These are the steps to prepare our Schema, AD, and domain using command-line: 1. Open Command Prompt and go to the root directory of Exchange Server 2010 installation files. 2. To prepare the Schema, we must have SchemaAdmins permissions, and run the following command: Setup /PrepareSchema, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 3. Time to create the Exchange Organization, we can accomplish that running the following command: Setup /PrepareAD /OrganizationName:<Your-Organization-Name>, as shown in Figure 2.

4. The last step is to prepare the domain. The general rule to follow is to prepare the domain when we will have an Exchange Server or mailbox enabled users in the designated domain. The following command can be used to prepare the current domain: Setup /PrepareDomain, as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3 Now that we created the Exchange Organization we can install a server using command line, using the following syntax: Setup /Mode:Install /Roles:<Possible values are: Mailbox, HubTransport, ClientAccess, UnifiedMessaging, EdgeTransport, and/or ManagementTools>

Exchange Server Roles
Exchange Server 2010 introduces the concept of DAG (Database Availability Groups) that is a combination of CCR (Cluster Continuous Replication) and SCR (Standby Continuous Replication) and this new feature will integrate better the Exchange Server high availability solution and the operating system cluster component. Another change is that now the mailbox server role can be highly available and shared with other roles such as CAS and Hub Transport. Because of these reasons we do not have more Active Clustered Mailbox role and Passive Clustered Mailbox Role options to choose during the Server Role Selection, as shown in Figure 4. Note: SCC (Single Copy Cluster) and LCR (Local Continuous Replication) no longer exist in Exchange Server 2010.

Installing Exchange Server 2010
After installing all pre-requisites we can start the installation using the setup wizard. If you are not worried about replication and your account has all required permissions such as SchemaAdmins, with Enterprise Admins and Domain Admins groups you can run just the GUI setup. During the first deployment, all steps that we have done in the previous section will be executed as part of the first exchange server installation process. Keep in mind that the Organization has already been created in the previous step and we would not see a page asking for the Organization name during the following setup wizard. Here are the steps required to install Exchange Server 2010 using the Setup GUI: 1. Open Exchange Server 2010 installation source files and double-click on Setup.exe 2. Initial page of Exchange Server 2010 installation (Figure 4) opens. Here, we can install the pre-requisites that we already covered (.NET Framework 3.5, Windows Remote Management 2.0 and PowerShell v2), and our next step will be the Exchange Server 2010 installation. Lets click on Step 4: Install Microsoft Exchange.

Let us click on Custom Exchange Server Installation and click on Next (Figure 5). Note: We can also define where the Exchange Server installation files will be located, in this beta version, the default location is C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14

10. Server Role Selection page - As we saw in the first article, we do not have the Active/Passive Clustered Mailbox Server role in the selection. Just to answer a few questions that may arise on this screen regarding the CAS/HUB in a mailbox cluster, the answer is yes, we can have the three roles installed on the same server and also have High availability through DAG (Database Availability Group) feature. After selecting the desired roles, click on Next (Figure 06).
Figure 6 11. Client Settings page - If you still have Outlook 2003 or Entourage clients (clients that use Public Folders), click on Yes and click on Next. Note: If you select yes, the Public Folder database will be created during the installation. If you select No and you want to enable support for Outlook 2003 and Entourage afterwards, you can easily create a Public Folder and associate it to the mailbox stores. 12. Customer Experience Improvement Program - We can include our Exchange organization in the customer experience improvement program, Microsoft will collect information on how your Exchange Server 2010 servers are being used and it will help

Figure 9 Exchange Server 2010 has now been successfully installed and we now have tons of new features to test. Let us go over to the Exchange Management Console and look at: Organization, Server and Recipient information using a new feature of Exchange Server 2010. The first difference that you may notice is when you open the Exchange Management Console is an extra item in the Microsoft Exchange and Organization Configuration. This new item is called Microsoft Exchange On-Premises. Here you will find series of articles on what this feature is about. In order to cut a long story short, the Microsoft Exchange On-Premises is a tool that will manage mailboxes in the Microsoft Online Services and other forests. For now, let us click on the Microsoft Exchange On-Premises item and click on the Gather Organization Information item located in the Toolbox Actions. In the Collect Organizational Health Data wizard, leave the default settings and click on Next (Figure 10). In the following page, click Gather, and then Finish.
