Connect to Exchange 2007 Mailboxes with Exchange 2013 Management shell

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to use the Exchange 2013 Management Shell with the older version of Exchange 2007. When I run the console now it give me an error saying no exchange servers are available in the Active Directory site. When I use Exchange management shell for 2007 the errors do not appear. Wondering if the management shell is backwards compatible.


Thanks,

In general, use the EMS of the same version as the server you are administering.

No. your management shell MUST be the same roll-up version of exchange. I have applied updates and learned the hard way to block all updates that go beyond the server version you are running.

To this end, you can use the same installation media that was used to install your Exchange server "Provided you are hosting your own", just install the management console instead of the whole thing,
