    Get-ADPermission requires the Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell snapins, available with Exchange Server 2007 or above. You can use the Add-PSSnapin cmdlet to add them.

    It seems that you don't have Exchange admin tools installed on this machine. Install the tools and then try to import the snap-in.

    Is this not related to role delegation? I thought that adding permissions through roles caused this

    Hello,

    I had similar problem, get same messages when I use "Add-ADpermission" and "Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin". I dno't know how to verify if the exchange admin tools had installed or not, but I can use "Get-ADPermission".

    PS, the exchange management shell wes running as administrator.

    thanks.
