Installing Exchange Server 2010 Pre-Requisites on Windows Server 2008
Exchange Server 2010 can be installed on either Windows Server 2008 64-bit with Service Pack 2, or Windows Server 2008 64-bit R2, and either Standard or Enterprise editions.
In this post I’ll walk through installing the pre-requisites for Exchange Server 2010 on Windows Server 2008. If you’re looking for the pre-requisites for Windows Server 2008 R2 go here instead.
First, install the following software components.
- .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1
- .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update
- Windows Remote Management and Windows PowerShell 2.0
- 2007 Office System Converter: Microsoft Filter Pack (for Hub Transport and Mailbox Server roles only)
- (adding by TheOrange) Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Packs
- (adding by TheOrange) install RAST-ADDS（AD DS 管理单元和命令行工具）
Add-WindowsFeature RSAT-ADDS
install IIS 7.5 以及 IIS6 元数据兼容性（IIS6 Metabase）组件
Add-WindowsFeature Web-Server
Add-WindowsFeature Web-Basic-Auth
Add-WindowsFeature Web-Metabase
ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Server Web-Metabase Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console Web-Basic-Auth Web-Windows-Auth Web-Net-Ext Web-Digest-Auth Web-Dyn-Compression NET-HTTP-Activation Web-ISAPI-Ext RPC-over-HTTP-proxy RSAT-ADDS - Login user must be an Enterprise Admin
Run the following from an elevated command prompt.
C:\>sc config NetTcpPortSharing start= auto
Next we need to install the operating system components. The Exchange source files contain a series of ServerManagerCmd.exe answer files in XML format that can be used to install the operating system pre-requisites for each of the server roles.
Each file relates to a specific Exchange 2010 deployment scenario.
- exchange-all.xml – all server roles
- exchange-base.xml – only the requirements for Forest and Domain prep operations
- exchange-cadb.xml – Central Admin Database role
- exchange-cas.xml – Client Access Server role
- exchange-eca.xml – Central Admin role
- exchange-edge.xml – Edge Transport Server role
- exchange-hub.xml – Hub Transport Server role
- exchange-mbx.xml – Mailbox Server role
- exchange-typical.xml – Typical Exchange server (Client Access, Hub Transport, and Mailbox Server roles)
- exchange-um.xml – Unified Messaging role
For example, here is the contents of the exchange-cas.xml file.
Execute any of the answer files using ServerManagerCmd.exe and the -inputPath parameter (that can be shortened to -ip). Here I am installing the pre-requisites for a “Typical” Exchange 2010 server.
C:\Admin\Exchange 2010\scripts>servermanagercmd -ip exchange-typical.xml

If you want the restart to happen automatically add the -restart option to the command.

The server is now ready for installation of Exchange Server 2010.
