  12. Demo Typical Exchange 2007 Setup Walkthrough

  13. Automating Exchange 2007 setup • “The way it was” – a brief reminder • Getting started with Exchange 2007 scripted setup • Intro to the Exchange 2007 answer file • Understanding success or failure of your scripted setup • Putting it all together – extended configuration and “lights out” deployments

  14. “The way it was”Exchange 2000/2003 unattend mode • All about the unattend file • Specific format created by setup itself • Restrictions on allowed setup actions • First server in an org: not supported • Clustered server installs: not supported • Installs in legacy environment (5.5): not supported • Exchange 2000/2003 setup.exe return codes • No meaningful return code • Uneasy feeling from the end of the log… [15:20:02] !!!!!!!!!!Setup completed successfully! [15:20:03] CComBOIFacesFactory::QueryInterface (f:\tisp2\admin\src\udog\bo\bofactory.cxx:54) Error code 0X80004002 (16386): No interface.

  17. Intro to the Exchange 2007 Answer File • What it looks like • Suspiciously like a simple text file • Format is parameter=value; or simply parameter for boolean params • How to create one • Notepad • Why you might need an answer file • Chances are you don’t • Used for advanced setup parameters, like cluster or Edge Transport role settings • Consider the “many clusters” scenario Cmsname=<name> Cmsipaddress=<ipaddress> Cmssharedstorage Cmsdatapath=<datapath>

  18. Putting it all together • Exchange 2007 setup can be scripted in any and every scenario • First server install? Supported • Cluster install? Supported • Uninstall, Add/Remove, RecoverServer? Supported • “Lights out” deployment: end-to-end scripted installation and configuration

  19. Automated Setup Summary • Easy to use • Simple usage for simple setups • Simple answer file, if you decide to use it • Trustworthy • Success or failure at the command line • The right data in the log • Supported Everywhere • Every install action, from /prepareAD to cluster install • All modes of setup • Fully integrated with Exchange Management Shell scripting concepts for “lights out” deployments

  20. Exchange 2007 Unified Messaging Architecture and setup

  21. Exchange Server 2007 UM Problems being addressed • Voice and e-mail exist as separate inboxes hosted on separate servers accessed through the desktop for e-mail and the phone for voicemail • Fax messages come to stand-alone fax machines and require personnel to monitor • Users and administrators have to manage their communications from multiple locations with multiple sets of tools

  22. Unified Messaging Feature Summary • Voice Messaging and Fax Services • Call Answering – a seamless part of Exchange and completely integrated with Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and Outlook Web Access (no touching the desktop required) • Fax Receiving – Direct to your inbox just like voicemails. • Outlook Voice Access – You can call in and hear everything in your inbox.
