Script Created in PowerGui taking a long time to load

Too many variables, it depends entirely on what each script does.

Chris

OK,
well this is one of the scripts that is slow to load.
------------------------------------------------------------------
$snServername='server01', 'server02' (all the way up to server25)
ForEach ($Srv in $snServerName)
{
$wmiServer = Get-Wmiobject -class Exchange_Server -computer $snServerName -namespace root\MicrosoftExchangeV2 #-ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$cdoexmIExchangeServer = New-Object -com CDOEXM.ExchangeServer
$cdoexmIStorageGroup = New-Object -com CDOEXM.StorageGroup
$cdoexmIMailboxStoreDB = New-Object -com CDOEXM.MailboxStoreDB
#$cdoexmIExchangeServer.Datasource.Open(('LDAP://' + $wmiServer.DN))
$cdoexmIExchangeServer.Datasource.Open($Srv)
foreach ($sgStoragegroup in $cdoexmIExchangeServer.StorageGroups)
{
 if ($sgStoragegroup.Indexof("CN=Recovery Storage Group") -eq 0){"Recovery Storage Group"}
 else{
  $cdoexmIStorageGroup.DataSource.Open(('LDAP://' + $sgStoragegroup))
  foreach ($MailStore in $cdoexmIStorageGroup.MailboxStoreDBs)
  {
   $cdoexmIMailboxStoreDB.DataSource.Open(('LDAP://' + $MailStore))
   if($cdoexmIMailboxStoreDB.Status -eq 0){$cdoexmIMailboxStoreDB.Name + " Mounted"}
   if($cdoexmIMailboxStoreDB.Status -eq 1){$cdoexmIMailboxStoreDB.Name + " DisMounted"}
}
}
}

I have to wait 10 minutes before the script completes.

Ouch, that's a long time.

You'd have to break it down further to figure out where it's slowing down. You could always insert a few Write-Host statements to mark progress.

Chris

How do I go about creating write-host statements?

thanks for this modified script.  I executed the script and it is stuck on "WMI Query".  In my testing environment it went through really quick (test environment only have one server).  In the production environment it did not even hit the first server yet and it has been 1 minute.

It could be trapped waiting for a timeout within WMI. It can be horribly slow if it does get stuck there. The namespace you're asking for isn't big, so I'd be surprised if it were more than that.

Have you tried executing just that command against the server in question separately?

Chris

I have not ran the command against the server in question; however, I am about to do that now, and get back to you with my findings.

Ok I was able to identify the server with the problem.  It seem as if my bridgehead server was the culprit.  After excluding the server from the script, it completed execution.

The script is still not instant; however, it completes in a reasonable amount of time.
