Content Matrix 9.5 - Public Folder Edition User Guide

Using PowerShell with Content Matrix

Metalogix Content Matrix can generate PowerShell scripts to be used to migrate SharePoint content through the PowerShell command window.  You can also use PowerShell to perform other actions, including:

·connecting to SharePoint

·triggering a job in the Content Matrix Console to run

The Content Matrix PowerShell Console shortcut is added to the same Start Menu folder location where the to Metalogix Content Matrix Consoles are placed after installation. The same PowerShell console can be used for any edition, as long as the edition-specific snap-ins are used.  You can also use a standard PowerShell console or PowerShell ISE.

Adding the PowerShell Snap-Ins for the Application Framework

Whenever a new PowerShell session is launched, the edition-specific snap-ins must be added before you can perform a Content Matrix action.

NOTES:

· If you have more than one edition of Content Matrix, only one edition can be run per PowerShell session.

·If Content Matrix settings  is changed, in order to apply new settings all PowerShell sessions must be restarted.  

To add the PowerShell cmdlets for the application framework:

1.Open a Powershell ISE or PowerShell console session.

2.Add the PowerShell snap-ins by pasting in the following text:

if ( $PsVersionTable.PSVersion.Major -lt 3 ) { Write-Host "Windows PowerShell Version 3.0 or later needs to be installed in order to run Content Matrix PowerShell scripts."; exit; }
if ( (Get-PSSnapin -Name Metalogix.System.Commands -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null ) { add-pssnapin Metalogix.System.Commands | out-null }
if ( (Get-PSSnapin -Name Metalogix.Exchange.Commands -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null ) { add-pssnapin Metalogix.Exchange.Commands | out-null }
if ( (Get-PSSnapin -Name Metalogix.SharePoint.Commands -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null ) { add-pssnapin Metalogix.SharePoint.Commands | out-null }if (Get-Command Set-MetalogixJobPrerequisites -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue){ Set-MetalogixJobPrerequisites -Value "Content Matrix Console - Public Folder Edition" }
