Permission (?) issue when run a Exchange Cmdlet

Question

Hello,
MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus from the PowerShell (powershell.exe) with the added PSSnapin "Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010.
Unfortunately, I always receive the following error message:
Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus : A server-side administrative operation has failed. Operation failed with message: Error
 0x5 (Access is denied) from cli_GetCopyStatusEx2
At \\agr8\D\mk_exchange_inprogress.ps1:138 char:51
+     ForEach ($Status in Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus <<<<  -Identity $DataBase.Name) {
    + CategoryInfo          : ReadError: (:) [Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus], TaskOperationFailedException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : 6B5FB038,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemConfigurationTasks.GetMailboxDatabaseCopySt
   atus
When running the script from the Exchange Management Shell, no Errors occur.
Does anyone know the reason and the solution?
Regards Alex

Hi,
Did you want to connect the remote Shell to Exchange server? If so, I recommend you follow the commands below and then run the Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus command again to check the result.
$UserCredential = Get-Credential
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri
http://<FQDN of Exchange 2010 server>/PowerShell/ -Authentication Kerberos -Credential $UserCredential
Import-PSSession $Session
For more details about this, please refer to this article.
