How to setup Exchange server 2013 on Windows 2012 R2

Standard

Scenario

Consist of 3 servers:

  1. AD server
  2. Mailbox role server
  3. CAS role server (Client Access Server)

*Use Windows server 2012R2 Std. installed on all server.

 

AD server (Active Directory Server)

Preparing and setting up AD

First, add role and feature “Active Directory Domain Services”

Promote AD by use command: dcpromo

Active Directory preparation can occur as part of the installation of the first Exchange Server 2013 server, you can also run the Active Directory preparation as a separate task beforehand on a 64-bit server running Windows Server 2008 or higher.

Because the Active Directory preparation requires the RSAT-ADDS tools I am running it on the domain controller in my test lab.

Alternatively, you can install the tools on a member server to run Exchange 2013 Active Directory preparation.

For Windows Server 2012, in PowerShell run:

%CODE1%

And prepare schema

%CODE2%

If you are installing Exchange Server in the AD forest for the first time run the following Exchange 2013 setup command to prepare Active Directory:

%CODE3%

Note: if your organization name contains spaces then it must be enclosed in quotes as shown above.

And Reboot  AD server!!

 

 

CAS role server

Prepare CAS role

Run the following command to install the required Windows components:
