    Goal: Remotely Modify Forwarding Address of Termed User

    I have started to write a script that gathers the following variables: 1) user's mailbox to modify and 2) the email address of the user to forward the mail to

    I then import the Microsoft Exchange session and run the following command: Get-Mailbox -Identity $sAMAccountName | Set-Mailbox -DeliverToMailboxAndForward:$False -ForwardingAddress $adUser_mail

    The $sAMAccountName is the termed user's ID and the $adUser_mail is the email of the person to forward the mail to. When I run this remotely, I get the following response: WARNING: The command completed successfully but no settings of 'domain.com/company/testUserAccount' have been modified. After checking the testUserAccount nothing is modified

    When I go onto the Exchange server and run the command directly into the Exchange Management Shell, it works fine...

    How can I get this ti run correctly from a remote machine?

    Well, since you've asked you question in a forum for Exchange releases prior to Exchange 2010, I'd say that you need to install the Exchange Management Tools on the machine you're running the script on.

    Sorry, for the wrong forum post.... I am running Windows 7 64bit. The version of Exchange is 2010 and the server is 2008R2.

    I will try your suggestion and repost results.

    I was able to get the script to work using the Exchange Management Shell on my Windows 7 machine. 

    I guess that does qualify for my goal, but I hoping to get this to work using just the standard Powershell v2/v3 that is installed by default just by importing the Exchange module.... This way we don't have to install the extra programs on every helpdesk machine....

    If there is a way to get this to work using the standard Powershell, I would prefer this, but if not, I guess this will have to do...

    There are prerequisites before installing the management tools.
