Installing Plug-in for Exchange from the SnapCenter Server host using PowerShell cmdlets

You should install the Plug-in for Exchange from the GUI. If you do not want to use the GUI, you can use PowerShell cmdlets on the SnapCenter Server host or on a remote host.

Before you begin

SnapCenter Server must be installed and configured.
You must be a local administrator on the host or a user with administrative privileges.
You must be a user that is assigned to a role that has the plug-in, install, and uninstall permissions, such as the SnapCenter Admin.
You must have reviewed the installation requirements and types of supported configurations before installing the Plug-in for Exchange.
The host on which you want the Plug-in for Exchange installed must be a Windows host.

Steps

On the SnapCenter Server host, establish a session by using the Open-SmConnection command, and then enter your credentials.
Add the host on which you want to install the Plug-in for Exchange: Add-SmHost -HostName DAGName -IsDAG -OSType Windows -RunAsName run_as_name
Example
```
Add-SmHost -HostName Exchange2016DAG -IsDAG -OSType Windows -RunAsName Admin
```
The host can be a standalone host or a DAG. If you specify a DAG, the -IsDAG parameter is required.
Install the Plug-in for Exchange: Install-SmHostPackage -HostNames host_name -ApplicationCode SCE -FilesystemCode SCW -RunAsName run_as_name -Verbose
Example
```
Install-SmHostPackage -HostNames Exchange2016DAG -ApplicationCode SCE 
-FilesystemCode SCW -RunAsName Administrator -Verbose
```
This command installs the Plug-in for Exchange on the specified host, and then registers the plug-in with SnapCenter.
