New Mailbox via Powersell

All,

I have the following:

 
 #Get-Mailbox -Database schemailmb1.stockport.sch.uk #Retrieves a list of Mailboxes from Database
 #Get-Mailbox -server schemail.stockport.sch.uk # Retrieves a list of Mailboxes from Server
 #Get-MailboxStatistics -Database schemailmb1.stockport.sch.uk  # Retrieves Stats for Mailboxes from Database
 #Get-MailboxStatistics -Server schemail.stockport.sch.uk # Retrieves Stats for Mailboxes from Server
 #Get-MailboxDatabase -StorageGroup StorageGroup # Retrieves Stats for mailbox databases from Storage group
 
 #Set Variables
 
 $_DisplayName = "TestScript"
 $_Password = "password"
 $_Alias = "TestScript"
 $_FirstName = "Test"
 $_LastName = "Script"
 $_OU = "Users"
 $_PrincipalName = "test.script@domain.com"
 $_Database = "Storage Group A\Mailbox Database A"
 $_I = 0
 
 #Loop round CSV File and create new mailboxes
 
 Do {New-Mailbox -DisplayName $_DisplayName -Password $_Password -Alias $_Alias -FirstName $_FirstName -LastName $_LastName -OrganizationalUnit $_OU -UserPrincipalName $_PrincipalName -Database $_Database; $_I++}
 Until ($_I = 1)
 
 

However I am using primalscript and I am getting the following in the output when running it:

ERROR: Add-PSSnapin : Cannot add Windows PowerShell snap-in Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin because it is already added. Verify the name of the snap-in and try again.

*** PowerShell Script finished. ***

Can anyone shed any light on this matter?

Many Thanks
