Exchange Powershell - How to invoke Exchange 2010 module from inside script?

Question

I\'m writing a script that does a number of things with AD and Exchange and just got to the part of the GUI where I need to start working with Exchange but don\'t see where

Answer 1

You can do this:

add-pssnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010

and most of it will work (although MS support will tell you that doing this is not supported because it bypasses RBAC).

I've seen issues with some cmdlets (specifically enable/disable UMmailbox) not working with just the snapin loaded.

In Exchange 2010, they basically don't support using Powershell outside of the the implicit remoting environment of an actual EMS shell.
