i can't tell if the command is running successfully from cmd line because the screen goes away too fast..but the powershell errors

heres the wierd thing...the account i log into exchange server is a schema admin.  but i get errors when i try to install, so i "run as admin" and it allows me to install..just fails on the readiness
are you using an admin, or the original administrator built in account?
i am using a domain admin account to log in..but i just right click and "run as administrator"
