Capture result of Restore-VEXItem

Post by kortex »

I am trying to capture the result of Restore-VEXItem to send it by mail.

The cmdlet writes on completion something like the following to host:
Restore summary:
3 items skipped.
Can i store this to a variable?

Code: Select all

$result = Restore-VEXItem -Item $item -RestoreDeletedItem -ToFolder VeeamRestore
does not work; $result is still $null

There is a cmdlet called Get-VBOExchangeItemRestoreSession which should give the result of this.

Another option is using basic PowerShell redirection options.

All I can see in Get-VBRExchangeItemRestoreSession (on-prem exchange) is the property "Result" which only returns "success" or "failed" but no details on how many items have been created or skipped.

I guess this is now an feature request :D :

Restore-VEXItem should return information on restored items as objects and not write to host.

I tried redirecting the output from Restore-VEXItem but had no luck either.
Start-Tanscript didnt do the job, neither did Out-File or *>
Any ideas what i am missing?

Looks like the output is not written to any stream?
