Windows Management Framework (WMF) 3.0 on Exchange 2007-2010 is not supported YET!
Did you install the optional updates KB2506146 or KB2506143 to try out (or not) Windows PowerShell 3.0?
I just noticed the blog post at MS Exchange Team Blog about WMF 3.0 on Exchange 2007-2010 and wanted to share this. I have been seeing posts about this at forums. Per The Exchange Team Blog:
Windows Management Framework 3.0 (specifically PowerShell 3.0) is not yet supported on any version of Exchange except Exchange Server 2013 (which requires it)…
and if you happen to have installed it, you may have broken installation of updates:
- If rollup is installed through Microsoft Update, the installation might error with error code of 80070643
- If rollup is installed from a download, the error displayed is “Setup ended prematurely because of an error."
- In both cases, event log might show the error with an error code of “1603”
Be careful, spread the word…
Some of the symptoms are included in this post
UPDATE: 12/17/2012
Apparently WMF 3.0 also breaks SCVMM agents in HyperV:
Managing Hyper-V hosts using Virtual Machine Manager fails with Error: 0x8033803b after installing WMF 3.0.
