HTTP 400 - bad request Cannot serialize context
Also when you start Exchange Management Shell, you receive the following error message:
ErrorCode : -2144108477TransportMessage : The WS-Management service cannot process the request because the XML is invalid.ErrorRecord
Cause:
This issue occurs if the username ends with the dollar sign ($), such as admin$.

Remove the dollar sign ($) from the username, or use another administrative account that doesn't end with the dollar sign ($).
