Exchange 2010: Getting Started
* Exchange 2010 RTM typical installation on a single Windows Server 2008 R2 Std domain controller:
NOTE: If you use the WS08R2 Server Manager GUI to install IIS and W3SVC... you may still receive errors saying that the metabase database cannot be accessed. The solution is to use PowerShell scripts to install those prerequisites as described in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691354(EXCHG.140).aspx
Summary of the steps:
- Download and install Office 2007 System Converter: Microsoft Filter Pack from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=60C92A37-719C-4077-B5C6-CAC34F4227CC&displaylang=en
- Right click Start/Accessories/Windows PowerShell/PowerShell, Run As Admin, and execute 3 following commands:
+ Import-Module ServerManager
+ 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
+ Set-Service NetTcpPortSharing -StartupType Automatic
and then you can run setup. It took me 20min on my laptop.
Keep in mind that "setup /prepareAD" will be performed automatically and then no Exchange 2007 can be added.
