Exchange Shell Scripts

[baggies1]

Hi

I currently use several seperate commands to update the whitelist on both senderid and contentfilter spam filters on Edge server (ex2007).

Goes a little something like this:

$List = (Get-ContentFilterConfig).BypassedSenderDomains
$list - to display list of variables
$List.add("microsoft.com”)
$list - to check list of variables
set-contentfilterconfig -BypassedSenderDomains:$list
get-contentfilterconfig - to check new entries

I do it this way to avoid overwriting existing entries in this field. This process in essence updates the existing list of whitelist entries whilst adding my new entry.

I want to create a script that does the above automatically, either by prompting for the new entry/domain or by putting it into a adjoining text file where it can be read.

Any ideas or pointers would be great thanks.

If you have it in a .ps1 file, then you can use $Args[0] to get the first thing supplied on the command line. So this should work, but I haven't tested it:

[script PowerShell]
$List = (Get-ContentFilterConfig).BypassedSenderDomains $list
$List.add($args[0])
$list
set-contentfilterconfig -BypassedSenderDomains:$list
get-contentfilterconfig
[/script]

And you would just call it via
.\Add-Domain.ps1 microsoft.com
(or whatever your script is called)

This would add microsoft.com to the list.

You should also be able to do this, which would prompt for a name to add:

$a = read-host -prompt "Please enter domain name to add: "
$list = (Get-ContentFilterConfig).BypassedSenderDomains
$list
$list.add($a) 
$list
set-contentfilterconfig -BypassedSenderDomains:$list 
get-contentfilterconfig
