Can't add Snapin

[dady]

Hi all,

I have a new computer and i can’t run the a script i use to run on my old one.
I get an error message

PS F:> Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.SnapIn;
Add-PSSnapin : No snap-ins have been registered for Windows PowerShell version 5.
At line:1 char:1

• Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.SnapIn;

•   + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (Microsoft.Excha...werShell.SnapIn:String) [Add-PSSnapin], PSArgumentException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : AddPSSnapInRead,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.AddPSSnapinCommand
  

I have searched everywhere with no luck. I hope i will find here the solution.

I already set the "ExecutionPolicy " to “RemoteSigned”

Here are the “Old” computer details:
Win 10 pro version 1809 Build 17763.1577
PS version 5.1.17763.1490

New computer details:
Win 10 pro version 20H2 build 19042.1466
PS version 5.1.19041.1320

Any help will be appreciated.

What problem do you try to solve actually? We actually do not use snapins anymore. On an on premisses Exchange server you can launch an Exchange management shell with launchems. If you want to manage an Exchange server remotely you should use implicit remoting to use the Exchange cmdlets.

I believe you can still access older exchange with newer tools. There is also an unsupported remote exchange setup script you can find on the internet. I believe I even posted it as an answer on this very forum, I’ll try to find it.

Running Get-ExchangeCertificate using a remote session.

I am writing a PowerShell script to take an automated backup of the Exchange environment. In the process of doing that i need to run “Get-ExchangeCertificate | select Thumbprint, Services, CertificateDomains” and get “certificate domains” and other fields from an Exchange 2016 Environment. If I run this command via the “Exchange management shell” the command works fine and displays the “certificate domains”. But If I were run PowerShell and connect to the on-premises environment (New-PSSessi…

Edit
Looks like that script was on Technet. Thank goodness for the internet archive!
