    How to Install Exchange Server 2010 Beta

    Now that Exchange Server 2010 is available to download and try in Beta format, I wanted toprovide a quick blog on how to install the Exchange Server 2010 Beta.

    Installing Exchange Server 2010 begins with installing and preparing the operating system.Exchange Server 2010 can be installed only on Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition orEnterprise Edition. If you plan on trying out database availability groups and mailboxdatabase copies, you will need to use the Enterprise Edition of Windows Server 2008. Formore information about the requirements for Exchange Server 2010, see Exchange 2010System Requirements.

    Once the operating system has been installed, several pre-requisites must beinstalled. These include:

    Operating system components, including RSAT-ADDS (needed onserver that will perform schema updates), Web-Server, Web-Metabase,Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console, Web-ISAPI-Ext, NET-HTTP-Activation, Web-Basic-Auth, Web-Digest-Auth, Web-Windows-Auth, Web-Dyn-Compression, RPC-over-HTTP-proxy, Web-Net-Ext and Net-Framework.You can install all of these components at one time (e.g., for theMailbox, Client Access and/or Hub Transport Server roles) by runningthe following command:

    ServerManagerCmd -i RSAT-ADDS Web-Server Web-MetabaseWeb-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console Web-ISAPI-Ext NET-HTTP-ActivationWeb-Basic-Auth Web-Digest-Auth Web-Windows-Auth Web-Dyn-Compression RPC-over-HTTP-proxy Web-Net-Ext -Restart

    For more information about the prerequisites for Exchange 2010,including those for the Edge Transport server role, see Exchange 2010Prerequisites.

    You might have noticed that Failover-Clustering is not listed as a pre-requisite. There is a feature in Exchange Server 2010 called a databaseavailability group that does use Windows failoverclustering technologies. However, thanks to another Exchange Server2010 feature called incremental deployment, you no longerinstall failover clustering before installing Exchange. If you decide touse a database availability group, you simply create one, and then addMailbox servers to it. When you add a Mailbox server to a DAG, we

    install the Windows failover clustering feature and automaticallycreate a cluster for you. So while you do need to have Exchangeinstalled on an operating system that supports Windows failoverclustering, you do not install the failover clustering feature manually,or ahead of time, and you don't manually create a cluster. It makes

    deploying highly available mailbox databases quick and easy.

    Exchange Server 2010 also supports installing the above pre-requisitesby using an Answer File with ServerManagerCmd, and answer files areincluded in the \AMD64\Scripts folder. To use them, you runServerManagerCmd -ip . For example:

    ServerManagerCmd -ip Exchange-CAS.XML

    I recommend that you don't use the XML Answer Files for Exchange-Typical or Exchange-MBX as is, because in the Beta build it mistakenly

    includs the Failover-Clustering feature, which does not need to beinstalled before Exchange is installed. This is a remnant from theAnswer Files we had in Exchange 2007 that we've since removed.

    Next, are the software pre-requisites, which include:o Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5o Windows Remote Management (WinRM) 2.0 CTP 3o Windows PowerShell 2.0 CTP 3o Update from KB 951725o Update from KB 950888o Update from KB 951116

    o Update from KB 952664o Update from KB 953290o Update from KB 958178

    See Exchange 2010 Prerequisites for information about and links to otherpre-requisites that might apply to your environment (e.g., for Edge Transportand Unified Messaging server roles, and for environments that use SystemCenter Operations Manager).

    Once the above pre-requisites have been installed, check Microsoft Updatefor any additional updates that might be needed. Make sure the system has

    been rebooted after installing any updates which require a reboot.

    Now you're ready to install Exchange 2010. You can perform the installationusing the GUI or command-line version of Setup. In this example, I'll use theGUI.

    I'll start by launching Setup.exe from the AMD64 folder. This launches theExchange 2010 splash screen:

    As you can see, the Exchange 2010 splash screen is very similar to the one we had inExchange 2007. Any needed pre-requisites which are detected, are greyed out, indicatingthey have been installed, and that you can proceed to the next step. In this case, I canproceed directly to Step 4: Install Microsoft Exchange.

    I click that link and it launches the GUI version of Exchange Setup, beginning with a file copyprocess, and the initialization of Setup.

    Once Setup is initialized and the file copy process has completed, the Introduction pageappears:

    Immediately, you might notice some differences from Exchange Server 2007. First, theCustom Exchange Server Installation option no longer lists any clustered mailbox serverroles. That's because clustered mailbox servers don't exist in Exchange Server 2010.Exchange 2010 includes a new feature called Incremental Deployment. This feature enablesto you configure high availability and site resilience for your mailbox database afterExchange has been installed.

    Second, the default path for the Exchange Server installation is new and different. If I chooseCustom Exchange Server Installation, the Server Role Selection page appears:

    If I choose Typical Exchange Server Installation instead of Custom Exchange ServerInstallation and click Next, or once I've completed the Custom Exchange Server Installationchoices and clicked Next, the Exchange Organization page appears:

    As you can see, the readiness checks don't take much time at all. Once all readiness checkshave successfully passed, the Readiness Check page will look similar to this:

    At this point, the system and server are ready for the installation to begin. I click Install tostart the installation of Exchange 2010 Mailbox, Client Access and Hub Transport serverroles, as well as the Exchange Management tools (Exchange Management Console andExchange Management Shell).

