Exchange Server 2007 introduced a new GUI management console (Exchange Management Console) to replace the Exchange System Manager (ESM) of previous versions.

Validating an e-mail address could be really usefull. Here is a really good thing to do before sending that address to a creation/modification script :
Function ValidMail ([string]$Mail ) {
$regexp=”^([a-zA-Z0-9_-.]+)@(([[0-9]{1,3}” +
“.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.)|(([a-zA-Z0-9-]+” +
“.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(]?)$”if ($Mail -match $regexp) {
$return=$True
}
Else {
$return=$False
}
Return $return
}
Sending an email in powershell can be done, once more, using .Net Frameword 🙂
Function SendMail([string]$file,[string]$sender,[string]$recipients,[string]$server){
$message = new-object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
$message.from = $sender
$message.subject = “My first mail in Powershell”
$message.body = “Hello,” + “`r`n” +”This mail was sent automatically by the script” + “`r`n” +”You will find in attachement all information you asked.” + “`r`n” +”Regards”
foreach ($rec in $recipients){$message.TO.add($rec)}
