Problem : After you install the Windows Management Framework 4.0 which includes the update to Powershell 4. It installs successfully but Powershell 4 is missing? Solution : You probably did not installed the pre-requisite .net 4.5 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=30653   Install .net 4.5 on 2012 from the built in installer. On Windows 7 or 2008 R2 use the download link above. Note: 2008 R2 SP1 also is required Once .net 4.5 is installed then rerun the installer for Windows Management Framework 4.0 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40855 Note: you do not have to uninstall and reinstall the package just rerun it. Restart the system and confirm the version of Powershell you have running use the following command within powershell: $PSVersionTable.PSVersion Note: For other version prerequisites see the link below for more details Credit- http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/21016.how-to-install-window...

This is a safer way to migrate by keeping the old and new permissions intact while a...

So a client had an old SBS 2011 server that was out of service with Exchange 2010 on it. They have been running Office 365 for about 9 months and did a clean cutover no migration, since most of the data was, as they put it “old junk”. However they wanted a copy of that “old junk” before that server is taken to the recycle center just in case. Which is always a good idea and sounds simple enough. Since it is exchange 2010 you don’t have to use exmerge or some other older tool you can use powershell commands that export each mailbox to its own big .PST to a drive share that will be copied to a copy external hard drives or tapes and put on a shelf and be forgotten about till some needs a drive or tape. So I start out trying to run the basic command to give myself permissions: New-Managementroleassignment –Role “Mailbox Import Export” –User “Administrator” Command does not exist … (Quick Research and I need to add Exchange Service Pack 1) Install SP1 and run the command above again and i...
