Exchange remoting output not as expected

PowerShell Help
1

Hi guys

building a exchange checker (basically a one click GUI that will go off and check RPC, Transport queues, active DB mounts, Ping times etc…)

99% of this is working however when i try to retrieve the transport queues i get the below

“Snippet of transport section” (EURXMBS08 has a transport role selected)

$Username = "global\mark.prior"
	$Password = ConvertTo-SecureString "passwordgoeshere" -AsPlainText -Force
	$cred = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $username, $password
	
	$SESJA_EX = New-PSSession -Credential $cred -ConnectionUri http://eurxmbs08/powershell -ConfigurationName microsoft.exchange
	Import-PSSession $SESJA_EX -AllowClobber

$servers = Get-ExchangeServer eurxhts* | select name -ExpandProperty name
foreach ($Server in $Servers)
{
    Get-Queue | where-OBJECT {$_.messAGECOUNT -GE 0} | select identity, messagecount, nexthopdomain
}

command works fine but the output below is wrong, as you can see from the first query “$servers = Get-ExchangeServer eurxhts* | select name -ExpandProperty name” it should be returning results for any servers that match “eurxhts*” instead it simply checks its own transport queue 3 times (3 HTS servers are returned in $servers EURXHTS01,02 & 03)

Look at this piece:

$servers = Get-ExchangeServer eurxhts* | select name -ExpandProperty name
foreach ($Server in $Servers)
{
    Get-Queue | where-OBJECT {$_.messAGECOUNT -GE 0} | select identity, messagecount, nexthopdomain
}

You’re populating $servers, but you’re not using that with Get-Queue, right? Get-Queue is just running against the default, which is the local server. I’d expect you to be passing it $server in a parameter of some kind.
