C#, Powershell, and Exchange
-
If this is the wrong place to post this question, please move it. There's lots of overlap, so I wasn't sure where to put it. Background: I'm trying to write a simple web application in C# that utilizes the Exchange Management Shell (EMS, 2007), which is itself a Windows Powershell snapin. I found a nice wrapper at here[^], which is what I'm using thus:
public void AD_SetForwardAddress()
{
//Initialize the ExchangeManagementShellWrapper
ExchangeManagementShellWrapper ems = ExchangeManagementShellWrapper.Instance;
ICollection<PSObject> results;//Use the RunspaceInvoke command with a command string results = ems.RunspaceInvoke("Get-Command"); foreach (PSObject item in results) { Response.Write(item.Members\["Name"\].Value.ToString()); }}
... which yeilds
Server Error in '/' Application.

System.Management.AutomMy two cents: Certainly a privilieged account with exchange permission problem.
