Because this book is
about Exchange Management Shell it may seem strange to cover the console interface at all. Actually,
understanding the organization of the Exchange Management Console is very helpful for understanding
the organization of Exchange Management Shell cmdlets.
Exchange cmdlets are organized into groups based on how they are used. Exchange Management Shell ??™ s
command - line interface lacks a method for providing a visual representation of its command
organization. Because Exchange Management Console is based on Exchange cmdlets, its visual
arrangement of management elements actually represents the underlying cmdlet organization that
cannot be represented in the shell. By learning this structure, you learn the basic organization of
Exchange cmdlets.
Exchange Cmdlet Sets
Exchange Management Shell provides more than 500 cmdlets for administering your Exchange
organization. Because Exchange Management Shell lacks the hierarchical command interface found in
Exchange Management Console, you may find it easier to manage cmdlets by thinking of them as being
organized into sets that share some commonality.
Chapter 1 discussed using the Get-Help cmdlet to find other cmdlets and learn how to use them. The
Get-Help cmdlet includes the Role parameter that allows you to retrieve cmdlets grouped by the
Exchange Server role with which they are used.
