Pre-Installation Checklist

Make sure you have all of the following steps in place before you setup Exchange Server 2010 on WindowsServer 2008 R2 64 Bit.

For simplicity we are assuming you are setting up a small office where one machine will be used for both theActive Directory and the Exchange Server. This setup works just fine and reduces the number of machines tomaintain. If you have a larger office you may want to consider separating the Active Directory machine andthe Exchange 2010 Server.

Install Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit version

Exchange 2010 is a 64 bit application and requires 64 bit versions of Windows Server 2003 or WindowsServer 2008. You should select a computer that is capable of running the 64 bit version of Windows Server2003 or 2008. For this example, we will start with a clean installation of Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bitversion that has not had any roles installed.

After installing Windows Server 2008 R2 we set the clock and the name of the server to be "EX2010". At thispoint this server is configured to be a standalone computer with default settings.


5/38

Configure Your Static IP Address

The default installation of Windows 2008 sets your IP v4 and IP v6 addresses to use DHCP. Since we will beconfiguring this computer to be a domain controller, you must change the IP address of the computer to be a

static IP address.

To change your IP address, click on "View Network Connections" in the Server Manager screen. This willdisplay the list of active network interfaces.

Double click on your network adaptor to display the adaptors status.


6/38

Press the Properties button.

Highlight "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and then press the Properties button.

Change the radio button to "Use the following IP address" and enter an IP address you want to use for thisserver. In our example, we chose to assign this server the internal IP address "192.168.1.25". We also have

a firewall appliance that operates as a gateway at the IP address "192.168.1.1".

NOTE: It is important to include this computer in the DNS list. You should list the IP address of this computeras the first entry in the list of DNS servers. In the alternate DNS servers field, enter the IP address of a DNSserver provided by your ISP.

Press OK to save your changes.


7/38

Now you will need to modify the support for IP v6. If your network uses IP v6, then you will need to select"Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)" , press the Properties button, then enter a static address. If you arenot using IP v6, you can leave the IP v6 set to the default setting of DHCP.

NOTE: Exchange requires that IP V6 be enabled. Even if you do not use IP V6 you must leave itenabled. During the setup of Active Directory, the Active Directory Setup Wizard will check that bothIP v4 and IP v6 have static addresses. As long as the IP v4 address is static you can continue the

installation. DO NOT DISABLE IP V6 or else the Exchange Hub Transport Service will not start.

At this point you should have all IP addresses on this server configured as static IP addresses. OR you havethe IP v4 address configured as static and the IP v6 configured using DHCP. Press OK to save your changesand close the Network Connection screen.

Activate Auto Update

The next step in making this server a Domain Controller is to activate auto update. Active Directory will notinstall until this computer has auto updates active. To activate auto updates, click on the link "ConfigureUpdates" and then select the option to have Windows automatically install updates. At this time Windows willdownload updates and will most likely need to reboot your computer. Allow the updates to be applied and thecomputer to be restarted until all updates are applied before installing Active Directory. You do not want to bein the middle of installing Active Directory when an auto update needs to reboot your computer.

Add role - Active Directory Services

The process of installing Active Directory consists of two steps: the first step is to install Active Directory andthe second step is to configure your Active Directory. Once this is complete, your Windows Server will nowbe a Domain Controller.

Step 1 - Install Active Directory


8/38

At the Computer Management Screen, press the "Add Roles" link.At the Select Server Roles dialog, check/tick the option "Active Directory Domain Services".

When you select Active Directory the Select Server Roles Screen will inform you that you also need to install

the feature ".NET Framework 3.5.1". Press the "Add Required Features" button.

After acknowledging the required feature, press Next.

Active Directory Domain Services will present information about the changes it will make to your server.Review this information and press Next.


9/38

Now the installation will scan your configuration and inform you if there are any pre-requisites that you havenot fulfilled. If the Active Directory Installation presents an errors, correct these at this time and then repeatthe installation. Once the Setup program indicates that you have met all pre-requisites, then press the Installbutton to start the installation process.

The setup program will now install Active Directory on your Server.


10/38

When the installation is complete, you should see a message indicating "Installation Succeeded".Press Close to return to the Server Management Screen.

Step 2 - Configure Active Directory

At the Server Management screen you should now see that you have 1 role installed. The Active DirectoryDomain Services may indicate that it is installed but there are errors. This is because the software is installedbut not configured.


11/38

To configure Active Directory, click on the line under Roles labeled "Active Directory Domain Services". TheServer Manager will show you a page about the status of the Active Directory Role.

Click on the link "Run the Active Directory Services Installation Wizard (dcpromo.exe)". When the ActiveDirectory Domain Services Installation Wizard appears, press Next.


12/38

The Installation Wizard will present information about the version of Active directory, press Next.

Since we are assuming this Exchange Server will be the first Domain Controller, we choose "create a newdomain in a new forest". Press Next.


13/38

Enter the name of your domain. The domain name you enter here is the domain name that Exchange willassociated with all of your email. If you use a hosting company to host your Internet Domain, then you maywant to enter the name of your Internet domain with ".local". If you host your own Internet Domain then youwould enter your domain name here.

