I have a script which queries AD and lists all Exchange 2003 servers.

$root= New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("LDAP://RootDSE")
$cfgNC = [adsi]("LDAP://" + $root.Get("configurationNamingContext"))
$search = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher($cfgNC)
$search.filter = '(objectclass=msExchExchangeServer)'
$ExchServer = $search.FindAll()

You get the results in the format:

LDAP://CN=EXCH1,CN=Servers,CN=First Administrative Group,C........

I need to get them listed as:

EXCH1
EXCH2
etc....

So far I can get to

CN=EXCH1
CN=EXCH2

with

$t = @()

foreach ($server in $ExchServer)
{
$s = ([string]$server.properties.distinguishedname).split(",")

$t = $t + $s[0]
}

but I can't get on from there to what I need and I don't think its a
particulalry good way to have done it anyway.

So can anyone help me get to where I need?

Thanks

Shay Levi

$ExchServer | foreach {$_.properties.name}
