I eventually found out how to run "get-user" via exchange powershell and the result was "true"
So, now after a day or geeking around just to find out my account "officially" does have the rights to run commands in Exchange Powershell, I'm still left with this error from EMTshooter:
- The user account that is attempting to connect is not Remote PowerShell
enabled. To check if a user is enabled for Remote PowerShell, you need to open
the Exchange Management Shell with an account that has been enabled,
and run the following query:
(Get-User <username>).RemotePowershellEnabled
This will return a True or False. If the output shows False,
the user is not enabled for Remote PowerShell. To enable the user,
run the following command:
Set-User <username> -RemotePowerShellEnabled True
All this is just to figure out why I'm getting the dreaded "HTTP server error status (500)" when I try and run Exchange Management Console.
None of the solutions available for EMC have helped, although I did find out that WINRM wasn't running and fixed it:
(winrm is running; all ports are open; all paths are correct; all environment variables are correct; IIS is running and listening on port 80)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
