $statusOK + $Result.ItemCount
    }
}
catch
{
    $output = $statusBadContents + $PFPath
}

echo $output

The start cmd is:

powershell -Command %Script% %Params%

The parameter is a Public Folder URI:
e.g.

'\SUB DE\11_Customer-Care.de\Error'

Now the following error occures:

23.04.2014 15:15:56 SCDEWORKER03: Customer_care.de\Error Unknown Error: Invalid result (Add-PSSnapin : No snap-ins have been registered for Windows PowerShell version

The Exchange Server is version 2007

Do you use x64 Windows?
Then you have two Powershell versions: 32-bit and 64-bit.
Have you tried to run this script in shell (32-bit and 64-bit)?
If script works on 64-bit powershell, you may tell HostMonitor to use 64-bit Powershell:
e.g.
copy C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe c:\win64copy\powershell.exe
then specify Start CMD like:
c:\win64copy\powershell.exe -Command %Script% %Params%

Note1: According to first error message, there is no snap-ins registered in Powershell version. You may use Get-PSSnapin -Registered command to check registered snap-ins.

Thank you for your quick response.

to make a copy of the 64bit version of the powershell.exe to another folder not managed by the OS solved the problem.

I tried the script with the 32 and the 64 bit version of powershell.

using the 64 version everyting worked fine.

using the 32 bit version terminated with errors.

the exchange Snapin was only registered for the 64 bit version, not for the 32 bit version (as far as I can see the Snapin is only available as 64 bit version)

when I tried to start the script with the 64 bit version by

C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe

the 32 bit version was started instead because the OS redirected the call to

C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe

For this I copied the 64 bit version of powershell to the folder (as mentioned in your answer above)

c:\KSTests

and configured KS Hostmon to use this version of powershell.
Now the OS does no redirect and everything workes fine.
