How do I Set an Online Maintenance Schedule Using PowerShell?
When you are managing computers set up with the Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, you determine when online maintenance should be performed for mailbox databases and public folder databases in the server. You can use the Exchange Management Shell snap-in with the PowerShell application to create the online maintenance schedule. With the Exchange Management Shell program you must enter a command into the command line and the schedule will be automatically set up for the database.
