You can use the help command to get any cmdlets Get-Help New-Mailbox Get-Help Set-Mailbox

You must have Exchange Management Shell installed to use the cmdlets. If you are only looking for the cmdlets you can see them in the Exchange help file.

I don't actually have the cmdlets installed, so was wondering where I can get them? I've had a good old look on the web, but the only thing I can find really is the Exchange Management Tools. Is this the only option? I mean, can I not just install the appropriate libraries? Robbie.

You can get the "EMS" by installing the Exchange Admin Tools. You'll be able to use the Exchange install media and I believe you can even download the admin tools online. You need the appropriate access permissions. Are you using PowerShell v1 or v2? If the client and server are using v2, you may be able to use PowerShell remoting, which is basically built-in with Exchange 2010.

Hi Marco - sorry for only replying now. We are using an earlier exchange domain, so completely non-powershell. I'm only posting in case any other folks are having the same troubles. Basically, only 2010 (I think) at the moment is PS compliant and trying to use powershell on the older versions will not work, unless you upgrade your entire exchange, which will not happen in most circumstances. In my case on this thread, I used powershell to create the users and VB to create their mailboxes... It's unfortunate that Microsoft has cut PS off from earlier versions. But money talks I guess!

Exchange 2007 fully supports powershell as well as 2010, but you are correct that exchange 2003 does not.

You can use PowerGUI and the Exchange 2003 PowerPack: http://powergui.org/kbcategory.jspa...egoryID=47 Karl

in response to the question :- Are you using PowerShell v1 or v2? If the client and server are using v2, you may be able to use PowerShell remoting, which is basically built-in with Exchange 20 How to find out if the server is using v2?

From a PowerShell window, type "$psversiontable". That will only work on v2, so if you see output, you're running v2. You may want to start this thread over: You've sort of "hickjacked" the thread, and I don't know what you're really looking for...
