How to resolve “user isn’t assigned to any management roles” error in Exchange 2010 EMC

exchangeexchange-2010permissions

Newly installed Exchange 2010 box (technically, a partially installed box, as this error is preventing me from completing the install).

When I launch EMC or the Management Powershell, I get this error:

VERBOSE: Connecting to myserver.mydomain.internal
[myserver.mydomain.internal] 
Processing data from remote server failed with the following error message: 
The user "mydomain\administrator" isn't assigned to any management roles. 
For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
Failed to connect to any Exchange Server in the current site.

Thing is..

The logged in administrator account (confirmed using 'whoami') is a member of the following groups:

Administrators
Delegated Setup
Discovery Management
Domain Admins
Domain Users
Enterprise Admins
Exchange Organization Administrators
GPO Creator Owners
Organization Management
Schema Admins
Server Management

Any ideas? how can I get past this?

@Richard, chances are a different user account was used for the schema preparations during the pre-install tasks as to those that were used to install Exchange.

Ensure your account is a member of the Organization Management group, and see if the error is resolved for you.

Thanks!
