Adding my own 2¢ to the PowerShell & Technology Communities
Today’s ramble is about the new BlackBerry 10 Infrastructure and how I see it interacting with a dual data center environment. I need to emphasize that this discussion is based solely on the RTM version of the BlackBerry 10 Enterprise Server. For those who have read the blog before, you know that I’m passionate about … Read more
So, I got it in my head that it might be nice to have a script in my pocket to monitor the Exchange 2010 Mail Flow speeds. I used to have a similar script that worked with the Exchange 2007 systems that I maintain, but with the extensions of the PowerShell Snap-ins within Exchange 2010 … Read more
As a summary, in Part 1, we did the necessary prep work. In Part 2, we looked at the way that we could load the types generated from the BlackBerry Web Services. In Part 3, we went over the pseudocode that was provided by Research In Motion. Here in Part 4, we’re actually going to … Read more
In Part 1 of this series, we created a few files that are necessary to use the BlackBerry Web Services extensions. In Part 2, I showed you how to load them into PowerShell. Here in Part 3, we’ll be converting the C# sample code published by Research In Motion to PowerShell. A note about SSL: … Read more
In my previous post (here), I ran through the process of downloading and creating your own C# file and then compiling that into a DLL for use with BlackBerry’s Web Services (version 5.0.3+). After that work, you now have yourself a BesProxy.cs and a BesProxy.dll file that you can use to create the objects for … Read more

When I’ve migrated mailboxes from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007, I was always asked how quickly the mailboxes moved. It wasn’t the easiest to figure this information out, but I was able to report on it after massaging the data for a while. Exchange 2010 moves store the information differently and you can access that … Read more
My company went through a migration a few years ago of all of our users from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007. The mailbox moves were insanely time-consuming. Each mailbox has to be taken offline during the migration and that meant many, many nights of sitting up all night staring at progress bars. Exchange 2010 handles … Read more
If you’ve been working with New-WebServiceProxy in PowerShell and have insecure (hopefully) internal sites that you are working with, you’ve undoubtedly seen the following message: New-WebServiceProxy : The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel. At line:1 char:20 + New-WebServiceProxy <<<< -Uri https://[SERVERNAME]:[PORT]/[URLtoWSDL] + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (https://[SERVERNAME]:[PORT]/[URLtoWSDL]:Uri) … Read more
So, like last year, I’m going to be attending TEC2012. I’m primarily interested in the Exchange and PowerShell modules, but I’ll be adding more information later. For those of you interested, this is one of the premier conferences that I’ve ever had the priviledge to attend. If you can figure a way to attend, please … Read more
