Hi Guys,

i'm trying to write a C# app that runs exchange PS commands (Get-mailbox and Get-MailboxStatistics)
When i'm testing within MS Visual Studio it works fine... but when i run it standalone i get an error:

"Cannot load Windows PowerShell snap-in Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin because of the following error: The t
ype initializer for 'Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.Globals' threw an exception."

any ideas?

Many Thanks,
Phil

Have you tried running the application under Administrative privileges?

Comment from OP:
yes, tried local admins, normal user and domain admins - it always says the same! :(

i'm using 32bit Windows 7, that only looks although it applied to Windows 2003.

Looks more like it applies to mixed 32/64 bit environments :)
