Exchange Variables In Shell Which Makes Navigation Easy…

Exchange 2007 Shell has three pre-defined variables that it loads into a shell console by default.
They are $exbin, $exinstall and $exscripts

$exbin has the path to the Bin directory of exchange 2007.
$exinstall has the exchange 2007 install path
$exscripts has the exchange 2007 scripts folder path, which we commonly use.

Now it’s easy to navigate to any of the above paths. For example, type in cd $exscripts to put the shell prompt into your scripts folder.

Where are these variables defined?

When a shell console is loaded, it runs a script called Exchange.ps1 which is stored in the Bin directory.

If you open the script using any editor like notepad, you can see the variables defined.

Easy Navigation!

Wow. It's Quiet Here...
