Connect the remote exchange command line manager to the Exchange Server

You can use the remote command line management program to connect to a remote server running Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 for management without installing any exchange management tools on your local computer. The remote command line manager uses Windows powershell 2.0 and Windows Remote Management (winrm) 2.0 to connect to the remote exchange 2010 server.

After connecting the remote command line manager to the Exchange server, you can use the exchange 2010 cmdlet that you have access to in a local powershell session. When you run a cmdlet on a computer, the request is sent to a remote exchange 2010 server. The remote exchange 2010 server then returns the result (if any) to your computer.
