Running scripts to start and stop services has been a task long associated with Exchange.

Some of my lab servers run in Microsoft Azure with no redundancy. This is because they are only a lab, and I want to minimise the monthly billing costs for these environments. When the servers are restarted due to patching or maintenance activities, there can be a little fallout.

Conversely, the Exchange 2010 HUB Store Driver can only communi… Read the rest “Controlling Exchange 2013/2016 Proxying To Exchange 2010”
