With the below code I did successful powershell queries against my Exchange 2010 server for many weeks now. Last night the Ex2010 Service Pack 2 was installed and since then it does not work anymore.
See the exception below. It looks to me that the SP changed something with security and remote access. I have already tried several combinations of wsman Authentication method and parameters, but only got some -different- error messages.
Also tried search the forum and Googling, but no luck, there are some comments out there, but seems a lot about guessing and assumptions or different scenarios.
The code needs to run remotely, both computers are members in same domain, and the code shall use the security credentials of the user account of which it is running on. The user account has full administrative privileges on both the local and the Exchange
computer.
Any idea and sample code how to solve that, would be highly welcome!
Many thanks!