In our example, we are assuming that IGetMail.com is hosted at an Internet Hosting Company. Since we donot host IGetMail.com on this Exchange Server, we will use IGetMail.local to indicate our internal domain forIGetMail.

NOTE: Once you enter your domain name it is very hard to change it in the future, so you should takegreat care when enter this name.

Once you have decided on the name of your internal domain, that will be your Active Directory Domain andthe domain serviced by Exchange, press Next.

The Installation Wizard will now ask you about compatibility. If you plan to have domain controllers runningvarious versions of Active Directory, then you will want to chose a function level to include the lowest versionof Windows that you are using for domain controllers. Press Next.


14/38

You will be asked a similar question which is at the domain level instead of the forest level on the previousscreen. You should follow the same approach and include the function level to include the lowest version ofWindows you plan to use for domain controllers. Press Next.

The first Domain Controller needs to have a DNS server running locally. The optimal location is to start outwith having the installation wizard install the DNS server locally. Also, it will automatically make this computera global catalog server. Press Next.


15/38

You can specify where you want Active Directory to store its data. If you only have one drive in your Server,then use the defaults. If you have multiple drives, you can select which drive to use. Press Next.

Should you need to restore Active Directory in the event of a hard drive failure, you will need to boot yourServer into a special mode called "Directory Restoration Mode". Should you need to boot your computer intothis special mode, you will need to use a special password just for this restoration. You can define thispassword at this time. NOTE: This password is different than the administrator account and if youchange the administrator password this password will not change. So you will need to store thispassword forever in a safe place. Press Next.


16/38

Now the Installation Wizard will summarize the configuration that it is about to create. To start the process ofconfiguring your new Domain Controller, press Next.

The Installation Wizard will show its progress as it configures your Server. This will take a long time.

When the installation is complete, you will be shown a final screen. Press Finish.


17/38

Then restart your computer.

After restarting your computer, Windows should show you the Server Manager. You should see on theServer Manager screen that you have Active Directory and DNS Server roles installed. Also the process ofinstalling Active Directory will add the features "Group Policy Management" and "Remote ServerAdministration Tools".


18/38

Add role - Active Directory Lightweight Services

Now that have your Server configured for Active Directory, Exchange requires that you add the LightweightService. NOTE: Exchange only requires that the Lightweight services are installed. It does not require the

Lightweight Services to be configured.

Click on the link "Add Roles" and then select to add the role "Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services"and press Next.

The installation wizard will inform you that it will make the following modifications to your server. Press Next.


19/38

The installation wizard will confirm your intention, press Install to begin.

The installation wizard will show its progress.


20/38

And finally when the role has been installed, the installation wizard will show its results. Press Close and thenproceed to configure this newly installed role.

At this point your Server Manager should show you that you have the Active Directory Lightweight DirectoryServices installed. This is sufficient for Exchange. If you want to create LDS instances you are welcome to,but that task is not required by Exchange.

Add feature - Windows Process Activation Service

The next feature that Exchange needs installed is the "Windows Process Activation Service". To install thisfeature, click on the link "Add Features".


21/38

At the Select Features screen, check/tick the feature "Windows Process Activation Service".Select the items under this service and press Next.

Confirm your selections and press Install. Windows will now install this feature and when it is complete, pressClose to return to the Server Manager.


22/38

Add role - Web Server (IIS)

The next Role that Exchange needs installed is the Web Server IIS. To install this role, at the ServerManager click on "Add Roles".

At the Select Server Roles screen, check/tick the role "Web Server (IIS)" and press Next.


23/38

The Web Server IIS installation will present information about what it will perform. Press Next.

Exchange requires that several additional services be added to the default settings in IIS.

In addition to the default settings, check/tick the following additional services:

Security - Basic Authentication

Security - Windows Authentication

Security - Digest Authentication

Performance - Dynamic Content Compression

Management Tools - IIS 6 Management Compatibility (include all items under this service)

Press Next.


24/38

The Web Server installation wizard allows you to verify your selections. Press Install to begin.

The installation wizard will now install IIS on your Exchange Server.


25/38

When IIS is installed, press Close to return to the Server Manager.

Add feature - PowerShell

Now you are ready to install the next feature that Exchange requires as a prerequisite: "Windows PowerShell". At the Server Manager click on the link "Add Feature".

Select the Feature "Windows Power Shell" and press Next.


26/38

At the installation confirmation screen, press Install to begin the process of installing this feature.When the Power Shell feature is installed, press Close to return to the Server Manager.

We have just 2 more items to meet Exchange's Requirements.

Enable TCP Port Sharing

When you install Windows Server 2008, the default setup disables a service that is needed by Exchange.You will need to enable this service.


27/38

At the Server Manager screen - expand "Configuration" in the left hand panel. Then click on "Services". Themiddle of the screen will show the installed Services. Scroll to the Service named "Net.Tcp Port SharingService".

Right Click on the Service "Net. Tcp Port Sharing" and choose Properties.

Change the Startup from Disabled to Automatic.
