Opening Management Shell

You can open the Management Shell by using either of the following procedures. Each procedure loads the Management Shell snap-in into Windows PowerShell. If you do not load the Management Shell snap-in before you run a command (cmdlet) provided by that snap-in, you will receive an error.

  1. Click Start.
  2. Point to All Programs | Quest | Recovery Manager for Exchange.
  3. Click Management Shell.

On the Apps screen (Windows logo key + Q), click the Management Shell tile.

Upon the shell start, the console may display a message stating that a certain file published by Quest is not trusted on your system. This security message indicates that the certificate the file is digitally signed with is not trusted on your computer, so the console requires you to enable trust for the certificate issuer before the file can be run. Either press R (Run once) or A (Always run). To prevent this message from appearing in the future, it is advisable to choose the second option (A).
