Executing Exchange Powershell cmdlets and Active directory cmdlets on a single PowerShell

Exchange 2007, Powershell1 Comment

Many times we will have requirement to execute Exchange Comlets and Active Directory(Active Roles) cmdlets on a singlewindow. As we cannot execute exchange cmdlets in  AD shell and vice versa. We have to add snap in to the powershell to execute both cmdlets on a single shell.

1. Need to make sure both Exchange managelent tools and Quest Active role management shell for active directory has been isntalled on the machine
2. Create C:\ExchangeAd.ps1 file with following lines in it

 Add-PSSnapin Quest.ActiveRoles.ADManagement
 Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin

3. Open Windows powershell and type C:\exchangead.ps1 to add snapin to the windowspowershell. You can execute both the commands on the single shell
4. Or you can Cretae a bat file which contain follwing line and place into your desktop. For Easy accability

       C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noexit -command C:\ExchangeAd.ps1

5. You can also execute Quest snapin into Exchange powershell or Exchange snapin into Activeroles shell to execute other commands on the same window.
