Exchange Management Shell and Powershell not working
I just installed Exchange 2010 in a brand new Domain on a Windows 2008 Enterprise Server with SP2. Now when I open the exchange management shell or try to access the Queue Viewer via the Exchange Managment Console I get the following error and I can't
run any commands in the Exchange Management Shell or in the PowerShell.
The term 'D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\\bin\RemoteExchange.ps
1' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operabl
e program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify th
at the path is correct and try again.

I'm assuming this is SP1...Check to see if you have all these scripts in your bin folder and if not copy them there from the install media under \setup\serverroles\common:
CommonConnectFunctions.ps1
CommonConnectFunctions.strings.psd1
Connect-ExchangeServer-help.xml
ConnectFunctions.ps1
ConnectFunctions.strings.psd1
RemoteExchange.ps1
RemoteExchange.strings.psd1

Thanks that worked to get rid of the error messags, but when I try to run a command I still get this error:
Welcome to the Exchange Management Shell!
Full list of cmdlets: Get-Command
Only Exchange cmdlets: Get-ExCommand
Cmdlets that match a specific string: Help *<string>*
Get general help: Help
Get help for a cmdlet: Help <cmdlet name> or <cmdlet name> -?
Show quick reference guide: QuickRef
Exchange team blog: Get-ExBlog
Show full output for a command: <command> | Format-List
Tip of the day #25:
One benefit of the Exchange Management Shell is that cmdlets can output objects to the console. You can then manipulate
this output and organize it in interesting ways. For example, to get a quick view in tabular format, use Format-Table:
Get-Mailbox | Format-Table Name,Database,RulesQuota
VERBOSE: Connecting to VERBOSE: Connected to .

Hi ABMondrey,
You enter the cmdlet Get-OABVirtualDirectory -Identity "48688B16ESV1\OAB (Default Web Site)" -ExternalURL in the EMS manually?
Can you just run the Get-OABVirtualDirectory?
From the Technet, there is no parameter ExternalURL when you run the cmdlet:
Get-OABVirtualDirectory
