Install Exchange 2010 Prerequisites on Windows 7 with Powershell (CMD)

Scripting your IIS and .NET 3.5 prerequisites for Exchange 2010 on Windows 7:

IIS:

dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:IIS-WebServerRole  /featurename:IIS-WebServerManagementTools /featurename:IIS-IIS6ManagementCompatibility /featurename:IIS-Metabase /featurename:IIS-LegacySnapIn

.NET 3.5:

Write-Host "Installing .Net Framework 3.5, do not close this prompt..." 
                    DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:$LocalSource | Out-Null  
                    $Result = Dism /online /Get-featureinfo /featurename:NetFx3 
                    If($Result -contains "State : Enabled") 
                    { 
                        Write-Host "Install .Net Framework 3.5 successfully." 
                    } 
                    Else 
                    { 
                        Write-Host "Failed to install Install .Net Framework 3.5,please make sure the local source is correct." 
                    }

In case the above doesn't work, you can try:

DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3

Lync 2010 - Revoke a User Certificate

Lync 2010 - Revoke a User Certificate

This one is more important than you may think. If you disable an AD account, and permit users to save their username/password, they will still be able to use Lync! A lot of people don't know this and it creates an interesting discussion with the security officer.

Convert Legacy mailbox to User mailbox

If you happen to have a Legacy Mailbox on an Exchange 2010 server, you can upgrade or convert it to a User Mailbox by using the shell command:

Set-Mailbox -identity Alias -ApplyMandatoryProperties


After executing the command, the mailbox should be converted from Legacy to user in about 20 seconds.

Or:

Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* |  ?{$_.DisplayName -like “*Lync Server*”} | Sort-Object DisplayName | Select DisplayName, DisplayVersion, InstallDate | Format-Table -AutoSize
