Hello everyone! We are back! I hope you have a good year, with new opportunities and very sucess. Let's start installing an Exchange Server 2016. I know that we are with Exchange 2019, but, in next posts, I will bring it. Remember, the best practice say, The N-1 CU, where N is the last. First, I recommend you to download the .net Framework and Unified Communications Managed API 4.0 Runtime Check the .net supportability matrix at: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/exchange-server-supportability-matrix-exchange-2013-help So, after checked the version, download here .Net Framework, and install the Visual C++. Before, do you already think about where you will store the Instalation, Databases, Logs and Queues? Remember, the Exchange Server use some log folder that you can not change the location. So, if you will use the same drive as the OS, please, think in some extra space. Also, Exchange depends of the Active Directory and DNS. Please, review yoru system! And do not forget the backup! Ok, now you need to mount or copy the files to a folder and run the follow commands (in cmd with elevated privileges): setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms # This command will prepare the schema of your forest. Also, you need belong to schema admins, Enterprise Admins and Domain Admins. setup.exe /PrepareAd /OrganizationName:ucsteps /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms # In this step, you will extend your Active Directory for Exchange Server. setup.exe /PrepareDomain /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms # Here, you will prepare your active directory domain. If you have more than one, you can choose how you will prepare. Setup.exe /m:Install /role:Mailbox /IacceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms # And finally, the step that will install the Exchange Server in your environment.
If all works fine, you can log on ecp. To check the internal url, run Get-EcpVirtualDirectory | fl *url*
