IsEnabled            : False
RetryIntervalSeconds : 30

Example 2: Get servers for the email notification channel

PS C:\>$EmailChannel = Get-SCSMChannel
PS C:\> $EmailChannel.ConfigurationSources | Format-Table -AutoSize
SequenceNumber Server        PortNumber Authentication
-------------- ------        ---------- --------------
0              SMTPServer1   25          WindowsIntegrated
1              SMTPServer2   25          WindowsIntegrated
2              SMTPServer3   25          WindowsIntegrated
