Is there a new version of evopmode for PowerShell?

This issue has been solved. See solution.

Hello all,

I may be barking up the wrong tree here, but I just wanted to ask the following questions;

Is there an updated version of evopmode.bat for use with clustered versions of Enterprise Vault 8.3 using PowerShell?

Is it necessary to update the batch file to work with PowerShell?

The reason I ask is that we run our scripts from our backup server.  At the moment, as it currently stands, the registry is updated on the active cluster node.  This is done with the following line in evopmode.bat;

reg add "\\%1\HKLM\Software\KVS\Enterprise Vault\Storage" /f /v EnableArchive       /t REG_DWORD /d %2

The services are also successfully stopped on the active cluster node via evservice.

The issue for me is to place the active node into backup mode.  The active node, at the time, could be the passive node.  Is there a way of running PowerShell remotely for the set- commands?

Maybe i'm not understanding this properly?  Anyone?

Hi BZ, There is now no need

Hi BZ,

There is now no need to use regkeys and restart the services. Enterprise Vault v8 now needs no services restarted to place it into read only mode.  I would suggest moving to power-shell as the regkeys will be removed in the next major version of Enterprise Vault.  Hence the Warnings in the event log.

BTW, when giving version information a SP does not count as a .  There is no such version as 8.3, and it will confuse people here.  It v8.0 SP3, hope that makes sense.

So yes, your best bet is to replace your bat files and use power-shell.  The backup section is really good in the documentation, and this has been covered off many times here.  Please have a look at the documentation as well as previous posts here.
