Find Exchange Servers using Powershell

by ucinfo, posted in Exchange 2010, MsExchange, Powershell

#Powershell #MsExchange

I have a suite of discovery scripts that I use every now and then.  I adapted this to look in the AD and get a list of the exchange servers!

$forest    = [System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Forest]::GetCurrentForest()
$Dom = "LDAP://CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=" + $Forest.Name.Replace(".",",DC=")
$strFilter="(objectClass=msExchExchangeServer)"
$Root       = New-Object DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry $Dom
$selector   = New-Object DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher
$selector.PageSize   = 1000
$selector.Filter     = $strFilter
$selector.SearchRoot = $root
$selector.SearchScope = "Subtree"
$Objs = $selector.findall()
$Objs.count
$Objs

NetApp SnapManager for Exchange and Asynchronous call DoSnapshotSet timed out! errors

#NetApp #MsExchange

Have some issues with SME backing up Exchange and it throwing “Asynchronous call DoSnapshotSet timed out!” all over the backup log.

Well it appears that having free_space_realloc=on set on the Aggregates caused this.  As soon as it was set to off, this issue went away.

That just leaves this error to be fixed
