Enable Exchange Remote Powershell access for non-admin
Steps I've taken:
- I gave a limited domain user the "Recipient Management" role to create RemoteMailbox objects.
- I added this user to the "Remote Management" local group on the Exchange Server.
The command to create the powershell session (
New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri "https://$ExchangeServerDns/PowerShell/"
$session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri http://Exchangeserver_FQDN/powershell -Credential (Get-Credential)
Import-PSSession $session
Try it like this
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
$UserCredential = Get-Credential
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri http://$ExchangeServerDns/PowerShell/ -Authentication Kerberos -Credential $UserCredential
Import-PSSession $Session -DisableNameChecking

I am doing this as part of a script and would prefer not to put credentials in the script if I can avoid it.
New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri "https://$ExchangeServerDns/PowerShell/" -Credential $ExOnPremCreds -Authentication Kerberos -ErrorAction Stop;
