Only Install Exchange Management Shell on x86 Client

[markdmac]

I'm creating a custom management program for local admins to manage Public Folders and to provision mailboxes in a very large environment.

My client side tool leverages PowerShell. After getting nearly done with the project the client has told me they don't want to install the full Exchange Tools for x86 on the client machines. So I need to be able to repackage JUST the Exchange Management Shell.

I know that I need the files:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\bin\exshell.psc1"
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\bin\Exchange.ps1"

I am wondering if there are DLLs I need to register or any other files from the BIN directory I would need at a minimum to give the client so the Management Shell will work.

So my question is: "What are the minimum files needed to get the Exchange Management Shell to run on a client after installing PowerShell 1.0?"

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Haven't tried it myself but i think you just need the pssnapin for exchange.

Right, but...what files does that entail if a machine does nto have the Exchange tools installed? I need to copy any files to that machine.

I hope you find this post helpful.

I have verified that from a regular PowerShell window I can type add-pssnapin *.exchange* and that will allow me to then execute whatever Exchange commands I want.

Anybody know which files are required to register the Exchange Snapin?

I need to be able to setup a new system with just the required files.

If anyone knows, please provide a list. Thanks.
