Exchange 2010 Prerequisites

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP2

Topic Last Modified: 2012-05-07

This topic provides the steps for installing the necessary Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (SP2) or later or Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system prerequisites for all Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 server roles. It also includes the steps for installing the Windows 7 and Windows Vista operating system prerequisites for the Exchange management tools.

  • Make sure that the functional level of your forest is at least Windows Server 2003, and that the schema master is running Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) or later. For more information about the Windows functional level, see Managing Domains and Forests.
  • The full installation option of Windows Server 2008 with SP2 or later or Windows Server 2008 R2 must be used for all servers running Exchange 2010 server roles or management tools.
  • For all server roles other than the Edge Transport server role, you must first join the computer to the appropriate internal Active Directory forest and domain.

If you're installing the Mailbox server role and you intend the server to be a member of a database availability group (DAG), you must be running the Enterprise Edition of Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2. The Standard Edition doesn't support the features needed for DAGs. You can't upgrade Windows when Exchange is installed on the server.
Bb691354.note(en-us,EXCHG.141).gifNote:
If you're installing the Mailbox server role, the Task Scheduler must be enabled and running. In addition, if the Mailbox server will be a member of a DAG and host replicated databases, it’s required that the script is scheduled and run automatically. For more information about the script, see “CheckDatabaseRedundancy.ps1 Script” in the Monitoring High Availability and Site Resilience topic.
