help with Get-Mailbox methods

[jvierra]

I don't understand. We haven't done anything other than prove you can enumerate teh table.

There is something wrong with what yo are typing into the PS session. We need to try the next step.

$DebugPreference = "Continue"

$table | % { [string]$alias = $_.alias; write-debug $alias; Get-Mailbox -Identity $alias }

[jvierra]

Try this with table.

$table[0].Alias

Does this give you a value or nothing?

[jvierra]

What happens when you just type $table

Do you see all of the data?


I am beginning to feel that you are not telling me some critical piece of information. What could that be?

[jvierra]

Does $table[0] give you just the first row?

What does $table[0]|gm look like?

[jadamski]

yep both of those work and give me the first row information or just alias.

[jadamski]

it gives me the first alias

PS H:> $table[0].aliasdickeyPS H:>

[jadamski]

that seems to work also

PS H:> foreach($row in $table){$row.alias}dickeylindaaktatedvoshall

[jadamski]

these seem to work:

PS H:> foreach($row in $table){Get-Mailbox -Identity $row.alias}

It works - looks liike some kind of interesting typo.

The need for teh "foreach" is because the "row" gets re-wrapped in a collection when passed in the pipeline. Seems to be a charcateristic of rowsets.
