Exchange 2010 Pre-Req Setup (Updated)

Posted by Justin

A couple of months back I wrote a post on how to automatically install pre-requisites for Exchange 2010 on a Windows 2008 (including R2) server.

I specifically talked about a method for doing this with ServerManagerCmd.exe, which is included with Windows Server 2008. However, in Windows Server 2008 R2, ServerManagerCmd is deprecated and the recommended method is to use PowerShell (as pointed out by my buddy, Josh).

The Add-WindowsFeature cmdlet in PowerShell provides the capability to add individual Windows features directly from a script. You can use Get-WindowsFeature to obtain a detailed list of available features, ones that are installed, and their “official” name if you wish to install them via PowerShell.

To install the required pre-reqs for Exchange 2010, from a PowerShell prompt, be sure to add the Server Manager module so the Add-WindowsFeature and Get-WindowsFeature cmdlets are available.

Import-Module ServerManager

Once you have imported the module, then you can use Add-WindowsFeature to take care of the rest.

Add-WindowsFeature -Name RSAT-ADDS-Tools, RPC-over-HTTP-proxy, NET-HTTP-Activation, Web-Dyn-Compression, Web-Windows-Auth, Web-Digest-Auth, Web-Basic-Auth, Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console, Web-Metabase, Web-ISAPI-Ext, Web-Server -Concurrent

You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.

Hey - nice blog, just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. I'm currently using Wordpress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?

Hi. this is kind of an "unconventional" question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you've got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this ...so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I'll just keep working on it one day at a time.

When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
Thanks!

Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it's driving me mad so any assistance is very much appreciated.
