setting up exchange 2010, following technet article
HI all,
im just about to start setting up exchange 2010 on one of my member servers (our full domain is running 2008 with 2008 domain and forest functional levels)
im following the technet article
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125224.aspx
step one says if you are using server 2003 do... etc but it doesnt say which step to start at if you are not running 2003, where abouts in that article do i start for a 2008 domain?
ive never setup an exchange server before and is a learnign curve for me, but i want to do it myself
Cheers

im running setup /PrepareSchema, i run this on the operations master (schema master (DC1)) yes not the member server (CH-EX)?
when it refers to "setup" im guessing this means the exchange setup path?
so i would need the exchange install folders on the DC1 server?
Thanks

No you can run this from the (what will become) Exchange server.
Setup is the setup.com on the DVD
Setup is the setup.com on the DVD
Just run it from the install dvd or .iso on the exchange server.
<driveletter>:\setup /ps that is all you have to type.

Thanks MojoTech but I believe I already set that?

ok im on step 3 now which is
"E:\exchange 2010\setup" /PrepareAD [/OrganizationName: myname.net]
i got
"The parameter 'preparead' cannot have a value
Exchange Server setup encountered an error."
do i run this on the CH-EX or DC1?
"E:\exchange 2010\setup" /PrepareAD [/OrganizationName: myname.net]

Did you type it excatly like that? with the [ ] ? it drop the square brackets if so
E:\exchange 2010\setup" /PrepareAD /OrganizationName: myname.net
E:\exchange 2010\setup" /PrepareAD /OrganizationName: myname.net
awilderbeast > To be perfectly honest with you the Exchange Installation will perform all these steps for you if they haven't been done.
Exchange 2010 has much more detection in it than 2007 did.

So just make sure you have installed the pre-requisites as per the link I posted then run the DVD up, start the installation, it will show you a warning on the Organisation preparation but it will tell you that it is going to perform the steps to update the schema

You need to install the pre-requisites before you run the installer, as I mentioned in my previous post.
The scripts to install the pre-requisites can be found here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691354.aspx
Please note the different versions for Windows 2008 and Windows 2008 R2

finally got it all installed, thanks for the info too, had a read of your blog, bookmarked it so i can read some more posts at a later date
so the hub transport role, that is for more than 1 mailbox server, it decides which server to send the emails too?
or is the hub transport role still used when using 1 mailbox server?
thanks
