Insert "Y" After each line in Powershell

Can you use the -force switch?

I have a script of over 60 mailboxes to export from Exchange 2007, pressing Y after each one is becoming a royal pain in the ass.
I have tried putting a Y after a few lines and it didn't help. My Google foo might be weak, but any advise?

What is the command that's causing it to stop?

Knowing the command will help us find you the right parameter.

This, it's probably a command option that needs to be tracked down.

Export-Mailbox -Identity user -PSTFolderPath \server\exports\user.pst
60 lines of these.

Export-Mailbox

I don't see -force as a switch for that command. Generally it works for commands that require user input.

For my own curiosity, what version of Exchange are you running or are you doing this with Exchange Online?

Exchange 2007
I had to build a 32bit vm with Outlook to even get it to work. You cant run it from the server.

if -force doesn't work, you could also try...

-confirm:$false

dafyre's on the right track.

-confirm:$false did the trick. Adding to each line, thanks!
