Hello All,

I am trying to run exchange server 2010 monitoring commands using C#. Here is my code...

C#

string password = "abc123"; 
string userName = @"me.com\Administrator";
System.Uri uri = new Uri("http://192.168.1.194/powershell?serializationLevel=Full");
System.Security.SecureString securePassword = String2SecureString(password);
System.Management.Automation.PSCredential creds = new System.Management.Automation.PSCredential(userName, securePassword);
Runspace runspace = System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace();
PowerShell powershell = PowerShell.Create();
PSCommand command = new PSCommand();
command.AddCommand("New-PSSession");
command.AddParameter("ConfigurationName", "Microsoft.Exchange");
command.AddParameter("ConnectionUri", uri);
command.AddParameter("Credential", creds);
command.AddParameter("Authentication", "Default");
PSSessionOption sessionOption = new PSSessionOption();
sessionOption.SkipCACheck = true;
sessionOption.SkipCNCheck = true;
sessionOption.SkipRevocationCheck = true;
command.AddParameter("SessionOption", sessionOption);
powershell.Commands = command;
try
   {
       runspace.Open();
       powershell.Runspace = runspace;
       Collection<PSSession> result = powershell.Invoke<PSSession>();
       foreach (ErrorRecord current in powershell.Streams.Error)
       {
             throw new Exception("Exception: " + current.Exception.ToString());
       }
       if (result.Count != 1)
          throw new Exception("Unexpected number of Remote Runspace connections    
          returned.");

       powershell = PowerShell.Create();
       command = new PSCommand();
       command.AddCommand("Set-Variable");
       command.AddParameter("Name", "ra");
       command.AddParameter("Value", result[0]);
       powershell.Commands = command;
       powershell.Runspace = runspace;
       powershell.Invoke();

       powershell = PowerShell.Create();
       command = new PSCommand();
       command.AddScript("Import-PSSession -Session $ra");
       powershell.Commands = command;
       powershell.Runspace = runspace;
       powershell.Invoke();

       System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<PSObject> results = new 
       System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<PSObject>();

       powershell = PowerShell.Create();
       powershell.Runspace = runspace;

       System.IO.StreamReader sr = new System.IO.StreamReader("..\\..\\Script.ps1");
       powershell.AddScript(sr.ReadToEnd());
       powershell.Runspace.SessionStateProxy.SetVariable("proc", "C*");
       powershell.Runspace.SessionStateProxy.SetVariable("mbx", "*MBX");

       results = powershell.Invoke();

       if (powershell.Streams.Error.Count > 1)
       {
           foreach (ErrorRecord er in powershell.Streams.Error)
                  Console.WriteLine(er.ErrorDetails);
       }
       else
       {
           foreach (PSObject ps in results)
           {
                   Console.WriteLine(ps.Properties["Name"].Value.ToString());
           }
       }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
    }
    finally
    {
        runspace.Dispose();
        runspace = null;
        powershell.Dispose();
        powershell = null;
     }

But Unfortunately, I landed in the below exception.

C#

First, check if your URL is correct.
Based on the error message, there might be something wrong with Exchange server configuration.
Have you enabled Remote Exchange Management Shell as described here:

Also, this loop makes no sence, if there are errors only first will be thrown as new exception and execution will jump to your catch/finally section:

C#

foreach (ErrorRecord current in powershell.Streams.Error)
{
    throw new Exception("Exception: " + current.Exception.ToString());
}
