Managing spaces in AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 script
If you are familiar with Microsoft Exchange 2007 you already know about the AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 script that can be found in the "X:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Scripts", however this script has a bug it doesn't look to support public folders which names contains spaces.
It is quite common to enclose parameters that contains spaces with "quotations" but that doesn't work here.
If you simply try to use the following it will fail.
AddReplicatoPFRecursive.ps1 -TopPublicFolder “\PublicFolder with space” -ServerToAdd “servername”
The solution turned out to be to use single quotes inside the double quotes so it should be something like
AddReplicatoPFRecursive.ps1 -TopPublicFolder “'\PublicFolder with space'” -ServerToAdd “servername”
That's really weird and not standard but it works !
Managing certificates in Exchange 2010
If you are familiar with Exchange 2010 and trying to install Exchange 2010 for the first time you should have already noticed that the powershell cmdlets used to request and install certificates in Exchange 2007 no longer work in Exchange 2010.
For instance running
New-ExchangeCertificate -GenerateRequest -domainname mail.contoso.msft,autodiscover.contoso.msft,myserver,myserver.internal.contoso.msft -FriendlyName mail.contoso.msft -privatekeyexportable:$true -path c:\cert_myserver.txt
will fail with the following error
A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument ‘-Path’.
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [New-ExchangeCertificate], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,New-ExchangeCertificate
and running
Import-ExchangeCertificate -path "c:\CertNew.cer"
will also fail with the same error
A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '-path'.
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Import-ExchangeCertificate], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,Import-ExchangeCertificate
So here are the commands you should use for Exchange 2010
