ERROR: Unable to create powershell session.

[A-J-A]

Just testing and getting the error: Calling import-PowerShellSession ERROR: Unable to create powershell session. Any recommendation on fix or what to check?

[timmcmic]

Can you attach the log file?

thanks for the reply, BVC04.log

[timmcmic]

Certainly not very exciting.

Let's do this to test and make sure exchange is ready to go. Make sure you're not running this from the exchange management shell.

Open powershell

$cred = get-credential (use the exchange credential in the same format you specified)

$session = new-pssession -configuration microsoft.exchange -credential $cred -connectionURI https://exchangename/powershell (for example https://webmail.contoso.com/powershell) -authentication Basic -allowRedirection:$TRUE

Import-psSession $session

Does that work.

Hi Tim, it looks like the issues is due to the -connectionURI using https, this work $session = new-pssession -configuration microsoft.exchange -credential $cred -connectionURI http://ex13mb3.xmail.co.uk/powershell -Authentication Kerberos -allowRedirection:$TRUE

but changing to https has an error, is there a switch to use http?

[timmcmic]

There is not. Your servers should have self signed certs to the names - and I assume you have at least one server in the environment with a public certificate and a name - like webmail.contoso.com.

thank you for confirming, yes we have self signed and public cert added to Exchange,

[timmcmic]

If the public cert is added to exchange - and enabled for web services - you should be able to use whatever name would resolve to that.

If the name does not resolve in internal DNS - go ahead and put a host file entry in for it.
