I did however run in to some problems in production as we have multiple domains. The Microsoft article below the video shows you to open cmd prompt and then run the commands. However check the following: 1. Always right click and choose “run as administrator” when opening the cmd prompt or you will get errors. 2. You need to browse to the Exchange install file (setup.com) in the cmd prompt before…
