Access denied opening Exchange 2010 management Console

You receive the above error when trying to open the exchange 2010 management console.

I resolved this by doing the following.

Run the following command from cmd:

Net time /set

Run the following command from powershell:

Winrm quickconfig

Then restart the server.

 

If your exchange server is running inside a virtual machine make sure that the ‘Time sync’ on the guest services are not enabled.
