Server Application Monitor

The following steps should be performed on the Exchange server to remove the reference to  the broken assembly:
 

1.  Run the following PowerShell Command: 

   # Scripts are not supported under any SolarWinds support program or service.
   # Scripts are provided AS IS without warranty of any kind. SolarWinds further
   # disclaims all warranties including, without limitation, any implied warranties
   # of merchantability or of fitness for a particular purpose. The risk arising
   # out of the use or performance of the scripts and documentation stays with you.
   # In no event shall SolarWinds or anyone else involved in the creation,
   # production, or delivery of the scripts be liable for any damages whatsoever
   # (including, without limitation, damages for loss of business profits, business

   # out of the use of or inability to use the scripts or documentation.
   
   get-childitem -Path wsman:\localhost\plugin\microsoft.powershell\InitializationParameters

Working Server Output:

 

• Microsoft.WSMan.Management\WSMan: localhost\Plugin\microsoft.powershell\InitializationParameters

ParamName                      ParamValue
---------                 ----------

PSVersion            3.0

 

Non-Working Server Output:

 

• Microsoft.WSMan.Management\WSMan::localhost\Plugin\microsoft.powershell\InitializationParameters

ParamName                      ParamValue
---------                                 ----------
PSVersion                         3.0
assemblyname                   -
pssessionconfigurationtypename ShowSecurityDescr...
 

2. The issue is with the "-" value so it must be removed.
3. Run the following commands to remove the two extra InitializationParameters.

• Remove-Item -Path wsman:\localhost\plugin\microsoft.powershell\InitializationParameters\assemblyname
• Remove-Item -Path wsman:\localhost\plugin\microsoft.powershell\InitializationParameters\pssessionconfigurationtypename

4. Restart the server.
