Since WMI has been removed from Exchange 2007 I'm assuming that our only bet on remote administration is through Windows PowerShell with the Exchange Management Shell (Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin snap-in). Is the EMSonly available if you download the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Management Tools http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6be38633-7248-4532-929b-76e9c677e802&displaylang=en ? That download is 700 megs! Is there anyway to just install Microsoft PowerShell and the Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin snap-in locally and have the Management Tools only installed server-side? If this is not possible, is there any other way to remotely administer Exchange 2007? TIA, lushdog

My apologies, I did not realize that we required the ESM for Exchange 200/2003 even when using only WMI. Have a nice day!
