I've always run the script below since exchange server 2013 and after applying the exchange server 2019 CU11 and exchange server 2016 CU22 updates I've been getting the error below. I tried in various ways to get around and was not successful in getting around this situation. Can someone help me please?
My error:
[PS] D:\AuditLogReport>.\AuditLogReport.ps1 -To [email protected] -From [email protected] -SmtpServer SRV001.myomain.local
New-AuditLogReport : The input object cannot be bound to any parameters for the command either because the command

CodePudding user response:
The error message implies that the output from your Search-AdminAuditLog
call is not of type [Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemConfigurationTasks.AdminAuditLogEvent]
and also cannot be converted to it.
That is, your New-AuditLogReport
function expects object of type [Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemConfigurationTasks.AdminAuditLogEvent]
as pipeline input, but the actual pipeline is of a different, incompatible type.
Run the following to get the full type name(s) of the output objects output by your Search-AdminAuditLog
call:
Search-AdminAuditLog -ResultSize 250000 -StartDate ((Get-Date).AddHours(-48)) -EndDate (Get-Date) |
Get-Member | ForEach-Object TypeName | Select-Object -Unique
Then adjust the $AuditLogEntry
parameter declaration in your New-AuditLogReport
function accordingly.
Here's a simple demonstration of the problem, which provokes the error you saw, because the input object isn't of the expected type ([datetime]
) and cannot be converted to it:
"Definitely not a date." | & {
param(
[Parameter(ValueFromPipeline)]
[datetime] $Date
)
}

Your observation is very important. This server the "TypeName" is correct and the script is working fine.
[PS] C:>Search-AdminAuditLog -ResultSize 250000 -StartDate ((Get-Date).AddHours(-1)) -EndDate (Get-Date) | Get-Member | ForEach-Object TypeName | Select-Object -Unique
Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemConfigurationTasks.AdminAuditLogEvent
Another Exchange server is different: <Deserialized.*>
Search-AdminAuditLog -ResultSize 250000 -StartDate ((Get-Date).AddHours(-1)) -EndDate (Get-Date) | Get-Member | ForEach-Object TypeName | Select-Object -Unique
Deserialized.Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemConfigurationTasks.AdminAuditLogEvent
How can I serialize again this AdminAuditLogEvent class Powershell?
