Install Exchange 2010 on Windows Server 2008 R2

At this time we assume that you have installed the Windows Server Operating System.

And you need to make sure that your Active Directory (AD) environment and your Exchange Server meet the minimum requirements:

• Active Directory forest functional level is Windows Server 2003 (or higher).
• Active Directory Schema Master is running Windows Server 2003 w/SP1 or later.
• Full installation of Windows Server 2008 w/SP2 or later or Windows Server 2008 R2 for the Exchange Server itself.
• Exchange Server is joined to the domain (except for the Edge Transport Server Role).

Now, you are ready to start installing Exchange Server 2010.
