Vista Tutorial - Confirm-promt in PS-script

11-10-2007

I wrote a script to assign a mailbox policy to users created in the last 24
hours:

$today=get-date
$yesterday=$today.AddDays(-1d)
get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited | Where-Object {$_.WhenCreated -gt
"$yesterday"} | Set-Mailbox -ManagedFolderMailboxPolicy "Empty deleted items
folder once a week"

However, there is a problem. I get this promt when running the script:

Confirm
When assigning a managed folder mailbox policy with managed custom folders
to
the mailbox "adm.no/Users/Test Policy", Outlook clients older than Outlook
2007
do not have all available client features and clients older than Outlook
2003
SP2 are not supported. You may use the "Set-CASMailbox" task to enable
client
version blocking. Are you sure you want to assign a managed folder mailbox
policy to this mailbox?
[Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [N] No [L] No to All [S] Suspend [?] Help
(default is "Y"):

I`ve tried to add -confirm:$false, but it didn`t help.

Any suggestions?

Hopefully this links works properly if you click it:

If not, look for this thread from August 24th: "suppressing confirmation
prompt".

Basically, there's a "-ManagedFolderMailboxPolicyAllowed" parameter
available.

I'm not sure if this is the case, try -Force and if it doesn't help try to
add -ForceUpgrade to the set command.
In the where-object I suggest to remove the double quotes on "$yesterday":

Where-Object {$_.WhenCreated -gt $yesterday} ...

You don't want to compare against a string instead of a datetime object though
PowerShell may do the convertion for you.

Thank you, the "ManagedFolderMailboxPolicyAllowed" did it.
Also, the AutoIt was nice to know.
