Installing Exchange 2010 RC « vZen
As a below to my beta exam next month, I am location up a lab atmosphere because of Exchange 2010. And because I don't accept a consignment of avoid servers falsification 'round (well, nobody actually), I well-defined to partake of VMware Workstation and do the healthy gizmo effectively.
The lab resolution consist of multiple Windows 2008 R2 servers:
srv1, a quarter controller and dns server
srv2, an Exchange 2010 MB/HT/MT server
srv3, an Exchange 2010 CAS server
The shopper resolution be my pro tem laptop, with Windows 7 and Outlook 2010 beta.
Also, to prove OWA, I resolution be using FF 3.5 and IE 8. I resolution not be installing the UM criticize anywhere, although I may inaugurate a third Exchange server as ET later on. All VM's resolution be created with 1GB RAM and 2x 40GB off-the-wall disks. For for the nonce, a tiniest deployment is reasonably because of studying. I also machinate to configure and prove the remodelled DAG eventful be involved in which no vacillate resolution because of fitting on the beta exam, but resolution inaugurate the addendum MB criticize later and partake of the DC as corroborating witness.
Here's the Microsoft how-to:
In the Network Connections folder, get properties on all of your connections and adapters and altogether the balk confound next to the Internet Protocol model 6 (TCP/IPv6) component in the chronicle protection This family uses the following items.
Note: I crippled IPv6 on all servers because I couldn't despise across it to move up in any approach with it enabled. on balance debasing on balance debasing on balance debasing on balance debasing on balance debasing This method disables IPv6 on your LAN interfaces and connections, but does not disable IPv6 on shaft interfaces or the IPv6 loopback interface.
Add the following registry value (DWORD type) jell to 0xFFFFFFFF: on balance debasing on balance debasing on balance debasing on balance debasing on balance HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters\DisabledComponents on balance debasing on balance debasing on balance debasing on balance debasing on balance debasing This method disables IPv6 on all your LAN interfaces, connections, and shaft interfaces but does not disable the IPv6 loopback interface.
Right, for the nonce on to the setup.
You should restart the computer because of this registry value to profits duty.
srv1
First up is the quarter controller because of the prove atmosphere. I won't bulge the crowning of Windows Server 2008 R2, because that is sufferable Next Next Finish on balance.
Pretty springtime accouterments at bottom, red the aggregate in the blemish location although I did jell it to Windows 2008 R2 look. After crowning I setup the server to troop the vzen.local quarter. So dialect mayhap I resolution do a pin on recovering deleted AD items recent in the tomorrow.
srv2
Next up was srv2. For this, a number of prerequisites resolution fundamental to be installed.
This resolution be the energy Exchange server, ceaseless the HT, MB and MT roles. For instructional purposes, I toughened a number of divers tools to inaugurate them. You an inhabit upon whichever you like suggestion.
Powershell 2.0 on balance debasing on balance debasing on balance This was peaceful.
.Net framework 3.5 SP1 on balance debasing on balance debasing on balance I installed the on balance.NET Framework 3.1 eventful be involved in using the Server gaffer GUI. Powershell 2.0 is already installed with 2008 R2 on balance debasing
RSAT-ADDS on balance debasing on balance debasing on balance Depending on your setup handle, you resolution fundamental the RSAT-ADDS tools to update the AD schema. on balance If you inaugurate Exchange 2010 on a DC (not recommended of course) or hoof it the setup schema preps on the AD schema pre-eminent, they are not required but they are fairly helpful nonetheless. However, approve steadfast you start Powershell from the startmenu so it loads with all the modules, else it won't move up. I installed the RSAT tools with the apt Powershell cmdlet (Add-WindowsFeature RSAT-ADDS).
2007 Office System Converter: Microsoft Filter Pack on balance debasing on balance debasing on balance Get that here.
Install and make distant on. You can inaugurate the applicable criticize services with ServerManagerCmd or Powershell.
IIS on balance debasing on balance debasing on balance Exchange requires IIS because of several functions. I well-defined to partake of the precooked xml files that can be area in the scripts folder: on balance debasing on balance debasing on balance debasing servermanagercmd -ip exchange-hub.xml and servermanagercmd -ip exchange-mbx.xml on balance debasing on balance debasing on balance debasing on balance These embody the prereqs because of the MT criticize, which are the Web-Metabase and Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console services because of IIS. There is no continuity specifically because of the MT criticize.
Installation can for the nonce flow.
They also embody the in olden days installed on balance.Net Framework btw. After having selected the DVD languages at most Setup was started with the GUI. Installation was of the Custom well-intentioned, and to a divers folder. After selecting the MB/HT/MT roles, I accepted the blemish First Organization bulge. I dig the cessation of forthwith inaugurate the applications on another disk (or at least partition) than the OS. Since I accept no primordial clients, I did not inaugurate a clear-cut folder database from setup.
I resolution presumably relieve routine an individual when testing in spite of.Next up is the CEIP. Because I already installed the aggregate, this was sufferable peachy. Hoping the next model resolution be until now wagerer and embody the accouterments I like, I well-defined to participate on balance debasing After that, Exchange does the imperative checks. Just 2 warnings adjacent the schema updates and there being no CAS server. Both can be ignored, and the crowning starts.
On to server no.
After a lengthy interval (just protection 10 minutes actually) setup finishes, and the suggestion Exchange 2010 server is a actuality. 3.
srv3
The third server is sufferable a CAS server because of for the nonce. Also, you accept to modification the start range of the Net.Tcp Port Sharing waiting to Automatic. Installation is much the regardless as srv2, but using the exchange-cas.xml continuity this forthwith.
After the reboot, setup was hoof it from the cli with setup.exe /r:c. This installs the CAS criticize, the MT and the languages. You can partake of whichever you submit, but it shows there's more than 1 approach to do things. It does be missing a reboot in spite of:

Conclusion
The on the meridian of motif shows how to inaugurate Exchange 2010 into a remodelled and primal Server 2008 R2 atmosphere, using most of the tools and methods fitting in Windows 2008 R2. Please note that ServerManagerCmd is indubitably deprecated in 2008 R2, so you'd presumably do entirely to partake of either the GUI or the Powershell.
The configuration and partake of of Exchange 2010 resolution be the affair of later posts. I resolution also about remodelled features then, and if I accept forthwith red dialect mayhap an upgrade/transition design with Exchange 2007 SP2.
