How to execute rskeymgmt utility silently in windows server 2008

Question

When i run reskeymgmt.exe - to create a backup copy of the encryption key, it responses

"Are you sure want to extract the key from the Report Server? Yes (y)/ No (n)?"

I found this link which helps me to automate the execution of reskeymgmt commmand in windows xp and server 2003. The suggestion looks like:

rskeymgmt -e -f a:\backupkey\keys -p "password" < "C:\Yes.txt"

But when i move to windows server 2008, this tip won't work because the command prompts the confirmation in another console.

Does anyone knows a trick to fix this issue in windows server 2008?

Thanks.

Per here,

You could try using a pipe:

echo Y | rskeymgmt [parameters]
