Detailed Description
When you enable a cmdlet extension agent, the agent is run on every Exchange 2010 server in the organization. When an agent is enabled, it's made available to cmdlets that can then use the agent to perform additional operations.
 Caution: |
|---|
| Before you enable agents, be sure that you're aware of how the agent works and what impact the agent will have on your organization. |
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Cmdlet extension agents" entry in the Exchange and Shell Infrastructure Permissions topic.

The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory. |

Examples
EXAMPLE 1
This example enables the Scripting Agent cmdlet extension agent. Before you enable the Scripting Agent, you need to make sure that you've first deployed the ScriptingAgentConfig.xml configuration file to all the servers in your organization. If you don't deploy the configuration file first and you enable the Scripting Agent, all non-Get cmdlets will fail when they are run. For more information about the Scripting Agent, see Understanding the Scripting Agent.
