In a previous post (Warning when using exchange snap-in in PowerShell) I was asking how to properly connect to Exchange 2010 via powershell in a script with no output to the user because I am outputting Write-Host commands to the user and I don't want the warnings or output text from the Import-PSSession to interfere with my text being output to the user. We have since figured it out, but I am curious as to why my examples below do or do not work.
This DOES WORK:
$WarningPreference = "SilentlyContinue" $session = New-PSSession ` -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange ` -ConnectionUri http://server.domain.com/PowerShell/ ` -Authentication Kerberos Import-PSSession $session | Out-Null
Does NOT WORK:
$session = New-PSSession ` -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange ` -ConnectionUri http://server.domain.com/PowerShell/ ` -Authentication Kerberos Import-PSSession $session -WarningAction SilentlyContinue | Out-Null
Also does NOT WORK:
$session = New-PSSession ` -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange ` -ConnectionUri http://server.domain.com/PowerShell/ ` -Authentication Kerberos Import-PSSession $session -WarningAction "SilentlyContinue" | Out-Null
Can anyone explain why changing the $WarningPreference to "SilentlyContinue" DOES work, but running "Import-PSSession $session -WarningAction SilentlyContinue" does NOT? Is my command not typed properly?
