When the installation process has completed, we can click Finish to exit the Exchange 2007

the Retry button after the component has been installed. In most cases this will work, but with some
components, such as the World Wide Web Service (W3SVC), it is required that you exit the Setup
Wizard and run it again from the beginning.

Installing Exchange 2007 Using
Unattended Setup
Now that we have been through a typical installation of Exchange Server 2007 using the Setup
Wizard, let’s take a look at how you do a typical installation of Exchange Server 2007 using an
unattended setup. This is done via the command prompt, and as in the case when doing a GUI
installation, you need to insert the Exchange Server 2007 media in the DVD drive on the server, or
map to a share containing the necessary Exchange Server 2007 binaries. Navigate to the DVD or

NOTE
If you have any legacy Outlook clients (Outlook 2003 and earlier versions) in your
environment, you should also add /EnableLegacyOutlook to the command.
/EnableLegacyOutlook makes sure that a Public Folder database is created on the
Exchange 2007 server, which is necessary for the sharing of Free/Busy calendar
information using the legacy Outlook client.
mapped drive by typing CD <letter of DVD drive>:. You can install Exchange Server 2007 in
unattended mode using Setup.exe. Setup.exe supports many different parameters and switches, so to
whet your appetite, we recommend you type Setup.exe /? to list all available parameters and
switches, providing a short description of each. Because we are going to do a basic installation into an
Active Directory forest that does not contain any existing Exchange organization, we need to use the
following command:

Setup.exe /mode:Install /roles:HT,CA,MB,MT /on:EHLO
First the command tells Setup.exe that we want to install one or more server roles with the
/mode:Install parameter. We then specify the roles we want to install using the /roles:<roles> parameter.
Finally, we specify the name of the new Exchange organization with the /on:<Exchange organization>
parameter (see Figure 2.20).

As with the Setup Wizard, Exchange 2007 unattended setup will do a set of prerequisite checks.
If these are successful, setup will continue, copying the necessary Exchange fi les and fi nally installing
the specifi ed Exchange 2007 server roles.
Verifying the Installation of
Exchange Server 2007
After Exchange Server 2007 has been installed, we recommend that you verify that the installation
completed without any serious warnings or errors. If you didn’t encounter any errors during
installation, there’s a good chance everything is in perfect shape, but you won’t know for sure until
you have checked the Windows event logs and the Exchange 2007 setup logs as well as doing a
visual verifi cation that each selected role has been installed. Start by examining both the application
logs and the system logs for any warnings or errors related to the Exchange Server 2007 setup. If
any are found, you can trace the problem using the provided information in the event URL,
TechNet, or the troubleshooting section of the Exchange setup guide. If everything looks good,
move on and verify that no errors have been logged in the ExchangeSetup.log and ExchangeSetup.
msilog, both located in the ExchangeSetupLogs folder located in the root of the system drive
(typically C:).
In addition, you should check that all the respective Exchange 2007 services have been
confi gured to start automatically and are indeed started (see Figure 2.21).
Figure 2.21 A List of Exchange 2007 Services
If a service that has been confi gured to start automatically is in a stopped state, try to start it. If
you’re unsuccessful, check the related error in the application log.

To complete your installation, it’s a good idea to run the Exchange Best Practices Analyzer tool,
now integrated into the Exchange Management Console (EMC) and found under the Toolbox

node, as shown in Figure 2.22.

TIP
If the installation of Exchange 2007 completes the installation of one or more server
roles but then fails at another one, you don’t need to reinstall the server roles that
were already installed. Instead, the Exchange 2007 Setup Wizard will start in
maintenance mode the next time you launch it, and from there you can simply tick
the server roles that failed the fi rst time.
