Whew - I'm not sure what's happening but everything blew up this morning when another admin rebooted the server...
I can't connect to the Exchange Management shell - I get this:
[<servername>.<domainname>.local] Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : WS-Management cannot process the request. The operation failed because of an HTTP error. The HTTP error (12152) is: The server returned an invalid or unrecognized response . For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic. + CategoryInfo : OpenError: (System.Manageme....RemoteRunspace:RemoteRunspace) [], PSRemotingTransportException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PSSessionOpenFailed
And in digging around, re-running the sharepoint PSConfig appeard to be a fix for a related issue I was reading about, and since there didn't seemt to be any harm in running it again (I did find the technote and had manually ran it after SP1 was installed) I ran it and this is an excerpt from the log:

server is joined to a server farm. Possible reasons for this failure could be that you no longer have the appropriate permissions to the server farm, the database server hosting the server farm is unresponsive, the configuration database is inaccessible
or this server has been removed from the server farm. To diagnose this problem further, review the extended error information located at {0}. If this problem persists, run this wizard again to disconnect from the server farm. After disconnecting,
run the wizard again to create or connect to an existing server farm.
So I seem to have some massive permissions issues. Is there any kind of a technote or walkthrough that can step me through verifying what permissions should be where? The connect to Internet Wizard won't complete complaining it can't configure the email and to run it again. That caused the Set Up your Internet Address wizard to not run, complaining you have to run the connect to Internet wizard.
