Exchange 2010 Management Shell Configuration
In order to install the Exchange 2010 Management Tools, insure your management machine of choice is 64-Bit; Exchange 2010 and its Management Tools are 64-Bit only
Specific information on pre-requisites and the install process can be located here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232090.aspx
The Self-Extracting software can be found here: Citcwin1.unt.ad.unt.edu\Software\MicroSoft\Server Products\Exchange\Exchange2010
You will need to install the Management Tools (Exchange 2010 with sp1) followed by SP1 Roll-up 3 (SP1Ru3v3) to match the version of Exchange 2010 running now.
After the install is done, there is one last configuration needed to run the Exchange 2010 Management Shell and get remote powershell access:
First, copy this RemoteEPS powershel script. This script configures the shell's connection location and imports the proper session and modules for your Management Shell. Save the new script somewhere on your local computer, making note of the path where you save it, and name it 'RemoteEMS.ps1'.
Next, create a new shortcut to Exchange Management Shell. Rename the new shortcut to 'Remote Exchange Management Shell', or anything else you prefer, to differentiate it from the original shortcut to Exchange Management Shell.
Right-click the new shortcut and select 'Properties'. Replace the section of the Target location with the following:
<Windows Powershell directory> -noexit -command ". '<Exchange 2010 Management tools directory>'; <path where you saved RemoteEMS.ps1>\RemoteEMS.ps1
Assuming you used 'C:\Program Data' as the save location for the ps1 file, and the default directories for Windows Powershell and the Exchange Management Tools install directories, the Target text would look like this:
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noexit -command ". 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server 2010\v14\bin\RemoteExchange.ps1'; C:\ProgramData\RemoteEMS.ps1
Finally Click OK to save the shortcut. When you double-click the Exchange Management Console icon on the desktop now, it launches the EMS.PS1 script during startup and routes properly into the remote powershell resources for Exchange 2010.
Remember to run the management shell with the appropriate account to insure you are able to edit the resources in your area.