    While Setup is progressing, a Progress page will be appeared:

    Once Setup has completed successfully, the Completion page will appear:

    12/36

    As you can see, installing Exchange 2010 is quick and easy. On my system, Setup took justunder 10 minutes to complete.

    I prefer to reboot the system before finalizing the installation. Uncheck the Finalizeinstallation using the Exchange Management Console checkbox, and click Finish tocomplete the Setup process. This returns Setup to the splash screen. Click Close to closethe splash screen, and when the Confirm Exit dialog appears:

    ClickYes.

    Then, reboot the server. OK, technically, you don't need to reboot the server, but I doanyway.

    The installation of Exchange Server 2010 is now complete. Check out the Exchange 2010TechCenter for documentation and other resources for Exchange 2010.

    Prerequisites

    Before installing Exchange Server 2010, here are the prerequisites to be installed in all the

    servers

    Now we have done the initial preparation. The forest and domain are ready to have the first

    Exchange 2010 server installed.

    2. Install first Exchange 2010 server

    We will do that on server"Bugis" which will have Client Access Role, Transport Role and

    Mailbox Role. But we will eventually remove the Mailbox role and deploy DAG on server

    "Outram", "Redhill" and "Dover". There is a reason behind why I choose to have 3 mailboxservers to form a DAG. That will be discussed in my future articles soon.

    There are additional components needed before Exchange installation.,

    As my first Exchange server is a combination all the 3 roles mentione above, I used the

    following command (refer the below screen capture)

    ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Server Web-Metabase Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console Web-Basic-Auth

    Web-Windows-Auth Web-Net-Ext Web-Digest-Auth Web-Dyn-Compression NET-HTTP-

    Activation Web-ISAPI-Ext RPC-over-HTTP-proxy RSAT-ADDS

  • 8/14/2019 How to Install Exchange Server 2010 Beta

    18/36

    Here is the break down of what you will need to install in role level.

    Client Access Role

    ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Server Web-Metabase Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console Web-Basic-Auth

    Web-Windows-Auth Web-Net-Ext Web-Digest-Auth Web-Dyn-Compression NET-HTTP-

    Activation Web-ISAPI-Ext RPC-over-HTTP-proxy RSAT-ADDS

    Transport Role

    ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Server Web-Metabase Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console Web-Basic-Auth

    Web-Windows-Auth Web-Net-Ext RSAT-ADDS

    Mailbox Role

    ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Server Web-Metabase Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console Web-Basic-AuthWeb-Windows-Auth Web-Net-Ext RSAT-ADDS

    *For Mailbox Role, you have to install another component call "MSFilter Pack"

    After the installation, you are required to perform restart server.

    A few days ago the beta of Exchange Server 2010 has been released. As Exchange hasalways been of special interest of me, I jumped at the opportunity to install it and check it out. So

    will 2010 be the year we will make better contact with our own mail?

    (for those sci-fi geeks out there, this was a reference to a A.C. Clark novel)

    First of I used my own home computer with virtualization, but 2GB is just not enough (note:

    today I bought a 4GB memory kit, hehehe). But my employergracefully let me use several of

    our educational computers. These were Dell XPS420, with an Intel Quad Core Q6600 processor

    and 6GB of RAM. Excellent gaming machines, but also excellent Exchange test servers :-)

    For the setup I installed a Windows Server 2008 Domain Controller and another Windows 2008

    server for a member server Exchange Server 2010 installation. Both fully updated as of 21 April

    2009. I decided to let the forest and domain functional level at 2003.

    The first attempt to install reminded me of the beta install of Exchange 2007. A lot of updates,pre-requirements and such before you could even think of starting setup.exe. I followed

    instructions fromMicrosoft and Sander Berkouwer (dutch). As I have installed a lot of Exchange

    2007 servers, I use a batch file to install the roles and features. You Mind you, this is for aMailbox, Client Access and Hub Transport role server all-in-one.

    Online Mailbox moves without disabling access for the user at the start ofmoving items (pleasant for users with very large mailboxes);

    o Not yet tested, but I saw some options that would suggest this ability. Runs only on Windows Server 2008 (perhaps even R2?).

    o Confirmed! I do not think that Exchange 2010 will be 2008R2 exclusive,I even think this would be unwise.

    What was I hoping for?

    Opening of specific folders of others users via OWA, without having fullcontrol;

    o Not tested User customizable group calendars in OWA (preferably the same as in

    Outlook);o Not tested

    Centralized configuration of Document folders in OWA (i.e. homefolder as afavorite);

    o The Document folderbutton isnt even active in OWA Edge transporter support for Windows Core server (yeah, not really

    something the Exchange team can do something about);o Not tested/checked.

    Better Public Folder Management;o Not tested, but define better. One could argue that the ultimate PF

    management would be the delete button

    Interesting items and Concluding

    Well, no real surprises actually. This version is more evolution than revolution like Exchange

    2000 and Exchange Server 2007 were compared to their predecessors. But there are enough

    improvements warranting at least a closer examination.

    The Database Availability Group is probably the biggest change (and with it the end of StorageGroups etc.). I havent read or otherwise know anything about it, but this will probably be

    another great addition to achieving higher groupware availability.

    An interesting addition is Microsoft Exchange On-Premises in the Exchange Management

    Console. So are the terms Federation Trusts, Sharing Relationships and Sharing Policies.

    Definitely going to check those out.

    The upgrades on OWA are the next big thing, threaded conversations, more self administration

    (user information, but also distribution groups). Its clear however that it is definitely not finished

    as some buttons arent present yet (Documents, Public Folder to name a few).
