Exchange 2010 Prerequisites

When installing a typical Exchange 2010 setup (CAL, HUB and MBX roles) there are a couple of pre-requisites.

• Install the Microsoft Filter Pack (x64):
  http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=137042
• Install the needed features in Windows:
  Import-Module ServerManger
  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 the "Net.TCP Port Sharing Service" to start automatically:

If you skip any of these you'll get warnings or errors during the pre-requisites check.
