Exchange implements its own PowerShell remoting endpoint, which is IIS hosted. This endpoing (among other things) implements Role-based access control (RBAC), only giving access to the Cmdlets the connecting user has permissions to use (the default endpoint doesn't do this).

Question
For exchange the connection uri used is :
http://machineName/powershell
The WSManConnectionInfo object is created in the following way:
WSManConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new WSManConnectionInfo(new Uri("http://machineName/powershell"), "http://schemas.microsoft.com/powershell/Microsoft.Exchange", ExchangeCredential)
To connect to windows, the uri used is
http://machineName:5985/wsman
The WSManConnectionInfo object is created in the following way:
WSManConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new WSManConnectionInfo(new Uri("http://machineName:5985/wsman"), "http://schemas.microsoft.com/powershell/Microsoft.PowerShell", credential);
Why is there a difference in the connection uri for exchange and windows?
