A Small Patch: Online Exchange Backup

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…
