Sambhav Pandey 1

Hi,

I want to run exchange cmdlets on exchange management shell (on client computer). Will it require PS remoting to be enabled on the Exchange Server machine?

Thanks,
Sambhav

Hi @Sambhav Pandey ,
Did you installed the Exchange management shell on client computer?

If you install the Exchange management shell, according to my test, you could directly open EMS and run Exchange cmdlets. In addition, please make sure that the computer where you install Exchange Management Shell meets the system requirements of the corresponding Exchange version and has installed the required prerequisites.
For more information: Exchange Server PowerShell (Exchange Management Shell) and Exchange Server prerequisites

2.If not, you could following steps to connect to Exchange server using remote Powershell:

Open the Windows Powershell on client computer, then run the following command and enter your credential: $UserCredential = Get-Credential

2) Run the following commands and then you could run the Exchange cmdlet in Powershell:

$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri http://<ServerFQDN>/PowerShell/ -Authentication Kerberos -Credential $UserCredential Import-PSSession $Session -DisableNameChecking

3) When you are finished using, please remember to run the following command line to disconnect, instead of closing the powershell window directly:

Remove-PSSession $Session

Below screenshot is my test in me lab environment:

@Lucas Liu-MSFT

So if I am running exchange management shell on my computer do I need to enable Powershell Remoting on Exchange Server Machine?

As because of some restrictions I do not want to enable PS remoting on Exchange server machine.

Hi @Sambhav Pandey ,
According to my test in my lab environment, I disable the Powershell remoting on Exchange server virtual machine. I could still run Exchange cmdlets on a virtual machine with the Exchange Management shell installed. So you don’t need to enable Powershell Remoting on Exchange Server Machine.
