Just grab property and not label

[markdmac]

When I execute the following command

$cs = Get-ClusteredMailboxServerStatus|FL Identity

I get the following output when I view $cs

Identity : DIAMONDEXCHANGE

This is returning the right information but I need for my variable to not incluse the "Identity :" part. Anyone know how to grab just the value of a property? I'd appreciate a sample.

Thanks

Mark

Figured it out:

$cs = Get-ClusteredMailboxServerStatus|%{$_.Identity}|%{$_.Name}

I hope you find this post helpful.

You can also do something like

$CMSArray = @(Get-ClusteredMailboxServerStatus)
ForEach ($CMS in $CMSArray){
write-host $CMS.Identity
}

Thanks Pat, I'll give that a try when I am in the office Monday to see how that works out.

I needed this so I could write a script (VBScript) that launches PowerShell to move the Active Node of the cluster. PowerShell does all the work, but I wanted double click capabilities so I am using VBScript to fire off the PowerShell.

For anyone else that is interested. Just run this script on a node of your cluster that s not the Active Node. This will transfer the Active Node to that system.

Will you be firing off a cluster.exe command to move the quorum as well?
