Management Shell

About Management Shell

Recovery Manager for Exchange Management Shell, built on Microsoft Windows PowerShell technology, provides a command-line interface that enables automation of Recovery Manager for Exchange administrative tasks.

The Management Shell command-line tools (cmdlets), like Windows PowerShell cmdlets, are designed to deal with objects—structured information that is more than just a string of characters appearing on the screen. The cmdlets do not use text as the basis for interaction with the system, but use an object model that is based on the Microsoft .NET platform. In contrast to traditional, text-based commands, the cmdlets do not require the use of text-processing tools to extract specific information. Rather, you can access required data directly by using standard Windows PowerShell object manipulation commands.

For the permissions required to use the Management Shell, see Required permissions. Before installing the Management Shell feature, make sure your computer meets the system requirements described in the Recovery Manager for Exchange Release Notes.
