Exchange 2010 console error

I've introduced a new Windows 2008 R2 DC into a network having one 2003 DC w/Exchange 2003 installed on it. Everything was fine for a while but after a few reboots I can no longer use the Exchange 2010 management console.

I get:  WinRM cannot process the request. The following error occured while using Kerberos authentication: The network path was not found.

My intent was to migrate everyone to the new server and remove the old one. I've migrated all the FSMO roles and mailboxes but the old server is still in the picture as a DC.

Also, I've already been through checking powershell in IIS. It may be note worthy that IUSR_NEWSERVER name doesn't exist. Just the IUSR_OLDSERVER name, but like I said, everything was working. Maybe an update applied during a reboot or something that made it stop working?
The result of the winrm get winrm/config/winrs is

    AllowRemoteShellAccess = true
    IdleTimeout = 180000
    MaxConcurrentUsers = 5
    MaxShellRunTime = 2147483647
    MaxProcessesPerShell = 15
    MaxMemoryPerShellMB = 150
    MaxShellsPerUser = 5

I can't find any problems, I'm missing something simple I just know it.
In my original post I forgot to mention that the new server is where I installed the Exchange 2010 Enterprise server software and migrated the mailboxes to. The Exchange Shell asks for FQDN of the server and after typing it in doesn't connect.
shave you tried to create a new management console from MMC and Exchange snap int to it and try again
Yes, but like I said, even the shell can't find the path. Outlook clients are working and the owa works fine. The system is sending and receiving emails but I can't manage the system. I'm sure this has to do with IIS in some way but I'm not seeing the problem. SO CONFUSED.
can you  try to re-install winrm and re-install the administrative tool using the setup
I'm not sure how to reinstall winrm. I've tried and I'm obviously not doing it right. I've tried finding it under features to no avail and also using winrm to delete the listener but I'm not doing that right cause it doesn't like the way I'm typing the address+transport.
Hi,

Does you have AVG installed on the server? If yes, then disbale it and try to open the Conolse.

Hope this works,
Shree
if the Exchange server is 2008 sp1 or sp2 then here is a link:

or:
Server Manager -> Features -> Add Features -> Scroll down to the bottom -> Check off Windows PowerShell Integrated Scripting Enviornment (ISE) -> Install
I can get into the management shell and the management console by not using the FQDN but instead specifying the hostname of the server only. Does this help? Here is the winrm config.

I've opened a Microsoft incident but won't here back from them for awhile. Being able to open the console helps though. Instead of listening for authentication at hostname.domain.com, it's listening only on the hostname. How do I fix this?
This article has the exact error I'm seeing but I can't figure out how to fix it.

Yea, I'm sure it's not a problem authenticating but addressing the server. Like I said, if instead of the FQDN (hostname.domain.com) I enter just the hostname it logs in just fine. It's like the FQDN is not associated with the WinRM config.

i tried this solution, but didn't work
Had the same issue with Exchange 2010 on SBS 2011.  Confirmed it was profile dependent by creating another admin profile -- it runs fine in alt admin profile.  However, in SBS 2011, this path cannot be located (to try reset):c:\Users\Administrator.domainname\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Exchange\RemotePowerShell
Searched for it to no avail.  Good news is that I can manage Exchange using the EMC in the alt. admin profile until it is figured out.
