New Exchange 2010 installation guide templates

  • Article

I get asked if we have any step by step Exchange 2010 deployment templates/documents available anywhere on the web. The nice part about these guides are they are in Word format so you can build your own production build out documentation for your Exchange 2010 deployment.  The guide pack contains build info for all roles and DAG config.

Download the newly released step by step install docs for Exchange 2010 here.

Here is a sample of the type of Step by Step from the CAS NLB Installation Word template:

"The values used in NLB must be the same across all nodes in the NLB cluster.  The values specified here will ensure that the Windows Network Load Balancing array can load-balance HTTPS (TCP443), IMAP4 (TCP143 and TCP993), POP3 (TCP110 and TCP995), RPC Endpoint Mapper (TCP135), Address Book service (TCP7576), and RPC Client Access (TCP7575).

Note:

The instructions use TCP7575 and TCP7576 for the Address Book and RPC Client Access services, but you can use any TCP high ports that are available within the environment.

1.   Connect to the server via Remote Desktop, and then log on with an account that has been delegated local administrative access.

2.   Install Network Load Balancing for your operating system:

a.   Windows Server 2008 SP2   Open an administrative command prompt window and run the following command:

ServerManagerCmd.exe -i NLB

b.   Windows Server 2008 R2   Open an elevated Windows PowerShell console, and run the following commands:

Import-Module ServerManager Add-WindowsFeature NLB

3.   Click Start>Administrative Tools, and then right-click Network Load Balancing Manager.

4.   Click Cluster-New.

5.   In the New Cluster wizard, enter the local server’s computer name, click Connect and then select the appropriate network connection.

6.   Click Next.

7.   In the Host Parameters section, verify the host’s IP address and subnet mask.

8.   Click Next.

9.   In the Cluster IP Address section, click Add and enter:

a.   IP Address

b.   Subnet Mask

10.  Click Next.

11.  In the Cluster Parameters section, enter in the Full Internet Name (for example, mail.contoso.com) that will be used by the cluster and make sure Unicast is selected."
