Exchange 2013 script – automatic installation of prerequisites

[Andersson]

I’ve updated a script that was intended for installing prerequisites for Exchange 2010 that were released by a couple of peoples (Anderson Patricio, Pat Richard and Bhargav Shukla). This script have now been updated and applies to Exchange 2013.

 

It will help you with installing all prerequisites (features) plus the FilterPack(s) and the Unified Communications Managed API. It also provides the option to disable the UAC (User Access Control) and the Windows Firewall.

 

You can download the script here

Feel free to use it as much as you want, I just want to mention I do not provide support for it and there are no warranty.

The script/code can be viewed below:
