Microsoft Exchange 2010 Installation

Exchange Server 2010 InstallationInstall the Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system prerequisites

1. On servers that will host the Hub Transport or Mailbox server role, install the Microsoft Filter

Pack.

2. On the Start Menu, navigate to All Programs, then Accessories, then Windows PowerShell.

Open an elevated Windows PowerShell console, and run the following command:

Import-Module ServerManager

3. Use the Add-WindowsFeature cmdlet to install the necessary operating system components:

a. For a server that will have the typical installation of Client Access, Hub Transport, and

the Mailbox role:

Add-WindowsFeature NET-Framework,RSAT-ADDS,Web-Server,Web-Basic-Auth,Web-

Windows-Auth,Web-Metabase,Web-Net-Ext,Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console,WAS-Process-

Model,RSAT-Web-Server,Web-ISAPI-Ext,Web-Digest-Auth,Web-Dyn-Compression,NET-

HTTP-Activation,RPC-Over-HTTP-Proxy -Restart

b. For a server that will host the Client Access, Hub Transport, Mailbox, and Unified

Messaging server roles:

Add-WindowsFeature NET-Framework,RSAT-ADDS,Web-Server,Web-Basic-Auth,Web-

Windows-Auth,Web-Metabase,Web-Net-Ext,Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console,WAS-Process-

Model,RSAT-Web-Server,Web-ISAPI-Ext,Web-Digest-Auth,Web-Dyn-Compression,NET-

HTTP-Activation,RPC-Over-HTTP-Proxy,Desktop-Experience -Restart

c. For a server that will host the Edge Transport role:

Add-WindowsFeature NET-Framework,RSAT-ADDS,ADLDS -Restart

4. On servers that will have the Client Access Server role installed, after the system has restarted,

log on as an administrator, open an elevated Windows PowerShell console, and configure the

Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service for Automatic startup by running the following command:

Set-Service NetTcpPortSharing -StartupType Automatic





These are the steps to prepare our Schema, AD, and domain using command-line:

1. Open Command Prompt and go to the root directory of Exchange Server 2010

installation files.

2. To prepare the Schema, we must have SchemaAdmins permissions, and run the

following command: Setup /PrepareSchema, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1

3. Time to create the Exchange Organization, we can accomplish that running the following

command: Setup /PrepareAD /OrganizationName:<Your-Organization-Name>, as

shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2

mailto:[email protected]





4. The last step is to prepare the domain. The general rule to follow is to prepare the

domain when we will have an Exchange Server or mailbox enabled users in the

designated domain. The following command can be used to prepare the current

domain: Setup /PrepareDomain, as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3

Now that we created the Exchange Organization we can install a server using command line,

using the following syntax:

Setup /Mode:Install /Roles:<Possible values are: Mailbox, HubTransport, ClientAccess,

UnifiedMessaging, EdgeTransport, and/or ManagementTools>





Exchange Server Roles

Exchange Server 2010 introduces the concept of DAG (Database Availability Groups) that is a

combination of CCR (Cluster Continuous Replication) and SCR (Standby Continuous Replication)

and this new feature will integrate better the Exchange Server high availability solution and the

operating system cluster component. Another change is that now the mailbox server role canbe highly available and shared with other roles such as CAS and Hub Transport. Because of

these reasons we do not have more Active Clustered Mailbox role and Passive Clustered

Mailbox Role options to choose during the Server Role Selection, as shown in Figure 4.

Note: SCC (Single Copy Cluster) and LCR (Local Continuous Replication) no longer exist in

Exchange Server 2010.





Installing Exchange Server 2010…

After installing all pre-requisites we can start the installation using the setup wizard. If you are

not worried about replication and your account has all required permissions such as

SchemaAdmins, with Enterprise Admins and Domain Admins groups you can run just the GUIsetup. During the first deployment, all steps that we have done in the previous section will be

executed as part of the first exchange server installation process. Keep in mind that the

Organization has already been created in the previous step and we would not see a page asking

for the Organization name during the following setup wizard. Here are the steps required to

install Exchange Server 2010 using the Setup GUI:

1. Open Exchange Server 2010 installation source files and double-click on Setup.exe

2. Initial page of Exchange Server 2010 installation (Figure 4) opens. Here, we can install

the pre-requisites that we already covered (.NET Framework 3.5, Windows Remote

Management 2.0 and PowerShell v2), and our next step will be the Exchange Server

2010 installation. Let’s click on Step 4: Install Microsoft Exchange.

