Install Exchange Server 2013 in WindowsServer 2012Posted byBipinon August 25, 2013

Exchange Server 2013 is very different from Exchange 2010. There have been lot of changes andnew

featuresavailable in Exchange 2013. The installation process in Exchange 2013 is quite differen

frominstallation of Exchange 2010. So, in this post I will show steps to install Exchange Server 2013 in

Windows Server 2012. It is very important to go through theprerequisites of Exchange 2013before the

install. Prerequisites can be different for different scenario. In this post, I will install fresh Exchange 2013 in

Server 2013. This is done in test environment and there is no older versions of Exchange installed in our

domain. Unlike Exchange 2010, there are only two roles in Exchange 2013, mail box server role and client

access role.

prerequisites that needs to be taken care of. They are: -
