You have to hear the Autodiscover Song :)

Lyrics:


Autodiscover

There is no other
Way to decide
Where your mailbox is stored


Autodiscover
Your sister and brother
Exchange Admin and mother
Will be proud if you do

You may be tempted to wing it
Use a hardcoded link submit it
But performance will suffer
When you’re left to your druthers
Should have Autodiscovered
Then all would be well


Chorus
Call it once for each mailbox of interest
Pair the link and mailbox for each request
If you encounter errors
Refresh once again
For more information search M-S-D-N for

Chorus

Exchange won't exist in a bubble
If you think that it will you're in trouble
Add a site, one or two
And your perf will be through
Unless you step up and decide that your app will just...

Chorus

Autodiscover,
Autodiscover,
Just AutoDiscover for me.
It’s just plain XML

Add Feature Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5. during Exchange 2010 Install

While installing Exchange 2010, you may get the following error message:

"You must use the Role Management Tool to install or configure Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5."

Cause Windows 2008 R2 ships with .Net 3.5.1, you just need to enable the feature within the Server Manager -> Features:

Service Net. TCP Port Sharing / Exchange 2010

During the Readiness Checks you get the following error:

“The start mode for the Net. TCP Port Sharing service must be set to Automatic before Setup can continue”.

Open Powershell:
