You run the command \u201c<em>New-Exchange Certificate \u2013 Services \u201cIMAP, POP3, IIS, SMTP\u201d \u2013Confirm:$false<\/em>\u201d. The script stops at a prompt when it tries to confirm overwrite of existing SMTP certificate (because current self-signed certificate is assigned to that function). Since this is breaking your script, you decide to throw in \u2013force to force override of the prompt.<\/p>\n<p>Now you face another error: \u201c<em>Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named parameters.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is because \u2013Force serves different purpose in Exchange 2007.
