EdgeTransport.exe.config Cmdlet
In the previous post on this subject I mentioned that I’ve been working on a little project regarding the EdgeTransport.exe.config file. With the advent of PowerShell I decided to look into writing my own Cmdlets and the EdgeTransport file seemed like a good place to start.
To get started you’ll need to download the Cmdlet from here.
Once download you will need to extract it somewhere (in this example I just dropped it in C:\) and then install it by running the following command:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\InstallUtil.exe C:\NAMOS-HiddenTransportConfig.dll
You should get the following output:
Next Load up PowerShell and run the following command:
Get-PSSnapin -registered
You should see something similar to the following:
Now you can either type
add-pssnapin NAMOS-HiddenTransportConfig
into the console each time or create a shortcut similar to the following:
%SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noexit -command add-pssnapin NAMOS-HiddenTransportConfig
If you typed it into your current console you will not get any feedback unless it fails:
Now that the cmdlet is installed you have two commands at your disposal:
get-HiddenTransportConfig
This will get the entire EdgeTransport.exe.config file and format it nicely:
You can pass a single arguement to get-HiddenTransportConfig which is the name of a key to retrieve the details of just that key:
The other command at your disposal is:
get-HiddenTransportConfigDescription
This takes an arguement of a key name and then queries this website to get the most up to date description of that keys purpose.
