Executive Summary:
Exchange Management Shell (EMS) in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 lets you set properties on objects to manage every aspect of your Exchange environment. The -confirm and -WhatIf switches are built-in safety features that help prevent accidental loss of data. Any property that appears in a Set-* cmdlet should be available in the corresponding
Get-* cmdlet, and you can view the list of supported properties from the output of the Get-* cmdlet. EMS also lets you set data types specific to Windows PowerShell and set multivalued properties.
