check if pssnapin could be load

[paddy75]

Hello all,
I have a multi form project. The mainform has two buttons. In the formload i like to check when the exchange snapin is installed on the machine show the exchange button, when not hide it. I tried diffrent code, but all what i tried was not successfull. I tested it on the exchange server directly. Hope someone has an idea.
Here's the code I have at the moment:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse]

1.     if (-not (Get-PSSnapin -Registered | Where-Object{$_.Name -eq "Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.SnapIn"}))
2.  
3.         {
4.  
5.         $buttonExchange.Visible = $false
6.  
7.         }
8.  
9.     else
10.  
11.         {
12.  
13.         $buttonExchange.Visible = $true
14.  
15.         }
16.  
17.     }

This is how to do this:

$buttonExchange.Visible = [bool](Get-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010 -ea 0)

Thanks for your reply, but this is also not working. Button is not visible but snapin is installed.
We have Exchange 2013, so i replaced the name. I tried this now:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse]

1. $buttonExchange.Visible = [bool](Get-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.SnapIn -ea 0)

You have to use the exact name of the snapin.

At a prompt get the snapin and check the name. THe name you are using is not the3 name of the snapin.

Name was correct. I found the mistake. the correct code is:

Code: Select all

 $buttonExchange.Visible = [bool](Get-PSSnapin -registered Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.SnapIn -ea 0)
