You learned how this process, which is done through the classic GUI (Graphical User Interface), can be done easily through Exchange Management Shell With this essay. My advice to you is to stay away from the GUI environment for your management actions ,especially for Exchange Server, as much as possible. Make the most of Powershell's blessings :)
I hope it benefits...
