Exchange Management Shell Broken after Quest ActiveRoles Management Shell for Active Directory installed
We installed the Quest ActiveRoles Management Shell for Active Directory 1.5.1 on our terminal server and suddenly our Exchange Management Shell is broken with this error:
==========================================================

==========================================================
We have since uninstalled the Quest add-in but with no success....
Our environment is as follows:
We have 1 root domain and 2 sub domains (Site A and B).
Site A: Exchange 2003
Site B: Exchange 2010
Our terminal server (Site A, Ex 2k3) is managing Exchange 2010 on Site B. This worked flawlessly prior to the quest install. Please help
Thanks in advance...SMGrow
