Or maybe you are curious to find out just what this ??? shell thing ???
does. Either way, learning how to use Exchange Management Shell is essential for any Exchange
administrator. For those of you that still may need some convincing, here are some points to consider:
Exclusive Operations: Many operations available in Exchange Management Shell are not
included in Exchange Management Console; therefore you are forced to use the shell. In these
situations you have no other choice.
Bulk Operations: Many of the operations available in the Exchange Management Console are
singular, in other words you can take action on only one object at a time. Large organizations
needing to perform changes to thousands of objects on a regular basis know that bulk
operations save time and lessen the chance of operator error. Using the pipeline to pass objects
from one cmdlet to another in Exchange Management Shell provides a quick and easy method
for taking action on any number of objects from the command line.
Automation: Exchange Management Console provides no way for automating even simple
operations. Scripts run from the Exchange Management Shell ensure consistent results and can
be used to work out complex administrative tasks.
Just how deeply you need to learn Exchange Management Shell depends a lot on your responsibilities.
