As a veteran of at least a 1/2 dozen Summits, I&#8217;ve created this post to answer the commonly asked questions. Hopefully, it should provide a good bit of info on what to expect.

		<description><![CDATA[When writing scripts that execute commands on an Exchange server, for Exchange 2010, it&#8217;s important to ensure that you&#8217;re running within a session connected to an Exchange server, and that all Exchange cmdlets are available. In Exchange 2007, we could load the Exchange snapins. But 2010 doesn&#8217;t use snapins. Some people would say that you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Often in my PowerShell scripts, I need to either load a specific module, or verify it&#8217;s loaded. Manually, of course, we can use Get-Module, Import-Module, etc. But in automation scripts, we need to programtically make sure the module is loaded or load it if it&#8217;s not. I wrote this function and it&#8217;s worked well for me. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When creating new accounts, an admin needs to assign a password. We often then check the box to force a user to change their password when they logon for the first time. Some organizations will use a &#8216;default&#8217; password for all new accounts. That&#8217;s fraught with security implications, and I&#8217;ve never recommended it. The downside [...]]]></description>
