check_ncpa & powershell

Hi.
I'm trying to run a powershell script with check_ncpa and I want to add a snapin. But when I use this command
"Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010"
I get this error :
"Add-PSSnapin : No snap-ins have been registered for Windows PowerShell version 2."
Any ideas?
Thank you.

That is almost acting like you're trying to run that script on a server that doesn't have Exchange installed on it (so no snap-in available), if you run the powershell script manually on the remote server, does it work?
Edit: Another question, is this 32-bit or 64-bit Exchange? Is this a 32-bit or 64-bit OS?

Exchange is installed on the server and both are 64bit versions. If I run the script on the server it runs correctly.

I created a script with a single line
and I called it from nagios. The result I got was "4". That means that ncpa is calling the x86 version of powershell and the 64bit version. How can I change that?
Thank you.

Ok, that's likely why then, please try changing your ncpa.cfg .ps1 definition from:
Code: Select all
.ps1 = powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File $plugin_name $plugin_args
To the 64 bit version:
Code: Select all
.ps1 = %SystemRoot%\sysnative\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File $plugin_name $plugin_args
Then restart the ncpa_listener service and see if it works properly now.

Or you might be able to rename your powershell plugin to
pluginname.ps64 and add the line below as an alternate means of having both:
Code: Select all
.ps64 = %SystemRoot%\sysnative\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File $plugin_name $plugin_args
