Trouble scripting inputs for set-Umserver cmd let

Question

I've writing some Exchange 2010 Unified Messaging automation scripts. I'm trying to automate the assoication of UM dial plans to UM Servers. The powershell command is :

[PS] E:\Scripts>Set-UmServer -id Exchange01 -DialPlans "test1", "test2"

When I try the following scripting solution:

[PS] E:\Scripts>$str = "`"test1`", `"test2`""
[PS] E:\Scripts>Set-UmServer -id Exchange01 -DialPlans $str

I get an error:

The UM dial plan "test1", "test2" doesn't exist.
+ CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (0:Int32) [Set-UmServer], ManagementObjectNotF
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : 7AF43AA1,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Tasks.UM.SetUMServer

My feeling is that I'm handling the variable incorrectly and the variable is swapping in ""test1", "test2"" rather than "test1", "test2".

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

regards

Jon

You're overworking it. :-) Try this:

$str = "test1", "test2"
Set-UmServer -id Exchange01 -DialPlans $str
