Remote Shell in Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 enables you to manage your server running Exchange 2010 from a remote computer, either on your network or from the Internet. If remote Shell is disabled for a user, it can't be used by the user. For more information about remote Shell, see Overview of Exchange Management Shell.
