How to Install Exchange 2007 on Windows Server 2008

In this article, I’ll go into a little more depth and walk you through installing Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 on Windows Server 2008.

Since the RTM (Release to Manufacturing) version of Windows Server
2008 has not been released yet, the installation covered in this
article was performed on Beta 3 of Windows Server 2008.

So beware, the installation may be a bit different on the RTM version.

Exchange 2007 Setup

Another thing I should point out is that the RTM version of Exchange
Server 2007 does not support installing to Windows Server 2008.

Since Windows Server 2008 was not ready for development and testing
of Exchange Server 2007 before its original release, support for the
new operating system was postponed for the release of Exchange Server
2007 Service Pack 1. Exchange Server 2007 SP1, released in September of
2007, does support installing to Windows Server 2008 as planned.

If you’ve purchased the RTM version of Exchange Server 2008, SP1 is available for download at Microsoft TechNet.

Since Exchange Server 2007 SP1 includes all the files necessary for
installing Exchange Server 2007 there is no need to perform any
slipstreaming with the RTM version. Perhaps the Exchange team released
SP1 packaged with all the Exchange 2007 installation files in an
attempt to make installing to Windows Server 2008 as simple as to
Windows Server 2003.

Preparing the Server

While the Exchange team took the liberty of taking away the need for
slipstreaming SP1, the prerequisites for installing Exchange Server
2007 on Windows Server 2008 are the most notable difference compared to
installing on Windows Server 2003.

Installing Exchange Server 2007 SP1 on Windows Server 2008 still
requires that you meet the minimum hardware, network and software
requirements outlined in the Exchange 2007 System Requirements on Microsoft TechNet.

In addition to the system requirements listed there, you will also need to have the components listed below installed:

.NET Framework version 2.0 or 3.0
Windows PowerShell
Internet Information Server 7

Depending on the Exchange Server 2007 roles being installed, the
features and role services required varies. I have listed all the
required features and role services for a typical Exchange Server 2007
installation (Hub Transport, Client Access and Mailbox server roles)
below.

Server Features

.NET Framework 3.0
Remote Server Administration Tools

Role Administration Tools

Active Directory Domain Services

Windows PowerShell

Server Roles

Web Server

Common HTTP Features

Static Content
Default Document
Directory Browsing
HTTP Errors

ISAPI Extensions

Security

Basic Authentication
Digest Authentication
Windows Authentication
Request Filtering

Static Content Compression
Dynamic Content Compression

Management

IIS Management Console
IIS 6 Management Compatibility

IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility
IIS 6 Management Console

Installing the features and roles can be accomplished with the Add Features and Add Roles
wizards or through the command prompt. You may wish to take advantage
of Windows Server 2008 intuitive new Add Features and Add Roles if you
want to be aware of what purpose each feature and role service serves.

I have written articles that cover installing both Windows PowerShell and IIS 7 with the wizards available in Take Command of Server 2008 With Windows PowerShell Part 1 and 10 Steps to Installing the Web Server Role in Windows Server 2008 so check these articles out.

Otherwise, if you just want to get the prerequisites out of the way
and on to the actual installation, you can simply enter the commands
below into a command prompt window, in the order in which they are
listed:

ServerManagerCmd -i RSAT-ADDS




ServerManagerCmd -i PowerShell




ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Server




ServerManagerCmd -i Web-ISAPI-Ext




ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Metabase




ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console




ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Basic-Auth




ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Digest-Auth




ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Windows-Auth




ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Dyn-Compression

Once you have the components outlined above installed to the server
and assuming it is joined to the appropriate internal domain, you
should be ready to start the installation.

Performing the Installation

Since a lot of you may be working with the downloaded Exchange
Server 2007 SP1 media, the installation will start off a little
different than with the RTM version on DVD.

Open the executable file you downloaded from the link in the third
paragraph of this article which should be labeled E2K7SP1EN32.exe
unless you selected a language other than English.

You should be prompted to select the path to extract the installation
files. Choose the directory you wish to extract to, then click the OK button.
Navigate to the directory you chose to extract the Exchange
installation files to, then run Setup.exe. This will open the Exchange
2007 installation start page.
As long as you installed the prerequisites outlined above, steps one through three should be disabled. Click on Step 4: Install Microsoft Exchange to begin the installation.
Click the Next button to continue past the Introduction portion of the installation.
In the License Agreement portion of the installation you must click the radio button labeled I accept the terms in the license agreement to proceed. Then click the Next button to continue.
The Error Reporting portion of the installation
is where you choose whether you wish to automatically send error
reporting information to Microsoft. Make your choice by clicking the
appropriate radio button then click Next.
The Installation Type portion of the
installation is where you can choose to perform a Typical Exchange
Server Installation or Custom Exchange Server Installation.

You can also choose the installation path from this portion. For this
example, I have chosen a Typical Exchange Server Installation and
accepted the default installation path. Click the Next button to continue.
The Exchange Organization portion of the
installation is where you can supply a name for your organization. I
have chosen to accept the default here. After you have entered your
organization name click the Next button to continue.
The Client Settings portion of the installation
is where you choose whether to create a public folder database for
clients running Outlook 2003 and earlier or Entourage.

Click the appropriate radio button for your organization then click the Next button to continue.
The Readiness Checks portion of the installation
checks that the server meets all the requirements for each Exchange
role being installed. The checks may take a few minutes to complete.

As long as the checks complete successfully, you can then click the Install button to perform the installation of Exchange Server 2007.
The Progress portion on the installation will report the progress of the installation of each Exchange component being installed.

Typically the time required for the installation will be 30 minutes to
an hour depending on the speed of the computer and the components being
installed.

When the installation completes you will be brought to the Completion
portion of the installation. From here you can choose whether to
finalize the installation with the Exchange Management Console. Click
the Finish button to complete the installation.
After completing the installation the installation start page will appear once more. From here you can click Step 5: Get Critical Updates for Microsoft Exchange to use Windows Update to install any updates for the server.

Performing the Microsoft Update on Windows Server 2008 after the
Exchange 2007 installation is where things once again get a bit
different than installing on Windows Server 2003.

If you wish you can simply close this window and run the new Windows
Update from the Windows Server 2008 Control Panel and bypass the next
step.
If you chose to use the update link from the Exchange installation
start page you will be brought to the Microsoft Update site but it will
only be to configure Windows Server 2008’s new update applet available
from the control panel.

To proceed with the update check the box labeled I accept the Terms of Use then click the Next button to continue.

Choose whether to Use the current or recommended settings then click the Install button to continue.

You will then be brought to the page that indicates that Microsoft
Update was successfully installed. Feel free to close this window as
the new Windows Update applet should run automatically.
The Windows Update applet will begin by checking for updates which may take a few minutes to complete.
When Windows Update is finished checking you will be notified how many updates are available.

From here you can choose to click View available updates to view and choose which updates to install or click the Install updates button to simply install the important updates.

After choosing to install the updates Windows Update will proceed to download and install the updates.
Finally, after the updates are successfully installed you are ready to
complete the installation process by closing the Windows Update applet
and seal the deal with a reboot of the server.
