I'm fixing a number of PowerShell v1.0 scripts to get them to work underPowerShell v2.0 and found the basic script editor/debugger that comes with PSv2, "ISE."
It's a lightweight version of PowerGUI (which I never spent enough time with) that has pretty decent debugger features.
All of the scripts I'm upgrading make calls to the Exchange Admin extensions and I got stymied getting the debugger to load the Exchange 2007 Admin extensions. I kept looking for an "options" feature or some other way to set up a reference to the extensions through menu item choices on ISE but couldn't find anything appropriate.
A quick question to our Exchange admin showed how to get around it: one of the windows in the debugger is a PowerShell script prompt. Just put this in that window:
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin
Very simple. This'll load the extensions and you can then get back to debugging.
