Running Exchange 2010 PowerShell Scripts

Question

Hello,
I have a PowerShell Script which calls PSSnapins for Exchange tools.  The Exchange Management Tools are installed on the Tidal Server
The Script works fine by itself, I have executed it as the tidal users on the Tidal Server. I have also created a batch file to execute the Powershell script, which also works on the tidal server.
However when I run the job in Tidal it doesn't run correctly by that I mean it will run the none Exchange pieces.  In the Output tab it shows:
Add-PSSnapin : The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010' is not installed on this machine.
At E:\PowerShell\DailyChecks\Dag_daily.ps1:7 char:13
+ Add-PSSnapin <<<<  Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (Microsoft.Excha...owerShell.E2
   010:String) [Add-PSSnapin], PSArgumentException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : AddPSSnapInRead,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Ad
   dPSSnapinCommand
Add-PSSnapin : The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Powershell.Support' is not installed on this machine
These Scripts also work via Windows Task Scheduler as written  I would really like to get these to work in Tidal.  We are Tidal 5.3.1. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have struggled with a similar issue with Sharepoint snapin with performing a backup
I can give a couple of suggestions
Add snapin to default profiles
We also see a difference in 64 vs 32 bit oprerations
we had to add to both versions using a local profile.ps1 and adding a line
Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0
Execute remotely
Slightly different setup on our side
I am trying to invoke-command on the remote sharepoint server =
( you have to set up psremoting, etc)
Invoke-Command -ComputerName -scriptblock { E:\Backup\BackupSite.ps1}
Similarly I  can execute the backup.ps1 with no issue on the server but can't from the tidal job.
I'll let you know if we find a fix
I am thinking double hop at this point and need to trust for delegation, etc
