Hi,
We have some custom requirement where we are looking for Exchange 2007/2010 powershell command/admin console to manage the Exchange setup which is installed in different forest.
Ex: I have a work station in Domain A and wanted manage the exchange setup which is in Domain B and all together its a different forest and exchange setup in different forest.
Do we have some solution like AD Trust relationship etc ? to manage the remote forest Exchange setup ?
Pls guide me and let me know if any more details required.Regards:Mahesh

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your revert and will check this option really...
Does this work for Exchange 2007 as well ?

Hi
According to recent post, it doesn't work for exchange 2007.
The problem is, exchange 2007 did not install the PowerShell virtual directory in IIS.
There will be no IIS virtual directory for powershell if you are working with Exchange 2007.

Instead the url looks like http(s)://machine:[5985|5986]/wsman.
But user still meets other problems.
You can read this case about it.

Hi Mahesh,
Can you try to run the command without the "-Authentication Negotiate " and test to see if you can initiate the session?
