psConnecttoExchange

This module allows you to specify required settings and then picks the best CAS server that fits those settings and imports a pssession. This allows you to run all exchange commands from you own PC.

As of version 1.2.5 it properly works with PS 5.1 and PS 7

Please note this module is sanitized from my environment

• You will need to open the .psm1 file and place in your own servers in the region below to make this work.

    $Servers = @(
                 [pscustomobject]@{name ="<exchange_server_name>.<domain>.com"	;Version = "Exchange 2016"; Region = "AM1"}
				 [pscustomobject]@{name ="<exchange_server_name>.<domain>.com"	;Version = "Exchange 2016"; Region = "AM1"}
				 [pscustomobject]@{name ="<exchange_server_name>.<domain>.com"	;Version = "Exchange 2016"; Region = "EM1"}
				 [pscustomobject]@{name ="<exchange_server_name>.<domain>.com"	;Version = "Exchange 2016"; Region = "EM1"}
				 [pscustomobject]@{name ="<exchange_server_name>.<domain>.com"	;Version = "Exchange 2016"; Region = "AP1"}
				 [pscustomobject]@{name ="<exchange_server_name>.<domain>.com"	;Version = "Exchange 2016"; Region = "AP1"}
                 [pscustomobject]@{name ="<exchange_server_name>.<domain>.com"	;Version = "Exchange 2019"; Region = "AM1"}
                 [pscustomobject]@{name ="<exchange_server_name>.<domain>.com"  ;Version = "Exchange 2019"; Region = "AM1"}
                 [pscustomobject]@{name ="<exchange_server_name>.<domain>.com"	;Version = "Exchange 2019"; Region = "EM1"}
                 [pscustomobject]@{name ="<exchange_server_name>.<domain>.com"	;Version = "Exchange 2019"; Region = "EM1"}
                 [pscustomobject]@{name ="<exchange_server_name>.<domain>.com"	;Version = "Exchange 2019"; Region = "AM1"}
                 [pscustomobject]@{name ="<exchange_server_name>.<domain>.com"	;Version = "Exchange 2019"; Region = "AP1"}
    )
