  5. Make sure Active Directory and DNS are installed and configured • Get appropriate Active Directory permissions • Be a member of an Active Directory domain • Make sure that computers in the same Exchange organization are also in the same Active Directory forest • Install Exchange 2003 before upgrading to Windows Server 2003 family • Run Windows 2000 SP3 or later or Windows Server 2003 family • Run ForestPrep once • Designate an Exchange Full Administrator account • Create an Exchange administrative group structure before installing Exchange • Run DomainPrep to prepare your domains for Exchange • Install and configure the appropriate services Environment Requirements Checklist for Exchange Server 2003

  7. Microsoft Exchange Messaging and Collaboration Services • Microsoft Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes • Microsoft Exchange Connector for Novell GroupWise • Microsoft Exchange Calendar Connector • Microsoft Exchange System Management Tools • Microsoft Exchange 5.5 Administrator configure Administrator Server Components That Can Be Configured During Setup

  8. Your instructor will show a presentation that demonstrates how to install Exchange Server 2003 Demonstration: How to Install Exchange Server 2003

  9. install install Use it when you: install • Install additional Exchange 2003 computers • Install Exchange 2003 System Management Tools • Run DomainPrep Exchange Server 2003 Setup CD plus .ini file What Is an Unattended Installation? Unattended installation An installation of Exchange 2003 that proceeds and completes without any prompting from a user

  10. .ini .ini .ini Install Install Install How to Perform an Unattended Installation of Exchange Server 2003 1 Create initialization file Administrator Exchange is installed on designated computers 3 2 Run Setup using the .ini file

  11. How to Verify That Installation of Exchange Server 2003 Was Successful Test Active Directory Users and Computers Send a test message Test Exchange System Manager Use these utilities to troubleshoot, if required: 1 2 3 4 • Services MMC • Event Viewer and the setup log file • Windows Explorer Exchange Server 2003 Administrator

  12. Lesson: Installing Exchange Server 2003 in a Clustered Environment • Multimedia: How Exchange Server 2003 Uses Windows Clustering • Hardware Requirements Checklist for an Exchange Server 2003 Cluster • Types of Exchange 2003 Cluster Configurations • Recommended Exchange Server 2003 Cluster Configuration • Considerations for Using Clusters • How Failover Occurs on an Active/Active Cluster vs. an Active/Passive Cluster • Permissions Required to Install and Configure an Exchange Virtual Server • Demonstration: How to Install Exchange Server 2003 in a Clustered Environment

  13. Multimedia: How Exchange Server 2003 Uses Windows Clustering This presentation showshow Exchange Server 2003 can use Windows Clustering to improve fault tolerance for your Exchange hardware

  14. Node 1 C: Network Adapter Local Disk Disk Shared Disk Node 2 C: Local Disk Hardware Requirements Checklist for an Exchange Server 2003 Cluster To use a cluster, you must have: • Two or more nodes • Drives in each node from which operating system starts • A separate mass-storage controller for shared disk • A shared disk • Two network adapters in each node

  15. Active/Active Configuration Active/Passive Configuration EVS EVS EVS Types of Exchange Server 2003 Cluster Configurations

  16. Active/passive configurations: EVS EVS EVS • Scale as well as stand-alone Exchange servers • Are more reliable • Have better failover performance • Will support clusters with up to eight nodes Recommended Exchange Server 2003 Cluster Configuration Active/Passive Configuration

  17. In active/passive clusters, Exchange Virtual Servers must equal one less than the number of nodes • Exchange 2003 is limited to four storage groups per server, which can create problems with the active/active configuration • For both cluster types, proactively monitor virtual memory performance Considerations for Using Clusters

  18. Resource Group Resource Group Active/active configuration Node A EVS Disk Resource System Attendant IP Address Network Name EVS Disk Resource System Attendant IP Address Network Name When one of the nodes fails The surviving node takes over the failed EVS and continues to service client computers When the node is restored to service, the EVS is failed back Public Network Private Network EVS EVS EVS EVS Client Node B How Failover Occurs on an Active/Active Cluster vs. an Active/Passive Cluster Preference List Node B Active/passive configuration Active/active configuration Node A The cluster service checks the preference list and moves the failed EVS to the passive node on the list. The passive node starts servicing client computers When the node is restored to service, the EVS is failed back One or more nodes of the Exchange server cluster host active EVSs while one or more nodes remain passive. When the node is restored to service, the EVS is failed back The surviving node takes over the failed EVS and continues to service client computers When one of the nodes fails Public Network Private Network Client Node B

  19. Permissions Required to Install and Configure an Exchange Virtual Server Permissions

  20. Demonstration: How to Install Exchange Server 2003 in a Clustered Environment Your instructor will show a presentation that demonstrates how to install Exchange Server 2003 in a clustered environment

  21. Review the scenarios and determine possible solutions with a partner Discuss your solutions with the rest of the class 1 2 Practice: Installing Exchange Server 2003 in a Clustered Environment

  23. Management Tools and Utilities for Administering Exchange • Exchange System Manager • Active Directory Users and Computers • Cluster Administrator • ADSI Edit • LDP utility • Active Directory Schema snap-in • IIS snap-in • DNS snap-in

  24. Platforms: To use Windows XP: • Windows 2000 Server SP3 • Windows 2000 Professional SP3 • Windows Server 2003 family • Windows XP SP1 • The computer must belong to a domain in the Active Directory forest where the Exchange Servers exist • Must be running SP1 or later • The Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack must be installed • The SMTP service must be installed Platforms from Which You Can Administer Exchange

  26. Demonstration: How to Install Exchange System Manager Your instructor show a presentation that will demonstrate how to install Exchange System Manager

  27. Practice How to Install and Run Windows Support Tools To install Windows Support Tools: To run ADSI Edit: Open the Adsiedit.msc console file by using Windows Explorer or use Add/Remove Snap-in in MMC to add the ADSI Edit snap-in to any .msc file At a command prompt, type x:\support\tools\suptools.msi Follow the steps in the wizard 1 2 To run the LDP utility: Type Ldp.exe at the command prompt To install Active Directory Schema: Register its DLL Add the snap-in to any .msc file 1 2

  28.
