Powershell script to change operator email address notification

Question

This is the script I have been trying to get work:

 [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.SMO") | Out-Null

$server = "servername"

$srv = new-object ("Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server") $server

$op = new-object ("Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Agent.Operator") $srv.JobServer, "DBA Team"

$op.emailAddress = "johndoe@gmail.com" 
$op.alter

Answer 1

To change the email address for an existing operator use this.

$srv.JobServer.Operators.Item('DBA Team').EmailAddress = 'johndoe@gmail.com'
$srv.JobServer.Operators.Item('DBA Team').Alter()

Your code is almost what you would use to add a new operator.
