for use with IGetMail. Note that for this document we are assuming you are installing Exchange 2010 on
Windows Server 2008 R2 64 Bit.
Pre-Installation Checklist
o
Pre-Installation Checklist
Make sure you have all of the following steps in place before you setup Exchange Server 2010 on Windows
Server 2008 R2 64 Bit.
For simplicity we are assuming you are setting up a small office where one machine will be used for both the
Active Directory and the Exchange Server. This setup works just fine and reduces the number of machines to
maintain. If you have a larger office you may want to consider separating the Active Directory machine and
the 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 Windows
Server 2008. You should select a computer that is capable of running the 64 bit version of Windows Server
2003 or 2008. For this example, we will start with a clean installation of Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit
version 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 this
point this server is configured to be a stand alone computer with default settings.
To change your IP address, click on "View Network Connections" in the Server Manager screen. This will
display the list of active network interfaces.
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 this
server. 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 computer
as the first entry in the list of DNS servers. In the alternate DNS servers field, enter the IP address of a DNS
server provided by your ISP.
Press OK to save your changes.
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 are
not 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 it
enabled. During the setup of Active Directory, the Active Directory Setup Wizard will check that both
IP 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 have
the IP v4 address configured as static and the IP v6 configured using DHCP. Press OK to save your changes
and 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 not
install until this computer has auto updates active. To activate auto updates, click on the link "Configure
Updates" and then select the option to have Windows automatically install updates. At this time Windows will
download updates and will most likely need to reboot your computer. Allow the updates to be applied and the
computer to be restarted until all updates are applied beforeinstalling Active Directory. You do not want to be
in the middle of installing Active Directory when an auto update needs to reboot your computer.
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.
Now the installation will scan your configuration and inform you if there are any pre-requisites that you have
not fulfilled. If the Active Directory Installation presents an errors, correct these at this time and then repeat
the installation. Once the Setup program indicates that you have met all pre-requisites, then press the Install
button to start the installation process.
The setup program will now install Active Directory on your Server.
When the installation is complete, you should see a message indicating "Installation Succeeded".
Press Close to return to the Server Management Screen.
To configure Active Directory, click on the line under Roles labeled "Active Directory Domain Services". The
Server 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 Active
Directory Domain Services Installation Wizard appears, press Next.
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 new
domain in a new forest". Press Next.
Enter the name of your domain. The domain name you enter here is the domain name that Exchange will
associated with all of your email. If you use a hosting company to host your Internet Domain, then you may
want to enter the name of your Internet domain with ".local". If you host your own Internet Domain then you
would enter your domain name here.
In our example, we are assuming that IGetMail.com is hosted at an Internet Hosting Company. Since we do
not host IGetMail.com on this Exchange Server, we will use IGetMail.local to indicate our internal domain for
IGetMail.
NOTE: Once you enter your domain name it is very hard to change it in the future, so you should take
great care when enter this name.
Once you have decided on the name of your internal domain, that will be your Active Directory Domain and
the domain serviced by Exchange, press Next.
The Installation Wizard will now ask you about compatibility. If you plan to have domain controllers running
various versions of Active Directory, then you will want to chose a function level to include the lowest version
of Windows that you are using for domain controllers. Press Next.
You will be asked a similar question which is at the domain level instead of the forest level on the previous
screen. You should follow the same approach and include the function level to include the lowest version of
Windows 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 out
with having the installation wizard install the DNS server locally. Also, it will automatically make this computer
a global catalog server. Press Next.
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 your
Server into a special mode called "Directory Restoration Mode". Should you need to boot your computer into
this special mode, you will need to use a special password just for this restoration. You can define this
password at this time. NOTE: This password is different than the administrator account and if you
change the administrator password this password will not change. So you will need to store this
password forever in a safe place. Press Next.
Now the Installation Wizard will summarize the configuration that it is about to create. To start the process of
configuring 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.
After restarting your computer, Windows should show you the Server Manager. You should see on the Server
Manager screen that you have Active Directory and DNS Server roles installed. Also the process of installing
Active Directory will add the features "Group Policy Management" and "Remote Server Administration Tools".
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.
The installation wizard will confirm your intention, press Install to begin.
And finally when the role has been installed, the installation wizard will show its results. Press Close and then
proceed to configure this newly installed role.
At this point your Server Manager should show you that you have the Active Directory Lightweight Directory
Services 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 this
feature, click on the link "Add Features".
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, press
Close to return to the Server Manager.
At the Select Server Roles screen, check/tick the role "Web Server (IIS)" and press Next.
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:
Management Tools - IIS 6 Management Compatibility (include all items under this service)
Press Next.
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.
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.
Right Click on the Service "Net. Tcp Port Sharing" and choose Properties.
Click on the link "Download Files Below". Then press the "Download" button next to the File Name
"FilterPackx64.exe".
When you have completed the Filter Pack installation you are now ready to install Exchange 2010.
Now select the language option that is appropriate for your environment.
After selecting your language option you are ready to being the installation.
Click on the link "Install Microsoft Exchange."
The Exchange Server 2010 setup wizard will present information about the task it will perform, press Next.
You can choose to participate in error reporting if you wish, press Next.
Since this is Exchange Server is intended to be our only Exchange server, we will chose the typical
installation which installs all of the components to make this Exchange receive, store and send email. Select
"Typical Exchange Server Installation" and press Next.
Enter the name of your organization, typically this corresponds to your company name or domain name.
Press Next.
If you intend to use Outlook 2003 clients to connect to this Exchange Server, then chose Yes to provide
compatibility with these clients, then press Next.
Exchange will now ask what you want to specify for the Internet facing side of Exchange. In our example,
using IGetMail we would create the Internet facing side of Exchange as mail.igetmail.com.
Next Exchange Setup will ask if you want to join the Customer Experience Program.
Exchange will now verify that all prerequisites are met. If there are any items that Exchange needs, it will
inform you at this time. If the prerequisites have all been met, then press Install to begin the installation.
When the Exchange Server 2010 installation wizard completes, it will show the results of installing each
component within Exchange Server. You should see all components with a green check mark.
Press Finish and your Exchange Server should now be ready to use.
When Exchange completes its installation, the Exchange System Manager will appear. The Exchange
System Manager will guide you through several post installation tasks.

If you do not have an SSL certificate from a third party SSL provider, then Uncheck / Untick the option
"Offer Basic authentication only after starting TLS". By default Exchange will not allow users to
authenticate until you have an SSL certificate. Unchecking / Unticking "Offer Basic authentication only
after starting TLS," allows Exchange to offer Authenticated login over standard SMTP.
When you configure IGetMail, you will need to specify a Windows user that meets these two requirements.
Commonly, the Administrator account does not work because it does not have a mailbox and a standard
Windows account is normally not a member of the Exchange Server group. To solve this you can either give
the administrator a mailbox, or in our example below we created a Windows user, made this Windows user a
member of the "Exchange Servers" groups, and then created a mailbox for the user. In our example this new
Windows user is named "IGetMail".
