How to create multiple PSSession to exchange management shell

PowerShell Help

Hi
I am trying to create multiple PSSession to exchange management shell. I can’t figure out how to get this done. The code below is

foreach ($Server in $Serverlist) {
$UserCredential = Get-Credential
$MySession = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri http://$Server.globalnet.lcl/PowerShell/ -Authentication Kerberos -Credential $UserCredential
Import-PSSession $MySession
Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus | Select-Object Name, Status, activationpreference | Format-Table -AutoSize
}
Get-PSSession | Remove-PSSession

Hello,

Can you please elaborate? What the goal?

Are you connecting to all servers using same credentials?

 

Thank you.

foreach ($Server in $Serverlist) {
    $uri = "http://$Server.globalnet.lcl/PowerShell/"
    $UserCredential = Get-Credential
    $MySession = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri $uri -Authentication Kerberos -Credential $UserCredential
    Invoke-Command -Session $MySession -ScriptBlock {
        Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus | Select-Object Name, Status, activationpreference}
}
Get-PSSession | Remove-PSSession

Try to use Invoke-Command with Session parameter.

You can try something similar to this:

$s = New-PSSession -ComputerName Server02 -Credential Domain01\User01
Invoke-Command -Session $s -ScriptBlock {Get-MaboxDatabaseSatus}

Or this:

$parameters = @{
  ComputerName = "Server01", "Server02", "TST-0143", "localhost"
  ConfigurationName = 'MySession.PowerShell'
  ScriptBlock = { Get-MaboxDatabaseSatus }
}
Invoke-Command @parameters

Hope that helps.

Oh, thanks. It’s functioning.
I tried to add the line below and received error.

Error: the term format table is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

Invoke-Command -Session $MySession -ScriptBlock {
Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus | Select-Object Name, Status, activationpreference | Format-Table -Autosize}
}

You should Format-Table outside of the Invoke-Command as it’s a formatting command. The data needs to be serialized and sent over and I’m fairly certain that breaks with the Format-* commands.

Invoke-Command -Session $MySession -ScriptBlock {
Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus | Select-Object Name, Status, activationpreference}
} | Format-Table -Autosize
