Getting Started in PowerShell for Microsoft Exchange 2013 – 2019.

This page assumes the user is remotely managing mailbox servers from their own desktop PowerShell sessions.

Import a session – note the bold “MBX1” in the code below – insert your exchange mailbox server here. It is also important to note that when using this command, only use http, not https as the parameter ‘-connectionuri’ requires http.

import-session (new-session -configurationname Microsoft.Exchange -connectionuri http://MBX1/powershell)

To use more than one session, add the phrase “-allowclobber”

import-session -allowclobber (new-session -configurationname Microsoft.Exchange -connectionuri http://MBX1/powershell)

You can now run Exchange Server commands as though you are at the box itself, mostly. *