Figure 4

4. Introduction page - A welcome page talking about Exchange Server 2010, click on Next.





5. Language File Locations page - We are going to use the English language, just accept

default settings and click Next.

6. Language Pack Confirmation page - We have not chosen any language, click on Next.

7. License Agreement page - In order to install Exchange Server 2010 the License

Agreement must be accepted. If you are okay with the license agreement click on I

accept the terms in the license agreement and click Next.8. Error Reporting page - If you want the Microsoft Exchange team to send automatically

generated error reports through HTTPS, click on Yes and then click Next.

9. Installation Type page - Like Exchange Server 2007 we have a decision to make: Typical

installation which includes CAS/HUB and Mailbox, or Custom Exchange Server

Installation where we can select which role(s) will be installed. Let us click on Custom

Exchange Server Installation and click on Next (Figure 5).

Note:

We can also define where the Exchange Server installation files will be located, in this

beta version, the default location is C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14

Figure 5





10. Server Role Selection page - As we saw in the first article, we do not have the

Active/Passive Clustered Mailbox Server role in the selection. Just to answer a few

questions that may arise on this screen regarding the CAS/HUB in a mailbox cluster, the

answer is yes, we can have the three roles installed on the same server and also have

High availability through DAG (Database Availability Group) feature. After selecting the

desired roles, click on Next (Figure 06).

Figure 6

11. Client Settings page - If you still have Outlook 2003 or Entourage clients (clients that use

Public Folders), click on Yes and click on Next.

Note:If you select “yes”, the Public Folder database will be created during the installation. If

you select “No” and you want to enable support for Outlook 2003 and Entourage

afterwards, you can easily create a Public Folder and associate it to the mailbox stores.

12. Customer Experience Improvement Program - We can include our Exchange

organization in the customer experience improvement program, Microsoft will collect

information on how your Exchange Server 2010 servers are being used and it will help





improve the product features. You can select an industry that best represents your

company. When this is done, click on Next. (Figure 7).

Note:

This option can be enabled/disabled using Exchange Management Console afterwards.

Figure 7

13. Readiness Checks page - If you have forgotten any operating system requirement or any

hotfix that should be applied, this is the page that is going to show you what you have to

do in order to complete the pre-requisite installation before installing the actual

product. As soon as you have all selected roles “green” you will be good to go.

Installation will commence when Install is clicked (Figure 8).





Figure 8

14. Completion page - We can check all roles that have been installed on this machine, and

we can see that the first item was Organization Preparation where the domain/forest

was prepared during the setup to support Exchange Server 2010 (Figure 9).





Figure 9

Exchange Server 2010 has now been successfully installed and we now have tons of new

features to test. Let us go over to the Exchange Management Console and look at: Organization,

Server and Recipient information using a new feature of Exchange Server 2010.

The first difference that you may notice is when you open the Exchange Management Console

is an extra item in the Microsoft Exchange and Organization Configuration. This new item is

called Microsoft Exchange On-Premises. Here you will find series of articles on what this feature

is about. In order to cut a long story short, the Microsoft Exchange On-Premises is a tool that

will manage mailboxes in the Microsoft Online Services and other forests. For now, let us click

on the Microsoft Exchange On-Premises item and click on the Gather OrganizationInformation item located in the Toolbox Actions. In the Collect Organizational Health Data

wizard, leave the default settings and click on Next (Figure 10). In the following page, click

Gather, and then Finish.





Figure 10

We can now click on the Finalize Deployment tab. Here, we will be able to see a summary of

our Organization, Servers and Recipients, as show in Figure 11. For each section there is a link

to redirect us to the right place in the menu on the left. So, with just a few clicks you can see

data from your entire organization in a single view.





Figure 11

Moving on, we will now click on Post-Installation Tasks tab and we will see three links that will

open an Internet page at Microsoft.com with best practices for deployment finalization, end-to-

end scenario tasks and additional post installation tasks.

Now, let us click on the last tab which is Community and Feedback (Figure 12). Here we will be

able to see the recent posts on MSExchange Team blog and articles on Microsoft TechNet. We

can configure the Customer experience Improvement Program where we can assign whichservers from our organization are going to join the Customer Experience Improvement

program.
