Exchange Management Shell not opening in Exchange Server 2019 on Windows Server 2019
I am experiencing the same problem with Exchange 2016 on Server 2016 on a child domain. My root domain is running Exchange 2016 and I had no issues when I migrated from 2010 to 2016. When I install a new Exchange 2016 (CU 13) server in the child domain I have run into this problem you are describing for 2019 editions respectively.
Did yo manage to find a solution/cause for your issue?
Hi Matt_B010,
Can you try to run "Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted" in PowerShell in Run As Administrator and after run Exchange Powershell in Run Ad Administrator as well ?
- Tried that yesterday and it didn't work either.
- I just want to add a "Me too" here. I had this error on a new Exchange 2019 server. 3 servers were deployed, but only 1 exhibited this error. Uninstall / reinstall of Exchange fixed the problem.
Solved.
Turns out there was a GPO in the child domain being applied at a higher precedence that had over written the Default Domain controllers policy under,
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\ Manage auditing and security log was missing the "Exchange Servers" group.
Added the group, ran gpupdate and the Exchange Management Shell now connects.
Thanks for the quick replies.
- Tried that too and it didn't work.
