Vista - exchange 2003 with powershell

i understand exchange 2007 supports powershell, but i m still using
exchnage 2003.

Can i use powershell to perform admin tasks on exchange 2003 ?

proper class exits...

What are you looking to do exactly?

You can also use the Quest AD cmdlets if you need to do something AD related
on Exchange 2003 AD objects.

Some of the Exchange 2007 cmdlets will work against Ex 2003 servers if you
have a mixed environment

Even if you've never used PowerGUI, Dmitry does a good job of putting a
lot of Exchange 2003 WMI information in one blog post.

I do not have access to exchange boxes as it is outsourced.

However i have domain admin permission to view exchange boxes.

Must i run powershell *AT* the physical exchange box or i can run remotely
from xp machine ? I m using powehell ver 1.0

IT Staff wrote:OK, the link I provided you provides information about get-wmiobject and
Exchange 2003 WMI classes.

You can use get-wmiobject from your local computer with PowerShell
installed to do a remote WMI query to a Exchange 2003 server.

If I remember correctly though, there may be problems with PowerShell,
WMI and passing alternate credentials.

Now, if your Exchange 2003 is outsourced, unless you have some kind of
secure connection to the system, it is likely that remote WMI calls
(that uses RPC over TCP) will likely be blocked by firewalls that
separate you.
