Enabling Exchange 2007 Mailbox

Question

We are provisioning a mailbox to Exchange 2007 in IDM and we are being forced to run a PowerShell script which in turn runs some Exchange commands. These keep bombing out with an error saying that Exchange server is crashing (which it is not!). We have tested these scripts locally on the machine and they execute perfectly. We have also troubleshot up to the PowerShell execution which outputs test info but will not execute the Exchange items. Is there something that IDM needs to set in order to execute remote Exchange actions in PowerShell??

I've found the solution. The error I got was related to the DOS environment variables SET. So, I had to set inside my resource action all the variables I suppose I need to run the powershell. This is the code of my resource action:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE Waveset PUBLIC 'waveset.dtd' 'waveset.dtd'>
<Waveset>
<ResourceAction name='AfterCreate_AD'>
<ResTypeAction restype='Windows Active Directory' timeout='100000'>
<act>

Enable-Mailbox -Identity '%WSUSER_canonicalName%' -Alias '%WSUSER_AdMailNickName%' -Database '%WSUSER_AdServername%' -DomainController %WSUSER_AdDomainController%"
exit 0
</act>

</ResourceAction>

Hope it helps
