I'm trying to run the following command:

Get-Mailbox | set-Mailbox -ManagedFolderMailboxPolicy "Retention Policy"

How do I get it to automatically use the "(A) yes to all" option as I am
running this as a scheduled task.



This one is driving me nuts.

I don't have Exchange but the convention is usually to have a -Force switch.
Is there one?

Don't have Exchange Cmdlets to verify, but there are two ways you can suppress confirmation :

# set the automatic variable to 'None' or 0 in your script
$ConfirmPreference = 'None'

# pass $false or 0 to the -Confirm switch
... -confirm:$false

If you are using Exchange SP1, use the -confirn switch:

Get-Mailbox | set-Mailbox -ManagedFolderMailboxPolicy "Retention Policy"
-confirm: $false

If you are using Exchange RTM, temporarily set $confirmpreference to none:

$preference = $confirmpreference
$confirmpreference = “None�
Get-Mailbox | set-Mailbox -ManagedFolderMailboxPolicy "Retention Policy"
$confirmpreference = $preference

that was it. thanks so much. Everything I read using Google had me using
-confirm:$false
without the space between : and $.

Thanks
