Slow performance when executing cmdlets through Powershell from a management server
We are trying to execute some management cmdlets to manage our distribution groups. We have a server having the Exchange Management Tools installed, not hosting any other Exchange Server roles. The command works well from an exchange server. When executing for example set-distributiongroup it takes some minutes to execute the command. It succeeds eventually . When running the command within a few minutes after the first try, it works fast. But when waiting for 5 or 6 minutes, it is slow again.
I ran the command with the verbose option, below you will find the output. The bold part is taking so long. This part is skipped when executing the command for the second time within some minutes:

Some got an idea what could be causing this delay?
