Exchange 2010 on Windows Server 2008 R2 -

Question

I tried to install MS Exchange 2010 on Windows Server 2008 R2. The installation went fine i.e. the wizard went through the process successfully.

Now when I run the get-exchangeserver inside the EMS get the following error. Any help will be highly appreciated.

PS C:\Users\administrator.ROOT> Get-ExchangeServer
The term 'Get-ExchangeServer' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, 
script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was
included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Answer 1

More of a server thing I'd say, in any case...

Anonymous: Chances are you're running the script from a PowerShell prompt, instead of the Exchange Management Shell. Run the script from EMS and it should work.

Happy admin stuff.

I figured it was the IIS the stopped due to conflict with protocols. it kept shutting it down for some weird reason it is when i stopped sharepoint web service when it started working.

Have you rebooted after the installation finished?
