It would be cool if I could connect to the Exchange server from within Powershell on my PC and run commands to configure Exchange properties - just tried to run a Get-CASMailbox command from my PC but sadly it does not recognise this command so I need to run it directly on the server- anyoneknow if its possibleto do this?ta, Brian.

Why not? see below http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2007/management-administration/managing-exchange-server-2007-using-windows-xp-workstation.htmlVinod |CCNA|MCSE 2003 +Messaging|MCTS|ITIL V3|

Yes, it sounds like you don't have the management tools installed and are attempting to run Exchange commands from the powershell directly. Shanu

No, actually I do have the Exchange Managment tools installed.However, the Powershell version Iwas trying to use was Windows Powershell 1.0andI now realise there was a shortcut to EMS in the Start Menu folder where EMC lives - DOH!cheers, Brian.
