Question"A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Exchange2003URL' "

    If it type in the command to point the 2010 CAS to the 2003 mailboxes, it tells me -exchange2003url is not a parameter. If I tab through my options it doesn't come up either. Anyone have an idea why it wouldn't be there?

    [PS] C:\>Set-OwaVirtualDirectory mail14.ocslab.com\OWA* -Exchange2003URL https://legacy.ocslab.com/exchange

    You might have an RBAC permissions issue.  I have seen this several times in previous installations where tab completing commands and executing them gives the same result as you have above.

    Try running the following from a command prompt in the installation directory and make sure your account is a member of the Domain Admins group:

    setup.com /PrepareAD

    This will ensures that the domain contains all the prerequisites for Exchange 2010 (schema version, configuration partition, rights, security groups, etc).

    Prepare AD has been run. I actually have Hub CAS and MB role installed already. The user account I am using is an enterprise admin and an Exchange Org Admin. Unless I'm overlooking something it doesn't seem to be a RBAC issue.

    What build of Exchange 2010 are you running? Run Get-ExchangeServer |FL *admin* We added that parameter in June so if you have a build older than that, this is why you can't access the parameter.

    If you haven't already, download the RTM bits and install those in a clean test environment.

    I'm using the RTM version. I downloaded it from MSDN last week.
    Right now the only thing I can think of is UAC. I forgot to turn that off when I was doing the setup.com /prepare steps.
    Starting from scratch with that turned off, seeing if it makes a difference.
    I also won't have OCS installed in the new test environment.

    You don't need to disable the UAC, just launch an elevated command prompt with right-click Run As Administrator and run setup within that. The same thing can be done by right-clicking setup.exe itself, but I think the commandline interface is nicer. :)
