Recipe for installing Exchange 2010

I have now installed enough exchange2010 servers, to have made a little document, on how to do it.
It's very simple, but here's a howto, with a configuration script, on things I know I always want's to configure.
So I hope some you can use this, no matter if you need to install one server, or many.

First, install prerequisites using this MS article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691354.aspx

E.G. when installing mb, cas and hub roles on server 2008 R2, you'll run, in PowerShell (remember to start it as Administrator):
Import-Module ServerManager
Add-WindowsFeature NET-Framework,RSAT-ADDS,Web-Server,Web-Basic-Auth,Web-Windows-Auth,Web-Metabase,Web-Net-Ext,Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console,WAS-Process-Model,RSAT-Web-Server,Web-ISAPI-Ext,Web-Digest-Auth,Web-Dyn-Compression,NET-HTTP-Activation,RPC-Over-HTTP-Proxy -Restart 
Set-Service NetTcpPortSharing -StartupType Automatic
Then install the Exchange server.

When installed there's always lot of things to configure. These is different, after what scenario it's installed in.
But I found, that I always need to configure these, after installing the certificate.
The following edit, the url's for the different iis dirs.
So edit, to the correct servernames, and run in powershell:

Get-OabVirtualDirectory -server SERVERNAME | Set-OabVirtualDirectory -InternalUrl https://INTERNALHOSTNAME.DOMAIN.NET/OAB -ExternalUrl https://EXTERNALHOSTNAME.DOMAIN.NET/OAB 
Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -server SERVERNAME | Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -InternalUrl https://INTERNALHOSTNAME.DOMAIN.NET/EWS/Exchange.asmx -ExternalUrl https://EXTERNALHOSTNAME.DOMAIN.NET/EWS/Exchange.asmx
Get-OwaVirtualDirectory -server SERVERNAME | Set-OwaVirtualDirectory -InternalUrl https://INTERNALHOSTNAME.DOMAIN.NET/owa -ExternalUrl https://EXTERNALHOSTNAME.DOMAIN.NET/owa
Get-EcpVirtualDirectory -server SERVERNAME | Set-EcpVirtualDirectory -InternalUrl https://INTERNALHOSTNAME.DOMAIN.NET/ecp -ExternalUrl https://EXTERNALHOSTNAME.DOMAIN.NET/ecp
Get-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory -server SERVERNAME | Set-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory -InternalUrl https://INTERNALHOSTNAME.DOMAIN.NET/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync -ExternalUrl https://EXTERNALHOSTNAME.DOMAIN.NET/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync
Get-ClientAccessServer SERVERNAME | Set-ClientAccessServer -AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri https://INTERNALAUTDISCOVER-URL.DOMAIN.NET/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml
enable-OutlookAnywhere -Server 'SERVERNAME' -ExternalHostname 'EXTERNALHOSTNAME.DOMAIN.NET' -DefaultAuthenticationMethod 'Basic' -SSLOffloading $false
Input is welcome, if you need more details.

  1. I've heard about some programs which work with like issues. But only one of them liked me. Because of the program showed many useful resources for resolving out many other similar troubles associated with ms exchange - recovery exchange 2003.
