I’m new to MS Exchange, I’ve apparently made some error during its installation and now when I try to open the Exchange Management Console and I click on the Microsoft Exchange On-Premises tree item on the left, I get the following error:
“[servername.domainname.com] Connecting to the remote server failed with the following error message: The WinRM client cannot complete the operation within the time specified. Check if the machine name is valid and is reachable….”

I know that the servername is wrong, so how do I change it and have the Exchange Management Console connect automatically by default to the right server?

    Under C:\users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\MMC\Exchange Management Console\ there is a config file named Exchange Management Console. Delete it.

    In the registry under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Exchangeserver\v14\AdminTools\NodeStructureSettings delete the value NodeStructureSettings
