Exchange Online (365) - Powershell Pipe Limit?

[FN-GM]

Hi,

 

In Exchange Online Powershell is there some kind of limt on the number of pipes I can use?

 

For example if I do this

 

get-mailbox | Set-CasMailbox -OwaMailboxPolicy "Student OWA Policy" -ActiveSyncEnabled $false -PopEnabled $false -ImapEnabled $false -MAPIEnabled $false

 

That works fine and the desired is applied.

 

If I do this

 

get-mailbox | Set-Mailbox -AddressBookPolicy " Student Address Book Policy"

 

That also works fine and the desired is applied.

 

But If I run this

 

get-mailbox | Set-CasMailbox -OwaMailboxPolicy "Student OWA Policy" -ActiveSyncEnabled $false -PopEnabled $false -ImapEnabled $false -MAPIEnabled $false | Set-Mailbox -AddressBookPolicy " Student Address Book Policy"

 

I get no errors as if the command has completed but the address book policy ins't applied

 

Why is it ignoring anything after the second pipe please?

 

Thanks

Because the 'set-casmailbox' command doesn't return an output?

[pcstru]

What is the output from Set-CasMailbox?

[FN-GM]

What do you mean when you say the output please?

[Domino]

Well 'get-mailbox' gets all the mailboxes, and passes that to 'set-casmailbox'. the output from 'set-casmailbox' is passed to 'set-mailbox'.

[FN-GM]

So what do I do to fix it please?

[Domino]

Run

 

get-mailbox | Set-CasMailbox -OwaMailboxPolicy "Student OWA Policy" -ActiveSyncEnabled $false -PopEnabled $false -ImapEnabled $false -MAPIEnabled $false

 

then

 

get-mailbox | Set-Mailbox -AddressBookPolicy " Student Address Book Policy"

[FN-GM]

Is there anyway to do it in all one command please?

[Domino]

or add " -PassThru " onto the first command

 

get-mailbox | Set-CasMailbox -OwaMailboxPolicy "Student OWA Policy" -ActiveSyncEnabled $false -PopEnabled $false -ImapEnabled $false -MAPIEnabled $false -PassThru | Set-Mailbox -AddressBookPolicy " Student Address Book Policy"

Just tried -PassThru like you did above and its an invalid parameter

Well you could script it with a foreach loop to run through one command, then the other? PowerShell Foreach Loop operator | Foreach-object cmdlet
