After upgrade to Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1, the Exchange Management Shell is missing

After upgrading an Exchange Server 2010 computer to Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1, the Exchange Management Shell is missing from program options.

Additionally, the .ps1 script files associated with the Exchange Management Shell may also be missing.

This problem can occur if there is a missing value in the Registry when Setup is run for the AdminToolsRole. The missing registry value is below:

Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\Admin Tools
Value: ConfiguredVersion

STATUS

To resolve this issue, use the following steps:

1. Verify that all of the following files are present in the %ExchangeInstallPath%\bin directory:
   
   Collapse this tableExpand this table

   CommonConnectFunctions.ps1	CommonConnectFunctions.strings.psd1
   Connect-ExchangeServer-help.xml	ConnectFunctions.ps1
   ConnectFunctions.strings.psd1	RemoteExchange.ps1
   RemoteExchange.strings.psd1

   
   
2. If these files are missing, you can copy the files from the Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1 installation media to the %ExchangeInstallPath%\bin directory.
   
   Note: These files are present in the \setup\serverroles\common folder.
3. Click Start, click Run and type regedit.exe and click OK.
4. Navigate to the following registry path:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\Admin Tools
   
5. Right click the Admin Tools key and click New, click String Value and type the value name ConfiguredVersion.
6. Double click ConfiguredVersion and type the value 14.1.218.15.
   NOTE: This value should match the UnpackedVersion value, found in the same key.
7. Click Start, click Administrative Tools, right-click Windows PowerShell Modules, click Send to and click Desktop (as shortcut).
8. Right click the new shortcut you created on the desktop, click Properties.
9. On the Shortcut tab, in the Target path, replace the text with the following:
   
   C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noexit -command ". 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\bin\RemoteExchange.ps1'; Connect-ExchangeServer -auto"
   
   Note: if the Windows root drive, or the Exchange installation folder or drive name, is different than the default specified in the example, you need to change the path accordingly

Warning: If you manually created shortcuts for the Exchange Management Shell prior to installing or updating the server, you may need to repeat the steps above to correctly target the Exchange Management Shell path.
