Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example exports journal rules on an Exchange 2010 Hub Transport server in a two-step process. In the first step, the Export-JournalRuleCollection cmdlet is used to export journal rules to the array $file.

Copy Code
$file = Export-JournalRuleCollection

In the second step, the Set-Content cmdlet is used to save the exported data to the XML file JournalRules.xml.

Copy Code
Set-Content -Path "C:\MyDocs\JournalRules.xml" -Value $file.FileData -Encoding Byte

EXAMPLE 2

This example exports legacy journal rules to an XML file using the two-step process similar to the preceding example. In the first step, the Export-JournalRuleCollection cmdlet is used with the ExportLegacyRules switch to export legacy rules to the array $file.

Copy Code
$file = Export-JournalRuleCollection -ExportLegacyRules

In the second step, the exported data is saved to the XML file Ex2007-JournallRules.xml.

Copy Code
Set-Content -Path "C:\MyDocs\Ex2007-JournalRules.xml" -Value $file.FileData -Encoding Byte
