If you have a 2003 or 2008 (not R2) domain, and want to use the AD module that comes with the Windows 7 RSAT tools, the AD Gateway Service that's required was back-ported for 2008 and 2003 DCs. You just need to download and install it on at least one of your DC's.
From: Michael B. Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, June 27, 2011 7:23 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: PowerShell? The ActiveDirectory module was introduced in Server 2008 R2. However, if you do not want a dependency on Server 2008 R2, then that functionality is available via ADSI on Server 2003 and above (and somewhat more trivially on Server 2003 and above using the Quest AD cmdlets - however, those are not suitable for many secure environments). Lync 2010, as far as I have experienced, is not completely exposed via PowerShell. But it is darned close. There are some things (such as the Topology Builder) that you may execute only once (or very rarely) that are (as far as I know) only exposed via the Lync GUI. Regards, Michael B.

Thank you for the quick reply. Is it the same for AD and things you may run alongside Exchange such as Lync? Cheers Ryan From: Michael B. Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, June 27, 2011 8:10 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: PowerShell? As of exchange 2007 and above. Regards, Michael B.

Quick question to the PowerShell experts on the list. Is it true that I can now do anything I can do within the Exchange Management Tools via PowerShell?
