Hello, everyone. While trying to install Exchange 2013 on my Windows Server 2008 R2 server I've ran into an impasse. What I have done so far was follow Microsoft's recommendations for pre installation at their site http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691354(v=exchg.150).aspx (Instructions for Windows Server 2008 R2 Sp1; Mailbox server role or Combined Mailbox and Client Access Server roles). However, when I got to step 8 of installing the recommended software (Update KB2533623) I received an error that the update was not applicable for my server.
I decided to skip installing the last update (KB2533623) and proceeded with installing Exch 2013. During the installation I received several errors that all indicated that I could not proceed with the install because the account that I was using to install the installation was not a member of the Organization Management role group. When I tried to run powershell on my new server (that is a part of my domain), I receive the following error:
Windows PowerShell

PS C:\> Add-RoleGroupMember
Add-RoleGroupMember : The term 'Add-RoleGroupMember' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file,
or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and
try again.

+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Add-RoleGroupMember:String) [], CommandNotFoundException

Some things to consider are:
- The install of Exchange 2013 is being installed on a brand new server that is a part of my work's domain and a server that has no other software installed on it
- My company still has a live, separate Exchange 2010 server
- I'm not yet trying to move any accounts over to my 2013 server, I only want the Exchange software loaded for the moment
I would greatly appreciate your assistance on this
