Powershell task kill

Question

I have several meeting rooms setup to empty the Outlook mailbox when its closed. So im trying to have a powershell script close Outlook after office hours but if you PS C:> Stop-Process -Name "outlook" it just kills outlook where as if you manually close it a prompt comes up with an OK box saying inbox will be emptied are you ok with this or something along those lines

Is there a way to have it hit OK for me and close?

Thank you!

Hi Elise

Thats the same as what i was trying in the original post

Trouble is that just kills it off completely and doesnt give you the dialoge do you want to delete on the way out.

I need some extra script to close it gracefully and then fill out OK for me

Cheers
