A few months back I created a script to assist in the installation of Exchange 2013 RTM on Windows 2008 and 2012. This same script needed some slight modification now as the allowable version of UCMA (Unified Communications Managed API) has changed to a newer version then what was required in RTM. I’ve also had to add new logic for the clean removal of the new C++ after UCMA installs.
Please remember that this script is provided as is and there is no warranty involved. If you have any questions or need some assistance, I will certainly put some effort in to helping you out.
Download the script here. Rename the file to Set-Exchange2013Prerequisites-1-5.ps1 after you download it.
Below is a sample of the code. I didn’t want to list 1000+ lines of code on this page. Please add comments to the post if you have any questions.
As a side note, I will be working to add some event logging and possibly static port mapping as well. This is something the original creators of the 2010 script wanted to add, so I attempt to add these next.

Prerequisites
Should this script work on Windows Server 2012 R2? It seems to do an OS check and then exits.
Thom – I have not updated the script for Windows 2012 R2. I have had it in my lab for testing but have not posted the updated script. Look for the script soon.
***UPDATE***
I placed an updated script up to the TechNet Gallery here – http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/site/search?f%5B0%5D.Type=User&f%5B0%5D.Value=JAUCG. Please let me know if this works for you.
