Do any of you require dynamically discovering Exchange 2010 servers in Active Directory sites? I found the below link/script and am just looking for confirmation this is a solid way to discover Exchange servers in AD:
http://mikepfeiffer.net/2010/04/find-exchange-servers-in-the-local-active-directory-site-using-powershell/ Script: Function Get-ExchangeServerInSite { $ADSite = [System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.ActiveDirectorySite] $siteDN = $ADSite::GetComputerSite().GetDirectoryEntry().distinguishedName $configNC=([ADSI]"LDAP://RootDse").configurationNamingContext $search = new-object DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher([ADSI]"LDAP://$configNC") $objectClass = "objectClass=msExchExchangeServer" $version = "versionNumber>=1937801568" $site = "msExchServerSite=$siteDN" $search.Filter = "(&($objectClass)($version)($site))" $search.PageSize=1000 [void] $search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("name") [void] $search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("msexchcurrentserverroles") [void] $search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("networkaddress") $search.FindAll() | %{ New-Object PSObject -Property @{ Name = $_.Properties.name[0] FQDN = $_.Properties.networkaddress | %{if ($_ -match "ncacn_ip_tcp") {$_.split(":")[1]}} Roles = $_.Properties.msexchcurrentserverroles[0] } } } Confidentiality Notice: This is a transmission from Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula.
