Issue
The Exchange Pro is installed and the configuration runs perfectly but when I tried to access the admin portal it is prompting for authentication and never goes into the portal.
I have a problem in the command specified. This is the output of that command.
PS I:\ $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://oeg-exchsrv -Authenticatio
n Basic -Credential $UserCredential
[oeg-exchsrv] Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : The server certificate on the desti

The SSL certificate is signed by an unknown certificate authority. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troublesh

Solution
This error means that your Exchange 2010 server is using a self-signed certificate: “The SSL certificate is signed by an unknown certificate authority”
Exchange Pro encrypts its communications between it and the Exchange server. SSL requires a trusted certificate to be present on the Exchange server. Do you have an Exchange 2010 box in your environment with a certificate from a company like GoDaddy, Verisign or Thwate?
If not, you can start up an internal certificate server, and use that to deploy a valid certificate to the Exchange system.
Here are the steps required. Note this is only a guide, and may not be directly applicable to your systems: Correct Certificates on Exchange 2010 server
