Server 2008 or Server 2008 R2? You must have Server 2008 R2 for the AD module.

RE: powershell profile & modules
Yes, you are correct that remoting needs to have the cmdlets on the remote end. I replied too quickly without giving it enough thought. It does bring up an interesting test I may try some day: remote to an endpoint, and then remote back again from ...

RE: powershell profile & modules
If you can't install this software elsewhere, then you may be able to use a trick like making sure to mount your local drives in remote RDP sessions, then you would still have to have a profile on the remote server that is able to use those mounted ...

RE: format-list ---> gridview
You simply cannot pipe format-table to out-gridivew, do this instead: $certs = dir cert:\CurrentUser\Root $certs | Out-Gridview or $certs = dir cert:\CurrentUser\Root|Select-Object * $certs | Out-Gridview

RE: Catching PathTooLongException
Yes, I never noticed that behaviour... How about removing the trap completely, and just going with: Get-ChildItem \\server\share -Recurse -ErrorVariable err $err[0], etc. will contain information on each error.

RE: Catching PathTooLongException
Try changing to this: Get-ChildItem \\server\share -Recurse -ErrorAction Stop If the error is non-terminating, a try/catch won't see it. The above forces all errors to be terminating, so try/catch can work.

Well, you can, but you'd have a long road ahead of you. If you can't install anything, then likely, you can't install this either: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=5124 That's an SDK that you could load and us ...

RE: Exchange 2010 powerpack
http://www.powergui.org is the best place for PowerGUI support. For Exchange 2010, you need to install the Exchange 2010 management tools on the system where you are trying to run this PowerPack.

RE: code works interactive but not from PS1 script?
If you've described exactly what you're doing, this does appear strange. Check out the help for start-transcript, and add "start-transcript" to the beginning of your script and "stop-transcript" to the end to see if anything is captured.

RE: Trap scope
I'd have to see your code with the global in it to comment on that. The "script" scope is defined here: PS> help about_scopes The global scope is "bigger" than the script scope. The script scope only lives as long as the script is being run.
