Management Shell - Can the confirmation prompt for Delete-RMEMessage be bypassed? -
Description
Scenario:Need to automate the deletion of a large number of messages from mailboxes and in-place archives.
Example:$Script:objSrcSearch = Get-RMEMessage $objSrcMbx -SearchIn Attach -AttachmentOptions Present -AttachmentText "ABC" -TextCaseSensitive -TextWholeWord -ErrorAction Stop
One item was found and the deletion line is:$objSrcSearch | Delete-RMEMessage -ErrorAction Stop
This came up with a Confirm prompt.
Attempt:
Delete-RMEMessage $objSrcSearch -Confirm:$False
This resulted in the following error:PS>TerminatingError(Delete-RMEMessage): "A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Confirm'."Delete-RMEMessage : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Confirm'.At C:\Temp\ABC.ps1:325 char:42+ $objSrcSearch | Delete-RMEMessage -Confirm:$False -ErrorAction Stop+ ~~~~~~~~~+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Delete-RMEMessage], ParameterBindingException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,QuestSoftware.RecoveryManager.PowerShell.Commands.DeleteRMEMessageCommandOther unsuccessful attempts:
