re: Multivalued Properties in Exchange 2010

An example of using more than literal strings

I thought I would be able to use something like this for removing unwanted smtp’s

[array]$MailboxToChange = Get-Mailbox -Identity 'Username@whatever'

$MailboxToChange | Set-Mailbox -EmailAddresses @{ Remove="smtp:$($_.Alias)@bad.whatever"}

But I ended up needing to use . . . . .

Clear-Host

[array]$MailboxToChange = Get-Mailbox -Identity 'Username@whatever'

$MailboxToChange | ForEach-Object {

$Badsmtp = $_.Alias

$_ | Set-Mailbox -EmailAddresses @{ Remove="smtp:$Badsmtp@bad.whatever"}

} # End ForEach-Object

I am not quite sure why the first example would not make the change that works in the second

I don't use it. I ignore it.

Perhaps the first few dozen times I opened the EMS, I did read it.

After six-ish years (since Exchange 2007 beta), I don't pay any attention to it. Then again, I'm a consultant, I have dozens of customers, and I open more than a dozen EMS sessions on an average work day.

Tip is useful, don't always read it.

Hi, I always found the banner very informative. It would be great if you could make get-help a standard banner and then give an example for Tip of the Day.

I'm for supressing it as well (as an option). I write a lot of PowerShell scripts that may need to spool up RemoteExchange.ps1 for an EMS session. Being able to supress the banner stuff (maybe a switch for the script) would make for cleaner output in the scripts.

re: How do you find the information you need?

Depends on the goal:

Troubleshooting / Syntax etc: Most of the times I end up TechNet - or anywhere for that matter - is after I queried Google for keywords (sorry, Bing doesn't do a proper job in this case). Customers and technicians follow the same path.

Reading / Planning: For unknown topics, I might browse through the topics for a decent overview.

Official Statements: When verifying support stances etc I sometimes use the search option on the MS or Technet site.

I use search if I can not get the result I am looking for, I then go around TOC to find a similar subject. If still not satisfied, I usually search Technet forums, blogs and search engines.

In addition, I would appreciate documentation with more examples; sometimes examples do not reflect possible scenarios.
