How can the following error be resolved when trying to connect to an Exchange server via PowerShell from a Mac/Linux machine? (working fine from windows machine though)

"New-PSSession: [<exchangeserver.domain>] Connecting to remote server <exchangeserve.domain> failed with the following error message: MI_RESULT_FAILED. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic."

Additionally, I am unable to locate the troubleshooting document or any information on the MI_RESULT_FAILED error.

Could you provide guidance on this issue?

    There were multiple reports of problems using WSMAN on non-Microsoft machines years ago, and support for WSMAN on those machines was dropped (refer to the last post in this thread): https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/5130

    There's a replacement for the WSMAN here: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PSWSMan/2.3.1
