My goal is to create Email forwarding for 15k+ accounts in our Office365 by using powershell.
I may have to add that i don't have an education in this field and might describe things in a not very technical terms.
The problem i encountered is that i can not use cmdlets for set-mailbox, because i am missing a pssnapin. Using the commands for getting the snap-in into powershell i get the following error:
Add-PSSnapin : The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell' is not installed on this computer. At C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\profile.ps1:5 char:5 + Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell:String) [Add-PSSnapin], PSArgumentException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : AddPSSnapInRead,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.AddPSSnapinCommand
I wanted then to install the Snapin by using Microsoft Exchange Management Tools. I enabled everything in programmme and features and tried to run the installation.
But then the following error occured:

Or is there a way to add the Snap-in in another way?
Best regards and many thanks.

Unless your trying to modify Exchange 2007 Mailboxes then you don't need to use a Snapin this has been the case since Exchange 2010 where remote powershell was introduced in Exchange. If you want to modify Office365 mailbox follow the instruction in https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj984289(v=exchg.160).aspx the only requirement is the PC have powershell v.2 or greater.
