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

You need to download and install the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Management Tools (32-Bit):

Thanks for the link....is there not one thats compatible with Exchange 2003?

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:

And, add the PowerGUI Exchange 2003 Power Pack:

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

Many thanks Karl and Marco for the links and advice, I'm having a play with the Exchange 2003 Power Pack now.

Hi friends

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin

Please help me

Thanks in advance

I am running exchange 2010

and trying to use TSM for Mail to backup.

when i open the TSM Gui

i get the error
The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin' is not installed on this machine.

How do i download and install?

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.

i already have the tools installed..

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:

I'd really talk to IBM and see about getting a working backup soloution though.... Or see what their support says

Karl

Never mind, found the error, wrong instance was being called (x86).

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....
