Win7 RC build does not work with Outlook Live PowerShell. Will do at some point in the next few months though.

Hi Jonny!

I'm having problems when trying to connect my PS to OL.. I can run some cmdlets but when I try to open a session it always dislays the next error message:

[ps.outlook.com] Processing data from remote server failed with the following error message: The Windows Remote Shell cannot process the request; the selector value F077D9
9A-A975-49AF-8748-C6CCE73BCCDE specified in the request was not found. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
+ CategoryInfo : OpenError: (System.Manageme....RemoteRunspace:RemoteRunspace) [], PSRemotingTransportException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PSSessionOpenFailed

BTW I'm currently using Windows 7 RC Build 7100... Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Israel

On scheduling a batch job... this is what I got to work for me (using Windows Scheduler). I use 3 files in total.

- A createusers.bat file containing the following command (this is what I schedule to run):
powershell.exe -command "& 'c:\tools\batch.ps1' "

- A batch.ps1 file containing:
$Username = "admin@contososchool.info"
$Password = ConvertTo-SecureString 'MyPassword' -AsPlainText -Force
$Livecred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential $Username, $Password
c:\tools\CSV_Parser_R3.PS1 -UsersFile c:\tools\students.csv -LiveCredential $Livecred -LogDirectory c:\tools\Logging\ -ValidateAction $true
get-pssession | remove-pssession

- CSV_Parser.ps1 – no mods

You can obtain the new script from http://connect.microsoft.com/ Sign up for access to the Outlook Live CONNECTION, and you will see the script in there in the downloads section.

hye jonny,

Thanks.

Thinking that your domain is not fully provisioned yet. Can you log on to the domain at outlook.com with your admin account?

Feel free to ping me at jonncha AT microsoft.com if you like.

When I run the instructions for connecting Windows PowerShell to Outlook Live I get this response. I am including what I imput also.
PS H:\> $LiveCred = Get-Credential

cmdlet Get-Credential at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:

This could be a number of things... contact me on mail at jonncha AT microsoft.com and I will connect you with a specialist in your region... or help you myself.

I get this message whenever I try to run the CSV_Parser R3 script. I've got CTP3 of WinRM and powershell installed on Vista. Our Exchange Labs was Any ideas what this message means and why I can't run the script?

Thanks for the excellent explanation for getting started with the latest version--everything worked like a charm for me. Can you add an addendum for adding a "profanity filter" and "restricting mail flow" in the new world version when you get a moment of free time? These are two important issues for K-12 education.

Cheers,
