How do I add the Exchange PowerShell module into a standard PowerShell session?

UPDATE 18/02/17

I’ve had a lot of people write and ask how you accomplish this same task for Exchange 2016.  I have confirmed and tested it myself, it is exactly the same process as for Exchange 2013.  See below.

Before you can run Exchange Powershell commands from a regular Powershell console, you need to do the following:

  • Install the Exchange Management Tools (if not already installed) from the Exchange installation media
  • Import the Exchange module into your Powershell session

 

The command to import the Exchange modules is different for each version – use the appropriate command below:

Exchange 2007

 

Exchange 2010

 

Exchange 2013 & 2016

    Hi Expert Kamal ,

    The Exchange module is supposed to load automatically when you start the Exchange Powershell, or require to run the command each time when open Powershell?

      The Exchange modules load automatically if you’re using the Exchange Management Shell. If you’re using standard PowerShell (or calling PowerShell from command-line) you will need to load in the modules on-top of the standard ones.

      Thank you Kamal

      A question:
      If you can not find the disk anymore, can you also download the Exchange Management Tools?
      I have not found it as a download yet.

      greeting
