The CD command is not working under the Windows PowerShell
I receive the following error message: PS C:\> cd /Program Files Set-Location : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'Files'. At line:1 char:3 + cd <<<< /Program Files + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-Location], ParameterBindingException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetLocationCommand

Why don't you use tab completion? If you were, then you would see that the command would be: cd '.\Program Files' (because of the space between program and files) ..but less typing with tab completion :) Martina Miskovic - http://www.nic2012.com/

It's because I'm a PowerShell Beginner and was not aware that I needed to use '.\Program Files' when there is a space between the command. I'm trying to install the Anti-Spam Agents. Here is what I get: PS C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Scripts> ./install-AntispamAgents.ps1 The term 'get-transportserver' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. C heck the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Scripts\install-AntispamAgents.ps1:15 char:39 + $transportserver = get-transportserver <<<< -id $localservername + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (get-transportserver:String) [], CommandNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException Failed to find the Transport server: MSWLMX PS C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Scripts>Alfred Aragon IT Consultant

Hi, tab completion is very handy. You need to start Exchange Managment Shell (EMS) so that the Exchange cmdlets is loaded and run the script ./install-AntispamAgents.ps1 Martina Miskovic - http://www.nic2012.com/

Just to confirm, the script ./install-AntispamAgents.ps1 needs to be executed from the Exchange Managment Shell (EMS) and NOT the Windows PowerShellAlfred Aragon IT Consultant
