As part of my series on Quick PowerShell stuff, I like to share brainstorms or ideas that I have that lead to usable scripts. This script is usable in relative terms, but I think it is more of an exercise of what you can do with PowerShell. The script also reveals some information that I…
Removed Cmdlets for Exchange 2013 CU6 and CU7
When commands are removed, usually there is some warning either in documentation or help files or noticed while running the commands themselves. Just like everything else in the world, there are exceptions to the rules. In this case we are looking at commands that have been removed with very little fanfare from Exchange 2013 in…

Lab Setup – Script – Part1
While creating multiple test environments for testing various Exchange versions and products it dawned on me that as I create users, databases, etc, this will be a time-consuming and repetitive process. In order to reduce my own work load, as well as provide a useable public script, I decided to venture into creating a script…
Exchange Migration, Failed Storage, No Backup and Recovery
My Exchange Server migration experience has taken me through Exchange 4.0 –> Exchange 5.5 all the way to the more modern Exchange 2007/2010 –> Exchange 2013. One of the most important and often skipped steps is to perform backups of recently migrated mailboxes (in today’s case once the mailbox is on Exchange 2013). This is…
Exchange Server 2013 Prerequisite Script *Updated*
A while back I wrote a script to install Exchange 2013 Prerequisites on Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012. This script has grown and expanded over time to include support for newer CU’s, Edge Transport Role, ETC. This version I’ve made some changes, cleaned up some code and basically made it more compatible for Exchange…
