    @%windir%\sysnative\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -inputformat none -command


    ". 'c:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\bin\RemoteExchange.ps1'; Connect-

    Troubleshooting
    1. Error “The term 'c:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange
    Server\V14\bin\RemoteExchange.ps1' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet,
    function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path
    was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.” means that the exchange
    management tools were not installed properly. Verify that the installation was
    successful and that the path c:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange
    Server\V14\bin\RemoteExchange.ps1 exists on the eyeShare server.

    2. In case you get the error “The term '<command>' is not recognized as the name of a
    cmdlet….” make sure that the Exchange Snap-ins are installed by running this command
    from the command line:

    C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe Get-PSsnapin

    In case there isn’t any Exchange Snap-ins installed, run this command:

    add-PSSnapIn *ex*
