Minor update to last backup report (1.3.1)

By Scott, December 18, 2008 7:46 AM

Version 1.3.1 fixes a small issue where the subject would still say everything is okay even though the threshold for the last backup had been exceeded.  (I didn’t set the scope of the variable correctly after moving part of the code into a function.)  Download.

Powershell one-liner to remotely get SSL certificate expiration

By Scott, December 10, 2008 4:34 PM

This is a quick and dirty way of retrieving the self-signed SSL certificate that Exchange 2007 servers use out of the box.  Get-ExchangeCertificate only works locally on the box that has the certificate…not fun when you have a long list to find out so you can build a list for renewing them.  This uses psexec to connect to the remote server and retrieve any personal certificates and display the expiration date.  Short and sweet.

.\psexec \\server cmd /c "echo . | powershell (gci -path cert:\localmachine\my).notafter"

Exchange 2007 backup script updated to v1.3

By Scott, December 3, 2008 4:25 PM

This update fixes reporting for public folder databases.  I failed to account for the fact that PF databases won’t be returned when using Get-MailboxDatabase.  The structure of the script has changed a little bit to accommodate that, but the resulting change in the output is only that PF databases will now be included (and storage groups that only had a PF database won’t report that no databases are present).  Download v1.3.
