Mailbox commands do not work (Powershell)

Question

Hi,

I want to  change some calendar permissions, as I have many times before, but I get the following error message both for Set-MailboxFolderPermission and Get-Mailbox (replaced with x in the message below):

Get-Mailbox : The term 'Get-Mailbox' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

What can I do?

Answer 1

Are you connected to Exchange Online? You can easily verify with Get-PSSession. You can also check if the cmdlets have been downloaded to the temporary module via:

Get-Module tmp*

Answer 2

Hi, thanks

I am connected. This is what I get:

Answer 3

Well you dont have the module loaded. Did you run the 3rd cmdlet:

Import-PSSession $Session

as detailed here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj984289(v=exchg.160).aspx

This might also be due to restrictions on the PC you are running PowerShell on. Try running it as administrator.

Answer 4

Very embarrasssing ...

Thank you - somehow I had deleted the 3rd cmdlet from my "how-to" instructions ...

Solved my problem!
