Exchange 2010 is Microsoft's mail, calendar, and "Unified Messaging" (which includes voicemail and auto-attendants for phone calls) platform.
System Requirements for Exchange
- x86-64 based CPU (Itanium is not supported)
- Server 2008 or 2008 R2
- n * 4GB of RAM (where n is amount of roles to install)
- Page file of physical RAM size, plus 10mb for crash dumps
- At least 1.2GB of disk space to install Exchange (realistically should have a lot more, mailboxes can fill up fast)[1]
Installation Instructions
To automatically install all built-in Windows prerequisites on 2008 R2 (skipping steps 2 and most of 13), you can use this PowerShell snippet:
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
- Install .NET Framework 3.5
- For 2008 R2, you can just enable the feature in Server Manager
- For 2008, the offline installer is still available from Microsoft Download or Legacy Update
- Install PowerShell v2
- 2008 R2 already has this preinstalled
- On 2008 install Powershell and WinRM 2.0 from Legacy Update
- Insert the Exchange Server 2010 install media and run the installer
- Click
Step 3: Choose Exchange language option, then clickInstall only languages from the DVD - Click
Step 4: Install Microsoft Exchange - Read and accept the license agreement
- No point in reporting errors to MS, just leave it off
- Select
Typical Exchange Server Installation - Specify the name for your organization (do not apply split permissions)
- If you plan on using/allowing Exchange 2003 clients, select Yes for creating a public folder database
- If you would like to enable the Outlook Web App, check
The Client Access server role will be Internet-facing, then specify the domain you would like it accessible on (unless you're going to create a DNS entry afterwards, you can just point it tomachinename.domain.tld) - No point in joining CEIP, just leave it off
- The Exchange installer will now do a prerequisites check, which will likely require you to manually install components. Install those as necessary (i.e by clicking Add Role Services under Web Server), and if it needs the Office 2010 Filter Packs you can get those from Microsoft Download
- Once everything is installed, click Retry, then Next, and sit back
Once everything finishes installing and the server reboots, there are some additional tasks to do.
- To install a product key, click
Server Configuration, then on the right side clickEnter Product Key.... Otherwise the server will be in a 120-day trial mode - You'll likely need to disable IPv6 in order for Exchange to function properly. You can use the following registry key to do so:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters] "DisabledComponents"=dword:FFFFFFFF
