Powershell: Exchange Server Prerequisites Tool

  • Article

Applies to

Exchange Servder 2010/2013/2016

Introduction

Installing Exchange with all its prerequisites can be something of a daunting task for new Exchange Administrators.

I created a PowerShell script that has a tab for each version of Exchange as well as the prerequisites for PowerShell and additional software that needs to be installed. Having a tool with everything in 1 place makes it easier.

Features

The PowerShell Script has a clipboard feature that copies the text easily and can be pasted into PowerShell. Each button downloads the files to C:\Downloads folder. You can modify the script to download to your location of choice, just remember not to change the filename.

Snippets

Here are some snippets of the tool:
