step by step installation of exchange 2010 on win 2008 r2

Prerequisites

Before installing Exchange Server 2010, here are the prerequisites to be installed in all the servers

1. Net Framework 3.5
2. Powershell 2.0 CTP 3
3. Windows Remote Management

The above three components must be installed regardless of which role you wish to install.
Step by Step
1. Prepare your forest and organization in Active Directory
First you need to do the Schema preparation. Since this is a fresh new setup in the lab, I will perform the preparation on domain controller

Run Setup from the directory where your Exchange 2010 installation files are located. Here is the cmdlets

Setup /PrepareSchema or Setup /ps

*If you are running the prep process on the computer which is member of the forest or domain, and the OS is Windows Server 2008, you need to install the following component before executing the prep.

ServerManagerCmd -i RSAT-ADDS

Below screen capture shows that its completed.

Next, you will need to prep the domain and organization. Here is the cmdlet

Setup /p /on:SG or Setup /PrepareAD /OrganizationName:SG (where SG is my organization name in the Lab)

Now we have done the initial preparation. The forest and domain are ready to have the first Exchange 2010 server installed.
2. Install first Exchange 2010 server
We will do that on server "Bugis" which will have Client Access Role, Transport Role and Mailbox Role. But we will eventually remove the Mailbox role and deploy DAG on server "Outram", "Redhill" and "Dover". There is a reason behind why I choose to have 3 mailbox servers to form a DAG. That will be discussed in my future articles soon.
There are additional components needed before Exchange installation.,
As my first Exchange server is a combination all the 3 roles mentione above, I used the following command (refer the below screen capture)

ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Server Web-Metabase Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console Web-Basic-Auth Web-Windows-Auth Web-Net-Ext Web-Digest-Auth Web-Dyn-Compression NET-HTTP-Activation Web-ISAPI-Ext RPC-over-HTTP-proxy RSAT-ADDS

Here is the break down of what you will need to install in role level.
Client Access Role

ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Server Web-Metabase Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console Web-Basic-Auth Web-Windows-Auth Web-Net-Ext Web-Digest-Auth Web-Dyn-Compression NET-HTTP-Activation Web-ISAPI-Ext RPC-over-HTTP-proxy RSAT-ADDS

Transport Role

ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Server Web-Metabase Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console Web-Basic-Auth Web-Windows-Auth Web-Net-Ext RSAT-ADDS

Mailbox Role

ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Server Web-Metabase Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console Web-Basic-Auth Web-Windows-Auth Web-Net-Ext RSAT-ADDS

*For Mailbox Role, you have to install another component call "MSFilter Pack"
After the installation, you are required to perform restart server.

There are some updates & fixes need to be applied in specific.

Client Access Role
KB951725, KB950888, KB952664, KB953290
Transport Role
KB951725, KB950888, KB952664
Mailbox Role
KB951725, KB950888, KB952664

Now we are truly ready for the installation. I will not talk about installation using UI, because I prefer using command line.
Execute the command as shown in the screen capture below.

Here are the definitions of the parameters

/m = /mode
/r = /role, /roles
H = Transport or you can use HT
C = Client Access or you can use CA
M = Mailbox or you can use MB

Just hit "Enter" and sit back enjoy your coffee or newspaper. :-)

Voila, you have now completed the installation and enjoy. (below are the two screenshots of new Exchange Management Console and OWA after installation)

Service 'MSExchangeTransport' failed to reach status 'Running' on this server.

Aparently, this normally happens when you disable IPv6 in Local Area Connection.
This is due to the behavior of IPv6 in Windows Server 2008, when you disable IPv6 in Local Area Connection on Windows 2008 server.

The following error was generated when: “$error.Clear(); if ($RoleStartTransportService) { start-SetupService -ServiceName MSExchangeTransport }”, generated the following error: “Service ‘MSExchangeTransport’ failed to reach status ‘Running’ on this server.”

After doing lot of troubleshooting and searching on the net, found that this is happening due to IPV6, and installation needs IPv6 to be disabled in your local area connection on the system. After disabling my setup went smoothly, follow the below instructions to disable IPv6 from your system.
To completely disable IPv6 on a Windows Server 2008-based system, follow these steps:
1. Open Registry Editor.
2. Locate the following registry subkey:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters
3. In the details pane, click New, and then click DWORD (32-bit) Value.
4. Type DisabledComponents, and then press ENTER.
5. Double-click DisabledComponents, and then type 0xffffffff in Hexadecimal or 4294967295 in Decimal.
If setup still gives error, remove IPv6 entry from “hosts” file %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc

then enable ip6 from network by changing adapter settings. 

enable windows remote managemetn on win2008 r2

Assuming the remote server is all set up and prepared to enter production, first, open Server Manager on the remote server.
Click on the "Configure Server Manager for Remote Management" link.
Select the "Enable remote management of this server from other computers".
Click "Ok".

The server's firewall will automatically be configured to allow the relevant traffic in.
How do you connect to the remote server?
On the computer you wish to use as the management machine (running either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows & with RSAT), open Server Manager.
Right-click on the Server Manager item and select "Connect to Another Computer".

In the Connect to Another Computer window, type the name or browse to the server you wish to connect to.

Expand Organization Configuration > Hub Transport > Send Connectors > Right click the connector > Select Remove (or if you are changing to another server select properties > Source Server > Change).

Allow someone else to manage your mail and calendar

This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange Server 2000, Exchange Server 2003, or Exchange Server 2007 account. Most home and personal accounts do not use Microsoft Exchange. For more information about Microsoft Exchange accounts and how to determine which version of Exchange your account connects to, see the links in the See Also section.
Similar to having an assistant help you manage your incoming paper mail, you can use Microsoft Outlook to allow another person, known as a delegate, to receive and respond to meeting requests or responses and to send e-mail messages on your behalf. You can also grant additional permissions that allow your delegate to read, create, or have full control over items in your Exchange mailbox.
Delegate Access is most commonly used between a manager and his or her assistant, where the assistant (delegate) is responsible for processing the manager's incoming meeting requests or e-mail messages and coordinating the manager's schedule. This article assumes that scenario for explaining the feature; however, Delegate Access can be used between peers.

About Delegate Access

Two Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 users who both use an Exchange account in the same organization can share their Exchange folders with each other. Folder sharing is one of the collaborative features of Exchange. When you grant access to your Outlook folders to another Outlook user, you can control whether the delegate has read-only or more advanced permissions. By default, items that you mark as private cannot be accessed by anyone else.
 Important   You should not rely on the Private feature to prevent other people from accessing the details of your appointments, contacts, or tasks through programmatic methods or by using other e-mail programs.
Delegate Access is a more advanced feature than just sharing your Outlook folders. If you want to grant additional permissions, such as allowing a delegate the ability to create e-mail messages or respond to meeting requests on your behalf, you must use Delegate Access.
 Notes 

• As the manager, your mail must be delivered to your mailbox on the Exchange server, not to a Personal Folders file (.pst) on your computer.
• You and the delegate must use the same version of Office Outlook.

When a delegate has Send on Behalf permissions, the delegate can compose an e-mail message and enter the manager's name in the From box. Recipients of the e-mail message will see the text Delegate Name on behalf of Manager Name next to From.
 Note   There is an advanced Exchange feature that allows one or more people to be granted Send As permissions for another Exchange mailbox. This allows someone to send a message as if he or she is the owner of the mailbox. Send As permissions can be used with or without Delegate Access. When Send As permissions are enabled, the recipient will see only the manager's name next to From. An Exchange or Microsoft Windows administrator must configure this option. This scenario is more common where there is a shared Exchange mailbox, such as a staff member who sends e-mail messages to customers from a shared Exchange mailbox and not his or her own Exchange account.
Exchange administrator instructions to enable Send As permissions
 Tip   To determine whether a delegate has Exchange Send As permissions or only Outlook Delegate Access Send on Behalf permissions, ask the delegate to create a new message and send it to his or her own e-mail account. Make sure the delegate enters the name for the other mailbox in the From box, for example, the manager's name. When the message is received, if both names appear in the From box along with the text "on behalf of," the delegate has only Outlook Delegate Access Send on Behalf permissions.
As the person granting permission, you determine the level of access that the delegate has to your folders. You can grant a delegate permission to read items in your folders or to read, create, change, and delete items. By default, when you add a delegate, the delegate has full access to your Calendar and Tasks folders. The delegate can also respond to meeting requests on your behalf.
If you want to allow the delegate to see all of the messages in your Inbox, you must grant additional permissions. Instructions for granting permissions are included in the Turn on Delegate Access section.
If you grant someone access to your Exchange folders, that person has access to all items in the folders except those marked private. Instructions for allowing delegates to view private items are included in the Choose items that cannot be viewed by a delegate section. Items in subfolders are not available to the delegate unless you change the sharing permissions on the subfolder or you create a new subfolder. New subfolders inherit the folder access permissions of the parent folder.

Turn on Delegate Access

A delegate automatically receives Send on Behalf permissions. This means your delegate can do the following:

• Respond to a meeting request sent to you, the manager.
• Receive meeting request responses sent to you, the manager.
• Compose and send an e-mail message that, when received, will have Delegate Name on behalf of Manager Name next to From.

By default, the delegate can read only the meeting requests and responses sent to the manager. The delegate does not have access to read any other messages in your Inbox.

1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the Delegates tab, and then click Add.

If the Delegates tab or the Add button is missing

3. Type the name of the person whom you want to designate as your delegate, or search for and then click the name in the search results list.

 Note   The delegate must be a person in the Exchange Global Address List.

4. Click Add, and then click OK.
5. In the Delegate Permissions dialog box, you can accept the default permission settings or select custom access levels for Exchange folders.

If a delegate needs permission to work with meeting requests and responses only, the default permission settings, including Delegate receives copies of meeting-related messages sent to me, is sufficient. You can leave the Inbox permission setting at None. Meeting requests and responses will go directly to the delegate's Inbox.

 Note   By default, the delegate is granted Editor (can read, create, and modify items) permission to your Calendar folder, because after the delegate responds to the meeting on your behalf, the meeting is automatically added to your Calendar folder.

Descriptions of delegate permission levels

6. To send a message to notify the delegate of the changed permissions, select the Automatically send a message to delegate summarizing these permissions check box.
7. If you want, select the Delegate can see my private items check box.

 Important   This is a global setting that affects all of your Exchange folders, including all Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Notes, and Journal folders. You cannot allow access to private items in only one folder.

8. Click OK.

 Note   Messages sent with Send on Behalf permissions include both the delegate's and manager's names next to From. When a message is sent with Send As permissions, only the manager's name appears. See the About Delegate Access section for more information about Send As permissions.

Change permissions for your delegate

1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Delegates tab.

The Delegates tab is missing

2. Click the name of the delegate for whom you want to change permissions, and then click Permissions.

 Note   If you want to remove all Delegate Access permissions, click Remove and skip the remainder of these steps.

3. Change the permissions for any Outlook folder that the delegate has access to.
4. To send a message to notify the delegate of the changed permissions, select the Automatically send a message to delegate summarizing these permissions check box.

 Note   If you want copies of meeting requests and responses that you receive to be sent to a delegate, make sure the delegate is assigned Editor (can read, create, and modify items) permission to your Calendar folder, and then select the Delegate receives copies of meeting-related messages sent to me check box.

Choose items that can't be viewed by a delegate

If you have given permissions to a delegate so that he or she can access your Outlook folders, you can hide personal information in appointments, meetings, tasks, and contacts. Open each personal item, and in the Options group, click Private.
If you want a delegate to see your private items, do the following:

1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Delegates tab.

The Delegates tab is missing

2. In the list, click the name of the delegate to whom you want to give permission to see your private appointments.
3. Click Permissions.
4. Select the Delegate can see my private items check box.

 Important   You should not rely on the Private feature to prevent other people from accessing the details of your appointments, contacts, or tasks. To make sure that other people cannot read the items that you marked as private, do not grant them Reviewer (can read items) permission to your Calendar, Contacts, or Tasks folder. A person who is granted Reviewer (can read items) permission to access your folders could use programmatic methods or other e-mail programs to view the details of a private item. Use the Private feature only when you share folders with people whom you trust.

Manage another person's mail and calendar items

This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange Server 2000, Exchange Server 2003, or Exchange Server 2007 account. Most home and personal accounts do not use Microsoft Exchange. For more information about Microsoft Exchange accounts and how to determine which version of Exchange your account connects to, see the links in the See Also section.
There are two ways to work with another person's Microsoft Outlook folders — folder sharing and Delegate Access.
If you are a delegate and routinely respond to e-mail messages and meeting requests on behalf of someone else, you may want to add his or her Exchange mailbox to your account for quick access.

About working with another person's folders

Before you can work with another person's Outlook folders, that person must grant you permission to those folders. There are several ways to do this.
Delegate Access is an Outlook feature that allows one person to act on behalf of another Outlook user. The most common scenario in which this feature is used is a manager and his or her assistant. The assistant might be responsible for maintaining the manager's schedule, including creating and responding to meeting requests. Some assistants might also monitor their manager's Inbox.
Folder sharing is a way to provide access between two people, but it differs from Delegate Access because it does not include permissions for one to act on behalf of the other. Folder sharing is useful if you want someone to be able to access one of your folders, perhaps while you are on vacation, but you do not want the person to reply to meeting requests or e-mail messages on your behalf.
This article assumes that the delegate already has Delegate Access permissions. Find links to more information about how to grant Delegate Assess permissions in the See Also section.

Add another person's mailbox to your profile

If you frequently work with someone else's Exchange folders, you probably will want to add the other person's Exchange mailbox to your Outlook profile. Doing so will automatically open the other person's mailbox each time you open Outlook. The other mailbox appears in the Navigation Pane beneath your Exchange mailbox folders.
 Note   The person who is sharing a mailbox must grant you Folder Visible permission on the root folder of the Exchange mailbox. The shared mailbox usually appears as Mailbox - user name.
Instructions for granting Folder Visible permission
As the delegate, do the following in Outlook:

1. On the Tools menu, click Account Settings.
2. In the list, click the Exchange account type, and then click Change.

3. Click More Settings, and then click the Advanced tab.
4. Click Add, and then enter the mailbox name of the person whose mailbox you want to add to your user profile. If you do not know the mailbox name, ask the person who granted you Delegate Access permissions.

Open another person's folders

1. On the File menu, point to Open, and then click Other User's Folder.

 Tip   To avoid this step in the future, see the instructions on how to add another person's mailbox to the Navigation Pane in the Add another person's mailbox to your profile section.

2. In the Name box, enter the name of the person who granted you Sharing or Delegate Access permissions, or click Name to select from a list.
3. In the Folder type list, click the folder that you want to open.

Top of Page

Respond to meeting requests for another person

When a manager selects the Send meeting requests and responses only to my delegates, not to me check box on the Delegates tab (Tools menu, Options command), the delegate is granted sufficient permissions to accept meeting requests for the manager.
However, if the Send meeting requests and responses only to my delegates, not to me check box is not selected, a delegate must have both Editor (can read, create, and modify items) permissions in a manager's Calendar or Tasks folder and at least Reviewer (can read items) permissions in the manager's Inbox.

1. Open the other person's Inbox if his or her meeting requests are not sent to you directly.

 Tip   To avoid this step in the future, see the instructions on how to add another person's mailbox to the Navigation Pane in the Add another person's mailbox to your profile section.

2. Open the meeting request.

3. Click Accept, Tentative, or Decline.

Save sent items in another person's Sent Items folder

When e-mail messages and meeting requests are sent by a delegate on behalf of a manager, a copy of each item is saved in the delegate's Sent Items folder; this behavior is by design.
As an alternative, the manager can grant permissions to his or her Sent Items folder to the delegate. The delegate can then move or copy the items from his or her own Sent Items folder to the manager's Sent Items folder after the delegate opens the manager's mailbox as an additional mailbox.
 Note   It is assumed you already set up Delegate Access.

1. The manager should do the following:
1. In the Navigation Pane, right-click the Sent items folder.
2. Click Change Sharing Permissions.
3. On the Permissions tab, click the name of the delegate.
4. Under Permissions, in the Permission level list, click Editor (can read, create, and modify items).
5. Click OK.
2. The delegate should do the following:

1. On the Tools menu, click Account Settings.
2. Select the Exchange account, and then click Change.
3. In the Change E-mail Account dialog box, click More Settings.
4. On the Advanced tab, under Mailboxes, click Add.
5. Type the name of the manager, and then click OK.
6. Click Apply, click OK, click Next, and then click Finish.

The manager's Sent Items folder appears in the Navigation Pane under Mailbox - manager.

Change where deleted items are moved

While acting as a delegate, if you delete an item in your manager's mailbox, the deleted item is moved to your Deleted Items folder. A registry setting is available that switches the destination of deleted items to the mailbox owner's Deleted Items folder. These procedures are provided for advanced users and administrators.
 Warning   If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

1. Exit Outlook.
2. Click Start, and then click Run.
3. Type regedit, and then click OK.
4. Locate the registry key at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Options\General
5. Right-click DelegateWastebasketStylevalue, and then click Modify.

If the key is not present, do the following to create it:

1. Right-click the General folder in the path defined in step 4.
2. Point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
3. Type DelegateWastebasketStyle, and then press ENTER.

6. Change the value data in the Edit DWORD Value dialog box to one of the following values.

Value	Description
8	Stores deleted items in your folder
4	Stores deleted items in the mailbox owner's folder

7.  Note   Make sure that the delegate has at least Author permissions for the Deleted Items folder of the manager's mailbox. If the delegate does not have these permissions, and this registry option is set to 4, the item will be permanently deleted, or the delegate will receive one of the following messages:
   

• The item could not be deleted, it was either moved or already deleted, or access was denied.
• Operation Failed.

8. Exit the Registry Editor.
9. Restart Outlook.

alternative to hyperterminal windows 7

If you’ve recently upgraded to Windows 7 and are wondering what happened to HyperTerminal, you’re not alone! HyperTerminal was a sweet little program that let you connect to other computers, Telnet sites, host computers, BBSs, etc using your modem or Ethernet connection.
In Windows 7 and Vista, you will no longer find the HyperTer minal program. If you need HyperTerminal to control serial devices, there is a way to get it back! Also, there are several new alternatives to HyperTerminal that are probably better for secure shell access and troubleshooting modems.

Windows Remote Shell

Firstly, if you only need remote shell access, you can use the new Windows Remote Shell command line option in Windows 7 and Vista. To learn more about using WRS, simply open a command prompt and type in winrs /?.

It’s basically a SSH replacement that allows remote command line access over an encrypted connection. It also uses the SOAP protocol.

Phone and Modem Options

If you were using HyperTerminal to troubleshoot modems, you can now use Phone and Modem Options to do this. Go to Control Panel, click on Hardware and Sounds and then click on Phone and Modem Options.

All you have to do is provide information about the Country/Region, Area Code, Carrier Code, and Outside Dial Number to access the dialog box. Once you do that, you can troubleshoot your modem in Windows 7 or Vista.

HyperTerminal Alternatives

If you don’t want to use all these alternative methods, you can still use alternative programs for HyperTerminal. Here are some of my favorites.
HyperTerminal Private Edition – This is a commercial terminal emulation program that you can use to communicate with serial COM ports, dial-up modems, and TCP/IP networks.
TeraTerm – TeraTerm is an open-source terminal emulator and SSH module that supports IPv6, SSH1, SSH2, Telnet, serial ports, and file transfer protocols (XMODEM, Kermit, ZMODEM, B-PLUS, etc).
Putty – Another free Telnet and SSH implementation for Windows. It also is an xterm terminal emulator. This is probably my favorite alternative to HyperTerminal.

Original XP HyperTerminal

If you just can’t live without the original HyperTerminal in Windows XP, you can actually extract two files from your XP installation and copy them over to Windows 7 or Vista.
The two files you will need are hypertrm.dll and hypertrm.exe. Simply copy those files into any directory on your machine and it will work. You should be able to find hypertrm.exe in C:\Program Files\Windows NT and hypertrm.dll in C:\Windows\System32.
If you have the Windows XP CD, you should be able to find both of these files in the i386 directory on the CD.

So that’s about it! Even though HyperTerminal is no longer in Windows 7, it’s really not needed since you have a lot of great alternatives like Putty, etc. If you want it simply because you’ve been using it for a long time, either download the Private Edition or copy the files from XP. Enjoy!

4.Click Apply.

5.Close the VirusScan Console.

6.Continue to Step 2.

Option 2 - If VSE managed by ePO:

1.Click Start, Programs, McAfee, ePolicy Orchestrator Console.

2.Select the directory or computer level where the VSE policy will be changed.

3.In the right pane, expand the VirusScan Enterprise policy.

4.Click Edit beside Access Protection Policies.

5.Click the Access Protection tab.

6.Deselect Prevent McAfee services from being stopped.

7.Click Apply.

8.Send an Agent Wakeup Call to apply the changes or wait for the next policy enforcement to take effect.

9.Close the ePO Console.



Step 2 - Run the frminst.exe /forceuninstall command

1.Click Start, Run, and type one of the following commands:



•"c:\Program Files\Network Associates\Common Framework\frminst.exe" /forceuninstall

•"c:\Program Files\McAfee\Common Framework\frminst.exe" /forceuninstall



NOTE: The path will vary depending on the version and whether you installed McAfee Agent as an upgrade or clean install. Use Windows Explorer to determine the correct path.





2.Restart the system to remove McAfee Agent processes from memory and complete the deletion of files.



If this removal procedure fails, follow the manual removal instructions in the next solution.
