Hi , Im new to Exchange Scripts & powershell, Im using Exchange management shell to run the simple commands like get-mailboxstatistics and saving them as xx.msh. I will run whenever it is required. . For this how powershell console.Are *.msh can be run in power shell console. And how to install the powershell in Exchange server. we are having only Exchange management shell is installed in our exchange servers.

Below link is how to run get-mailboxstatistics cmdlet http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124612(EXCHG.80).aspx You can save the powershell scripst with extention .ps1, if you want to schedule to run get-mailboxstattics, used your notepad and save below command as .ps1 Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin Get-MailboxStatistics <exchange server name> | Export-CSV C:\MailboxReport.csv Then create a bat file like below command: Powershell.exe -command "& {C:\pwdalert\MailboxStatistics.ps1 }" During exchange installation, the requirement is to install Windows Powershell, without it you can't proceed exchange installation. So, i not sure why you able to install Exchange server without Windows Powershell? Which OS are you running Exchange Server?It is Windows2003 or Windows2008. If you are running on Windows2008, you can install from "Add Feature" from Server Manager. However if running on Windows2003, please click in link to download Windows Powershell. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/technologies/management/powershell/download.mspx

Not sure why you are saving your commands in MSH files. you can save them in a PS1 file which can be run and PowerShell Env. MSH is Mash (The Microsoft Agent Scripting Helper). And regarding Powershell in Exchange servers, Exchange Management shell is built on Powershell and is a form of Powershel only with custom PSSnapins of Exchange command lets. it means apart from Powershell basic command lets it also include Exchange cmdlets which are provided by a PS Snapin (Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Powershell.Admin). If you want to run Plain Powershell without Exchange Cmdlets then Just open RUN diag box and type Powershell and click OK. That's you are in Powershell without any Powershell Custom PS Snapin loaded. hope you find this information helpful.
