Installing and Configuring the Basics of Exchange Server 2013 for a Brand-New Environment (part 9)

10/7/2013 2:01:29 AM

Preparing the Active Directory Forest, Domain, and Exchange Organization

Before you can install Exchange Server, the schema and domain must be prepared.

Preparing the Schema

To prepare the Active Directory schema, follow these steps:

1. From the Exchange server, log on with your administrative account. This account must be a member of the Schema Admins and Enterprise Admins groups.

2. Copy the contents of your Exchange Server 2013 installation media to a directory on a local drive, such as c:\E2k13Install.

3. Open a Command Prompt window as an administrator, change to the drive and directory that holds your Exchange Server 2013 installation media and run the following command:

Setup /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms


Note

Depending on how you obtain the media for Exchange Server 2013, you may need to copy the installation media to a local drive and run the setup from that local drive. If you do not, your installation may result in the following error:

An error occurred while copying the file d:\\en\Setup\ServerRoles\Common
\en\Details Templates Editor.msc. The error code was 5.

If you did not copy the installation media locally and you receive this error, delete the contents of the c:\%windir%\temp file, copy the media locally, and run the command again.


4. When completed, the screen should look like the one shown in Figure 9.

5. When finished, leave your Command Prompt window open and continue with the next section.

Preparing the Active Directory and Organization

To prepare the Active Directory and Organization, follow these steps:

1. From the Exchange server, log on with your administrative account. This account must be a member of the Enterprise Admins and Domain Admins groups.

2. From an administrator-enabled command prompt, change to the drive and directory that holds your Exchange Server 2013 installation media and run the following command:

Setup /PrepareAD /OrganizationName:ORGNAME
/IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms

where ORGNAME is the organization name for your environment. In our lab, we are using TestLab as the organization name, so the command will look like this:

Setup /PrepareAD /OrganizationName:TestLab
/IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms

3. When completed, the screen should look like the one shown in Figure 10.

4. When finished, leave your Command Prompt window open and continue with the next section.

Preparing the Domain

To prepare the domain, follow these steps:

1. From the Exchange server, log on with your administrative account. This account must be a member of the Enterprise Admins and Domain Admins groups.

2. From an administrator-enabled command prompt, change to the drive and directory that holds your Exchange Server 2013 installation media and run the following command:

Setup /PrepareDomain /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms

3. When finished, close the command prompt.


Note

If you have multiple domains in your forest, you can prepare all of them by specifying /PrepareAllDomains instead of /PrepareDomain.
