42 Chapter 2 • Installing Exchange Server 2007 The Exchange 2007 Bootstrapper (a.k.a. the splash screen) will now appear and show you whether the required software has been properly installed on the server. As mentioned earlier in this chapter, you need to install .NET Framework 2.0, Microsoft Management Console (MMC) 3.0, and Windows PowerShell 1.0 before you can install Exchange Server 2007. If all three components have been properly installed, each link will be grayed out, allowing you to continue the installation process with step 4, installing Microsoft Exchange. If this is not the case, as in Figure 2.9, which shows we’re missing the PowerShell component, you must click the link for each missing component in each step to download and install the needed Exchange 2007 prerequisites. (Since we used Windows Server 2003 R2 in our test environment, MMC 3.0 was already installed). If you use Windows Server 2003 R2, we recommend that you install the .NET Framework 2.0 component via Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs | Add/Remove Windows Components because this is a standard Windows component included in the Windows Server 2003 R2 edition (see Figure 2.8). Figure 2.8 Adding the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Component Installing Exchange Server 2007 • Chapter 2 43 Setup will copy the necessary fi les and soon after begin initializing. After initialization completes, you will be taken to the fi rst step in the Installation Wizard, the Introduction page. Click Next (see Figure 2.10). Next you will be presented with and need to accept the terms of the end-user license agreement (EULA). We know that reading the license agreement is not among the most exciting things in the world, but you should at least spend a couple of minutes skimming through it. When you have done so, select I accept the terms in the license agreement, and then click Next. You now have the option of enabling error reporting, and we highly recommend you do so to help improve the quality, reliability, and performance of the Exchange Server 2007 product. Microsoft is very serious about every single error report it collects, and since all of us are interested in seeing the best messaging and collaboration product getting better and better, why not enable error reporting?

Installing Exchange Server 2007 • Chapter 2 45 We have now reached the step where we need to choose the kind of Exchange roles we want to install and run. For the purpose of this chapter, we will do a Typical Exchange Server Installation, which installs the Hub Transport, Client Access, and Mailbox server roles. The Exchange Management Tools (Exchange Management Console and Shell) will, of course, also be installed when we choose this installation type. Click Typical Exchange Server Installation and then Next, as shown in Figure 2.12. When you have enabled (or for some reason disabled) error reporting, you can click Next (see Figure 2.11).

The default path is C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server, but best practice is to install the Exchange Server fi les on a dedicated partition instead of on the System partition. If you plan to deploy either a single Exchange 2007 server role or one including the Unifi ed Messaging server or Edge Transport server roles, you should choose the Custom Exchange Server Installation type, which allows you to choose the specifi c roles you require in your environment.
