I think I'm missing something simple here...I read a number of articles that say to load the exchange management snapin to powershell I should run: Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin This just returns an error: AddSnapin: The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin' is not installed on this machine. I've also tried 'get-pssnapin' and 'get-pssnapin - registered' but no mention of Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin Is this snapin something I have to download and install? Any info would be great. Many thanks Mehds

You need to download and install the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Management Tools (32-Bit): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...laylang=en

No, this functionality is not available for Exchange 2003. PowerShell support was only added as of Exchange 2007. You can however use PowerShell to manage Exchange 2003, but must use something like WMI to interact with Exchange.

You can download the free PowerGUI: http://powergui.org/index.jspa And, add the PowerGUI Exchange 2003 Power Pack: http://www.powergui.org/entry.jspa?...egoryID=47 Karl

Yes, PowerGUI will help with automation. It uses WMI under the covers for Exchange 2003...

You have to get the entire Exchange 2010 install ISO image and install only the administration tools. PS You should start a new thread if you have questions.

Exchange 2010 does not provide a snap-in named 'Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin'. Exchange 2010 provides the "Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010" and "Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Powershell.Support" snap-ins. See if this helps: http://tsmclinic.blogspot.com/2010/...ge_22.html I'd really talk to IBM and see about getting a working backup soloution though.... Or see what their support says Karl

The 64 bit tools are installed from the Exchange 2007 DVD or .ISO file. Note that you need to be running Exchange Server 2007 SP3 or better to have the tools supported on Windows 7.... Karl

See my post from 21 July 2011 - there is NO snap-in named "Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin" provided with Exchange 2010. Search (BING or Google) Remote Exchange 2010 Management... Karl

You should also pay attention to the important announcement on the top of the page :) Also, while I am at it, since you have the Exchange Management tools loaded, why not use the Exchange Management Shell? Karl

Hi Karl, Thanks for your reply. :) It was a typo in my last post. I didn't mean "Admin Snap-in", actually I am looking for "Setup Snap-in". I have to install few performance counters from Exchange setup but for which first I need to load Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Powershell.Setup snap-in. But whenever I am trying to run Add-PSSnapin command I am getting error saying "Add-PSSnapin : The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Powershell.setup' is not installed on this machine." . I checked same command on another server having same configuration and same role where it runs successfully. When I check both servers by running command Get-PSSnapin -Registered I received three snapin on second machine which includes "Setup" snapin while the affected machine returns just two and "Setup" snapin is missing. Please help as I am lost from here :( Thanks in Advance.
