When you try to open the Exchange 2010 Management Console, you may receive an error:

The attempt to connect to http://exchangeserver.domain.local/Powershell user ‘Kerberos’ authentication failed: Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message: The WS-Management service cannot process the request. The system load quota of 1000 requests per 2 seconds has been exceeded. Send future requests at a slower rate or raise the quota for this user.
