Sets the language attribute of Exchange 2010 mailboxes - use this powershell script

usage scenario: During a move mailbox scenario in a mid-large international company users told that they got Non Deleivery Reports (NDRs) in German language. Crazy, because all servers are set up with English OS and English Exchange Software - no German at all!

The URL call is routed over an ISA/TMG or a CISCO Netscaler, which then checks the group membership of the user to then forward him to the correct Exchange Server URL
• The Organization would like to control various things, depending on which Exchange Server the user has its mailbox on.
