How to allow PowerShell to connect to Exchange Server over IP address
Problem:
You need to be able to connect with PowerShell to your on-premises Exchange Server by using its IP address instead of its FQDN or hostname.
Solution:
In order to allow PowerShell to connect remotely over an IP address, PowerShell Virtual Directory in IIS must be configured for basic authentication. Follow the steps below to do that:
- Run
Exchange Management Shell on the Exchange machine to which you want to connect over the IP address. - Execute the cmdlet below:
Set-PowerShellVirtualDirectory -Identity "PowerShell (Default Web Site)" -BasicAuthentication $true
