The following must be installed on the VitalSigns workstation/server:

Powershell 4.0
.NET Framework 4.5.1

The administration account must have the following:

Active Directory credentials
User ID must be an ExchangeAdmin with permissions to execute Remote PowerShell on the Exchange Management Shell

The following PowerShell commands must be run on the server using the same UserID and Credentials that VitalSigns will use:

Open a Windows PowerShell session as administrator.

Configure the station to receive remote commands:
```
Enable-PSRemoting –Force 
```
Change the user preference for the Windows PowerShell execution policy to allow the execution of scripts:
```
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force
```

Create a new Throttling Policy to allow 1000 PowerShell Concurrencies:

Replace Custom-Policy-Name with new policy name.

New-ThrottlingPolicy -Identity {Custom-Policy-Name} -PowershellMaxConcurrency 1000 -PswsMaxConcurrency 1000 -ThrottlingPolicyScope Regular

Associate the new Throttling Policy with the specified user:

Replace ID-USED-BY-VitalSigns with new policy name
```
Set-ThrottlingPolicyAssociation -Identity {ID-USED-BY-VitalSigns} -ThrottlingPolicy NEWPOLICYNAME
```
