If you only had a single storage group, the script in Exchange 2007 and Windows 2008: Online Exchange Backup (part 6 of 7) would not find any storage groups. The primary reason for that I always have a RSG too! 🙂 The fix is easy. In getStoragegroups, change the beginning few lines:
function getStorageGroups
{
$count = 0
#
# locate the storage groups and their log files and system files
#
$colSG = get-StorageGroup -server $computername
if ($colSG.Count -lt 1)
else
{
write-host "No storage groups found on server $computername"
return 1
}
to look like this:
function getStorageGroups
{
$count = 0
#
# locate the storage groups and their log files and system files
#
$colSG = get-StorageGroup -server $computername
### if ($colSG.Count -lt 1)
if (($colSG -is [Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.StorageGroup]) -or
($colSG -is [System.Object[]]))
{
## everything is good
}
else
{
write-host "No storage groups found on server $computername"
return 1
}
Until next time…
