How to get remote server variable using remote shell?
Hi, Guys I use remote shell to manage an Exchange server. After executed following cmdlet, I import the server-side PowerShell session into my workstation's session $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri http://exchangerserver/PowerShell/ -Authentication Kerberos Import-PSSession $Session I can execute Exchange cmdlet. That's Ok. Now I need to get a variable of Ex server $env:USERDNSDOMAIN. But I just get my workstation's variable. So, how can I get remote server variable using remote shell? Regards, Kaneabell

Have you tried "invoke-command"? --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Hi Kaneabell, please define your New-PSSessionOption and see if the parameter below is no set. This parameter will prevent to load the Environment VARS. -NoMachineProfile Prevents loading the user's Windows user profile. As a result, the PSSession might be created faster, but user-specific registry settings, items such as environment variables, and certificates are not available in the PSSession.
