Remote Powershell errors

PowerShell Help
1

I’m working on a remote powershell script. I can get the powershell to work with a basic Get-Host, but when I try add the Exchange Snapin I get errors.

Invoke-Command -ConnectionUri http://RemoteServer:5985/wsman -ScriptBlock { Get-Host} -credential domain\login

The above works correctly

When I attempt this code:
Invoke-Command -ConnectionUri http://RemoteServer:5985/wsman -ScriptBlock {C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -PSConsoleFile “C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\bin\exshell.psc1” -noexit -command “. ‘C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\bin\Exchange.ps1’” Get-Host} -credential domain\login

This is the errors I’m getting from the above script.
Exception setting “ViewEntireForest”: "An Active Directory error 0x80072030 occ
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (Exception setti… 0x80072030 occ:String) , RemoteExcep
tion
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError

urred while searching for domain controllers in domain server.com: There is no such object on the server.

"

At C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\bin\Exchange.ps1:19 char:32

  • $global:AdminSessionADSettings. <<<< ViewEntireForest = $false

    • CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:slight_smile: , RuntimeException

    • FullyQualifiedErrorId : PropertyAssignmentException

Any ideas on what I can do to get this script working?

You will get errors doing it this way
Remoting against Exchange is an odd beast - it doesn’t work in the same way as normal PowerShell remoting

You need to create a session against the Exchange endpoint. This gives you a restricted & constrained endpoint eg can’t use filters 'cos use of literals is not allowed.

You need to import the session - then you can work with the Exchange cmdlets as if they were local

The remote server has Exchange Server 2007 not 2010. Not sure if that is part of my issue.
