Hi Everybody,

For some reason my Exchange 2013 SP1 cu8 are missing a bunch of cmdlets.

When i run the exchange powershell and get all the cmdlet command - i noticed all the send and receive connectors are missing.

This all started when i needed to change the smart host port for a client because their internet provider was blocking port 25.

So i did the traditional cmdlet

Get-SendConnector

Set-SendConnector -Indentity "connector name" -Port 551

Both commands i get "The term Get-SendConnector is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, etc"

When i type Get-ExCommand

Any reference to SendConnector and ReceiveConnector are not on the list.

Am I missing somethings?  This is a classic example why GUI and cmdlet functions should both be available and not just on cmdlets.

I went on other Exchange 2013 SP1 cu7 servers to see, and they all have the Send and Receive connectors in the cmdlets.

The only difference with this particular setup, is that this is the first Exchange 2013 on-premise installation with Windows 2012 r2 Small Business Essentials.  However, i very much doubt the on-premise installation add-on to SBS would cause any issues to missing cmdlets.

I searched all over the internet and found nothing.

Now my biggest fear is to re-install Exchange and import the mailboxes manually.

Any help is greatly apprec
