如何从C＃在Exchange命令行管理程序中启动脚本？

Question

I am creating a website with which you can create room mailboxes. Once you click on "Create", a PowerShell-Script is built in C# (as a string). Now how do I start the Exchange Management Shell and execute that script?

I've tried Process.Start(EMSfilePath, scriptToBeExecuted) , however the EMS is a shortcut (.lnk file) and Process.Start doesn't like that. When I look at the target of that shortcut I see that powershell.exe is started with a couple of parameters. If I try Process.Start("powershell.exe", coupleOfParameters ), the EMS does get opened, however I don't know how to now pass my script in there. Please help

I've used this C# example code in the past to manage on-premises Exchange Server:

using System;
using System.Management.Automation;
using System.Management.Automation.Runspaces;
using System.Security;


private static Runspace OpenExchangeManagementRunspace(
    string url,
    AuthenticationMechanism authenticationMechanism = AuthenticationMechanism.Kerberos,
    string userName = null,
    string password = null)
{
    Runspace runspace = null;

    WSManConnectionInfo shellConnection = null;

    PSCredential shellCred = null;

    // Username and password is optional when using Kerberos authentication
    if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(userName) &&
        !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(password))
    {
        var securePassword = ConvertToSecureString(password);
        shellCred = new PSCredential(userName, securePassword);
    }

    shellConnection = new WSManConnectionInfo(new Uri(url), "http://schemas.microsoft.com/powershell/Microsoft.Exchange", shellCred);

    shellConnection.AuthenticationMechanism = authenticationMechanism;

    // This will take some time
    runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(shellConnection);
    runspace.Open();

    return runspace;
}


// USAGE:


// URL for Office365:
//     https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/
//
// URL for on-premises Exchange server:
//     http://hostname/powershell?serializationLevel=Full;clientApplication=MyAppName
//
using (Runspace remoteRunspace = OpenExchangeManagementRunspace("https://example.com/powershell?serializationLevel=Full;clientApplication=MyExampleAppName"))
using (PowerShell shell = PowerShell.Create())
{
    shell.Runspace = remoteRunspace;

    // Run some commands:
    shell
        .AddCommand("Get-Mailbox")
        .AddParameter("Identity", "example@example.com")
        .Invoke();
}
