Preparing to use Windows PowerShell cmdlets with Data Protection for Exchange Server

Data Protection for Exchange Server includes a set of Windows PowerShell cmdlets to help you manage Data Protection for Exchange Server components in your environment.

1. Log on to the system as an administrator.
2. From a Windows PowerShell command prompt, issue the following command:

   set-executionpolicy remotesigned

3. During installation of Data Protection for Exchange Server, the following Windows PowerShell modules are imported automatically from the TDPExchange folder.
   • FmModuleExc.dll
   • FmModuleMMC.dll
   If you wish to import the Windows PowerShell modules manually, from the Windows PowerShell command prompt, import modules, with the administrator credentials, as follows:
   1. Navigate to the TDPExchange folder.
   2. Issue the following commands:

      import-module .\FmModuleExc.dll
      import-module .\FmModuleMMC.dll

   3. (Optional) To use the cmdlets in these modules any time that you start Windows PowerShell, add the following lines to your profile. The following path is the default profile path.

        $path = (get-itemproperty -path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\IBM\TDPExchange\
      			currentversion\mmc" -ea SilentlyContinue).path
        if ($null -ne $path)
        {
          dir "$path\fmmodule*.dll" | select -expand fullname | import-module 
      				-force -Global
        }
