I am using c# to send powershell commands interacting with exchange. I have a method called initconnection which sets up my connection to exchange.
I have another method that I call when I click a button that will send a command to powershell after the connection is established. However I am not able to continue the created connection. When I try to run a command it says the command is not found. More than likely because it doesn't have the exchange cmdlets.
Runspace runspace = System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace();
runspace.Open();
Pipeline pipeline = runspace.CreatePipeline();
pipeline.Commands.AddScript("Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope process -Force;$password = ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force " + password + ";$mycred = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist " + username + ",$password;$LiveCred = Get-Credential -Credential $mycred; $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $LiveCred -Authentication Basic –AllowRedirection; Import-PSSession $Session");
// pipeline.Commands.Add("Out-String");
pipeline.Invoke();
mpeAdd.Hide();
This is the initconnection method that creates the connection.
protected void Get_Mailboxes(object sender, EventArgs e) {
PowerShell powershell = PowerShell.Create();
PSCommand command = new PSCommand();
command = new PSCommand();
command.AddCommand("Get-Mailbox");
powershell.Commands = command;
powershell.Runspace = runspace; //also it says runsapce doesn't exist in this context
Collection<PSObject> commandResults = powershell.Invoke();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
ArrayList boxesarray = new ArrayList();
foreach (PSObject ps in commandResults)
{
boxesarray.Add(ps.Properties["Alias"].Value.ToString());
}
boxes.DataSource = boxesarray;
boxes.DataBind();
}
This is my method I call when I click a button after the connection is create however it is not working.
