PowerShell -whatif and Exchange 2007

[Xinn]

Hi Guys,

I can't seem to find this anywhere online so was wonding if anyone can tell me if i can use -whatif to simulate a failover of a cluster using the following PowerShell commands

move-clusteredmailboxserver -identity:<clustername> -targetmachine:<targetnode> -movecomment:"Test PowerShell Failover Script" -whatif

I don't want to have the cluster failover during the day just in case something breaks and service goes down.

In my experience, if the get-help command says it's a supported switch it will work.

type 'get-help move-clusteredmailboxserver -detailed' into powershell, if it returns saying whatif is supported then i'm 95% sure it will not failover the cluster for you

*recommend doing this in a lab if you have one first of all though, or out of hours just to be safe!*

Suave cheers, forgot about get-help never thought to check. Looks like it should work.

Will probably run it early morning anyway just to be safe but at least we know it will work then.
