The Exchange Server 2013 Preview has been out for a month or so and I’ve been trying it out in a lab environment. At the same time I’ve been working on some complex PowerShell scripts for the consulting gigs I am working on. As such I thought I would spend some time on the new PowerShell cmdlets that are available in the Exchange Server 2013 Preview.
For this article we will concentrate on the GET based cmdlets that have been introduced. First off, there are over 100+ new commands compared to Exchange Server 2010. To get a list of the GET based commands simply type in (in the Exchange Server Management Shell):
