  2. Key Takeaways and Objectives Exchange Server 2007 deployment is simple, flexible, and intuitive!!! • Introduce core Exchange Server 2007 concepts • Provide understanding of deployment requirements • Deployments can be fully automated

  3. Agenda • Exchange Server 2007 Server Roles • Exchange Server 2007 Requirements • Topology requirements • Server requirements • Feature requirements • Exchange Server 2007 Setup • Automating Exchange Server 2007 Setup

  4. Exchange 2007 Exchange 2007 Edge Server Intranet DMZ Windows Server Exchange 2007 Windows Server Client Access HubTransport Exchange 2007 Edge Transport Unified Messaging Mailbox Server Roles

  8. Hardware Requirements • 64-bit is required for production servers • No in-place upgrade from Exchange 2003 • 64-bit Xeon processor or Pentiums with EM64T (NOT the Itanium or IA64) • Any of the AMD64 processors (Opteron, Athlon and Turion) • 32-bit is available for evaluation, but is not supported in production • System and Exchange partitions have to be formatted with NTFS file system

  9. Windows OS Configuration • Exchange 2007 can be installed onWindows 2003 SP1 or Windows 2003 R2 • Windows Components • NNTP Service must not be installed • SMTP Service does not have to be installed. (It will be disabled during Setup if found.) • Mailbox and Client Access Roles require the World Wide Web Service • Additional Components • .NET Framework 2.0* • Microsoft Management Console (MMC) 3.0* • Windows PowerShell 1.0 (aka Monad) *These are included in Windows Server 2003 R2

  10. Exchange Server Interoperability Requirements • Exchange Organization needs to be in Exchange Native Mode • Routing Group Connector is required between Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2007 • Exchange 2003 Front-ends cannot talk to Exchange Server 2007 Mailbox Server Roles • Verify Recipients meet new validation requirements

  11. Feature Requirements • Typical Installation - Smart Defaults (Mailbox, Client Access, and Hub Transport Roles) • Mailboxes are ready to be created • Users can login with OWA or Outlook • Users can send mail within the Exchange Organization • Unified Messaging Role • Edge Server Role

  12. Typical Exchange 2007 Setup Walkthrough

  13. Automating Exchange 2007 Setup

  14. Automating Exchange 2007 setup • “The way it was”– a brief reminder • Getting started with Exchange 2007 scripted setup • Intro to the Exchange 2007 answer file • Understanding success or failure of your scripted setup • Putting it all together – extended configuration and “lights out” deployments

  15. Hidden Agenda • What I want you to remember about scripting Exchange 2007 setup: • Easy to use • Trustworthy • Supported Everywhere • Dovetail: To combine or interlock into a unified whole • Exchange 2007 scripted setup combines seamlessly with other Exchange 2007 scripting concepts Dovetail

  16. “The way it was”Exchange 2000/2003 unattend mode • All about the unattend file • Specific format created by setup itself • Restrictions on allowed setup actions • First server in an org: not supported • Clustered server installs: not supported • Installs in legacy environment (5.5): not supported • Exchange 2000/2003 setup.exe return codes • No meaningful return code • Uneasy feeling from the end of the log… [15:20:02] !!!!!!!!!!Setup completed successfully! [15:20:03] CComBOIFacesFactory::QueryInterface (f:\tisp2\admin\src\udog\bo\bofactory.cxx:54) Error code 0X80004002 (16386): No interface.

  17. Getting StartedExchange 2007 setup on the console • Simple setups have simple usage • Usage is complete and available on the command line • A wealth of options = flexibility

  18. Exchange 2007 Setup on the Command Line

  20. Intro to the Exchange 2007 Answer File • What it looks like • Suspiciously like a simple text file • Format is parameter=value; or simply parameter for boolean params • How to create one • Notepad • Why you might need an answer file • Chances are you don’t • Used for advanced setup parameters, like cluster or Edge Transport role settings • Consider the “many clusters” scenario Cmsname=<name> Cmsipaddress=<ipaddress> Cmssharedstorage Cmsdatapath=<datapath>

  21. Understanding success or failureLearning to trust setup • Simple return codes • 0 for success • 1 for failure • The right data in the log • ExchangeSetup.log, found in the ExchangeSetupLogs directory of your system drive • Errors and Warnings are uniformly annotated • Success/Failure messages are unambiguous [5/25/2006 3:32:05 PM] [0] The Microsoft Exchange Server setup operation completed successfully. [5/25/2006 3:32:05 PM] [0] End of Setup

  22. Putting it all together • Exchange 2007 setup can be scripted in any and every scenario • First server install? Supported • Cluster install? Supported • Uninstall, Add/Remove, RecoverServer? Supported • “Lights out” deployment: end-to-end scripted installation and configuration Where Exchange setup ends, Exchange Management Shell begins… Dovetail

  23. Exchange 2007 “lights out” Deployment

  24. Automated Setup Summary • Easy to use • Simple usage for simple setups • Simple answer file, if you need to use it • Trustworthy • Success or failure at the command line • The right data in the log • Supported Everywhere • Every install action, from /prepareAD to cluster install • All modes of setup • Dovetails powerfully with Exchange Management Shell scripting concepts for “lights out” deployments

  25. Takeaway Exchange Server 2007 deployment is simple, flexible, and intuitive!!! • Exchange Server 2007 built on Server Roles • Windows AD only needs to be upgraded • Deployments can be fully automated
