I am getting the following error when trying to connect to both my exchange servers.

New-PSSession : [ex2013-002.nafa.ca] Connecting to remote server ex2013-002.nafa.ca failed with the following error
message : No mapping for the Unicode character exists in the target multi-byte code page. For more information, see

EMS used to connect ok. I am not sure if there is any connection but Outlook was installed recently on the exchange server to enable mailbox level backups.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Steve,

Firstly, you cannot install Outlook with Exchange because they share certain dll files.

About the EMS question, I suggest we try rebuilding the powershell virtual directory. If it still does not work, check the application log for more referernce.

Thanks,
