Lesson 1: Overview of Exchange Server 2010 Requirements
• Discussion: Reviewing Active Directory Components
• Reviewing Active Directory Partitions
• How Exchange Server 2010 Uses Active Directory
• Reviewing DNS Requirements for Exchange Server 2010
• Preparing Active Directory for Exchange Server 2010
• Demonstration: Integration of Active Directory and Exchange Server 2010
Discussion: Reviewing Active Directory Components
Active Directory components include:
• Domains
• Forests
• Trusts
• Domain controller
• Global catalog
• Sites
• Replication
Reviewing Active Directory Partitions
Partition Type Description
Domain • All of the objects in the directory for a domain
• Replicated to all domain controllers in a domain
Configuration • Configuration information for Active Directory and applications
• Replicated to all domain controllers in the entire forest
Schema • All object types, and their attributes, that you can create in Active Directory
• Replicated to all domain controllers in the entire forest
Application • All Specific application data that the application requires
• Replicated to all domain controllers in the entire forest with a replica of the partition

Reviewing DNS Requirements for Exchange Server 2010
Exchange Server 2010 requires:
MX records to locate mail servers in other organizations
DNS Record Type Example
SRV _ldap._tcp.Contoso.com. IN SRV 0 100 389 SEA-DC1.Contoso.com
Host SEA-EX1.Contoso.com. IN A 10.10.10.10
MX MX 10 SEA-EX1.Adatum.com
Host records to locate other servers
SRV records to locate domain controllers
Preparing Active Directory for Exchange Server 2010Setup switch Description
/PrepareAD /OrganizationName:”organizationname”
• Prepares the global Exchange objects
• Creates the Exchange universal security groups in the root domain
• Prepares the current domain
/PrepareLegacy ExchangePermissions
• Required if the organization includes previous versions of Exchange Server
/PrepareSchema • Prepares the schema for the Exchange Server 2010 installation
/PrepareDomain
/PrepareDomain domainname
/PrepareAllDomains
• Prepares the domain by creating a new global group called Exchange Install Domain Servers
Demonstration: Integration of Active Directory and Exchange Server 2010
In this demonstration, you will review:
• The Exchange security groups in Active Directory
• The Exchange information stored in Active Directory
• The Exchange attributes in the Active Directory schema
Lesson 2: Installing Exchange Server 2010 Server Roles
• Overview of Server Roles in Exchange Server 2010

Overview of Server Roles in Exchange Server 2010
In Exchange Server 2010, servers are installed with specific functional roles:
• Mailbox Server role
• Edge Transport Server role
• Client Access Server role
• Unified Messaging Server role
• Hub Transport Server role

Hardware Recommendations for Combining Server Roles
You can combine all server roles, except the Edge Transport server role, on one serverYou can combine all server roles, except the Edge Transport server role, on one server
Component Recommendation
Processor cores
• Minimum: 2
• Recommended: 8
• Maximum: 24
• Plan on using half the processor cores for the mailbox server role
Memory • Recommended: 8 GB plus 2-10 MB per mailbox
• Maximum: 64 GB
You can combine server roles with Mailbox servers that are DAG membersYou can combine server roles with Mailbox servers that are DAG members
When combining server roles, reduce the maximum number of mailboxes by 20%When combining server roles, reduce the maximum number of mailboxes by 20%
Options for Integrating Exchange Server 2010 and Exchange Online Services
Exchange Online Services:
•Enables e-mail and calendar functionality hosted by Microsoft
•Enables e-mail co-existence and migration of mailboxes and global address lists
•Enables both on-premise and hosted mailboxes with Exchange Server 2010
• Is part of the Business Productivity Online solution
Infrastructure Requirements for Exchange Server 2010
Infrastructure Component
Requirements
Active Directory
• Schema master must be running Windows Server 2003 (SP2), Windows Server 2008, or Windows Server 2008 R2
• All global catalog servers must be running Windows Server 2003 (SP2), Windows Server 2008, or Windows Server 2008 R2
• Domain and forest functional levels must be at least Windows 2003
DNS • Must be configured to enable domain controller and global catalog server name resolution
Server Requirements for Exchange Server 2010Resource Requirements
Processor • Intel 64-bit architecture
• AMD64 architecture
Memory • 2 gigabytes (GB) minimum
• Additional memory required based on server role and load
Disk • 1.2 GB free disk space for Exchange Server files
• 200 megabytes (MB) free on the system drive
File System • NTFS file system for all drives
Software requirements:
• 64-bit edition of Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, or Enterprise Edition
• AD DS management tools
• Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
• Windows Remote Management 2.0
• Windows PowerShell version 2.0
• Additional components based on server roles
Considerations for Deploying Exchange Server 2010 as a Virtual Machine
• You can deploy all Exchange server roles, except Unified Messaging servers, on virtual machines running on a supported virtualization platform
• Virtualization high availability options are not recommended for Mailbox servers
• Design virtual hardware using the same criteria as physical hardware
• Consider the high-availability features in Exchange Server 2010as an alternative to highly available virtual machines
• Design the Exchange server deployment to fully utilize the server resources
Process for Installing Exchange Server 2010

Lab Scenario
You are working as a messaging administrator in Contoso Ltd. Your organization is preparing to install its first Exchange Server 2010 server. Contoso Ltd. is a large multinational organization that includes offices in Seattle, Washington, in the United States, and in Tokyo, Japan.
Contoso Ltd. does not have a previous version of Exchange Server deployed so you do not have to upgrade a previous messaging system. Before installing Exchange Server 2010, you must verify that the Active Directory environment is ready for the installation. You also must verify that all computers that will run Exchange Server 2010 meet the prerequisites for installing Exchange.
