Unable to add-pssnapin microsoft.exchange.management.powershell.admin to powershell studio script

Running powershell v2 with exchange management console 2007 installed.

a powershell prompt shows the registered snapings:

PS P:\> get-pssnapin -registered | fl name
Name : Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin
Name : Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Powershell.Support

I can run exchange related commands from a powershell prompt, however, powershell studio 2012 doesnt seem to recognize the addin. In my _load method, I have 

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Powershell.admin

But get this when I run the script:

ERROR: Add-PSSnapin : No snap-ins have been registered for Windows PowerShell version 2.

Powershell studio is the trial version and running v2 as well.

Maybe some snappins do not load with the trial?

Solution

  • You problem may come from the fact that PrimalScript 2012 and PowerShell Studio 2012 are 32 bit executables.

    Have you got the two modes allowed in PowerShell Studio 2012 ?
