Managing Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange installations remotely

From a single Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange installation you can manage all of the Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange installations in your enterprise.

Before you begin

To remotely manage systems, Microsoft Windows PowerShell Version 3.0 is required. The Windows PowerShell software must be installed and enabled on all Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange installations that you want to manage. For information about downloading, installing, and enabling Windows PowerShell, see this web page: Microsoft Windows Management Framework 3.0 Downloads.

Enable remote management for Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange installations by issuing the following command:

This command enables remote management in most environments. If you use Microsoft Exchange, complete the following steps:
1. On the primary system, issue the following command:
```
