I need to run exchange cmdlets from a c# console application.

I followed the guide from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb332449.aspx for a simple command with a single parameter

The cmdlets I need to run is:

Get-MailboxStatistics -server evs | Select servername, StorageGroupName,databasename,@{expression={$_.TotalItemSize.value.ToKB()}},ItemCount,mailboxguid

I cannot specify the field that I need after the select command and I don't know how I can pass the expression @{expression={$_.TotalItemSize.value.ToKB()}} to cmdlets.

Is there a way to do it in managed code?

  • Oooh,I so wish that you had gotten an answer to this question, other than the one to try Redemption. I'm working on the same thing, and if I get an answer I'll be back here. – ChrisW Aug 26 '10 at 23:10

Have you tried the examples in the Exchange Management Shell SDK at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff326155(v=EXCHG.140).aspx?

You can use Import-PSSession to move the remote session into a local powershell runspace.

Here are 2 methods.

Take a look at the Redemption library: http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/

I'm not sure if it satisfies your specific requirements but it does expose a lot of information through managed code.
