Automating Exchange 2010 and 2013 setup requirements for the Priasoft Migration Suite for Exchange
We have developed a Powershell script to automate the requirements for Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2013 source/target setups. This script will setup a remote PowerShell session with an Exchange 2010/2013 server and then prompt you for a name that will be used to create a windows service account for use by the Migration Suite for Exchange.
The script has the following assumptions:
- The user name provided does not exist and needs to be created or the user name provided has been created already using this script and needs its setting refreshed.
- The User account provided to the credential prompts within the script for the Exchange 2010/2013 server has the necessary rights to execute the script. Must be a domain admin and also have rights to Exchange 2010/2013 (NOTE: if this is a new installation you should use the user that was used to install Exchange 2010/2013)
- Scripting is enabled in Windows PowerShell
- You are running this script from a host that has Windows PowerShell V2 and WinRM installed. (Note: Windows 7 already meets these requirements out of the box)
