Preparing Windows Server for Exchange 2010

Hey guys,

Before the installation of Exchange 2010 we have to make sure our system answers Microsoft's perquisites.

The next step is preparing our Server by installing a few Roles and Features - Installing one by one is an effort which can be done by three PowerShell commands.

First, open PowerShell (If you don't have- Install it) and type the following commands:

1. Import-Module ServerManager

2.  Add-WindowsFeature NET-Framework,RSAT-ADDS,Web-Server,Web-Basic-Auth,Web-Windows-Auth,Web-Metabase,Web-Net-Ext,Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console,WAS-Process-Model,RSAT-Web-Server,Web-ISAPI-Ext,Web-Digest-Auth,Web-Dyn-Compression,NET-HTTP-Activation,RPC-Over-HTTP-Proxy -Restart

3. Set-Service NetTcpPortSharing -StartupType Automatic

4. Download the Filter Pack Here

Finally, install Exchange.
