Install the Exchange Server 2007 Management Tools on MPS01 and MPS02

In order to perform Exchange Server 2007 provisioning tasks, each Provisioning Engine server must have the Exchange Server 2007 Management Tools installed.

Procedure DWHE.96: To install Exchange Server 2007 Prerequisites on the Provisioning Engine servers

1. Log on to MPS01 as a member of the Domain Administrators group.

2. Install the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) 3.0 Update described in KB Article 907265.

3. Install Microsoft PowerShell.

   To install Windows PowerShell, follow the procedures at How to Download Windows PowerShell 1.0.

4. Install .NET 2.0 update KB926776 (download by clicking .NET 2.0 Update (x32)).

5. Repeat steps 1 - 4 on MPS02.

Procedure DWHE.97: To install the Exchange Server 2007 Management Tools on the Provisioning Engine servers

1. On MPS01, open a command prompt, and navigate to the Exchange Server 2007 installation files.
2. Run the following command: <pre IsFakePre="true" xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Setup /mode:install /roles:MT</pre>
3. Setup copies the setup files locally to the computer on which you are installing Exchange Server 2007. Setup checks the prerequisites, including all prerequisites specific to the server roles that you are installing. If you have not met all of the prerequisites, Setup fails and returns an error message that explains the reason for the failure. If you have met all of the prerequisites, Setup installs Exchange Server 2007.
4. Repeat this procedure on MPS02.
