1 Chapter 1 : Exchange FAQ: What are the Exchange Server Server Roles? Microsoft Exchange Server helps you achieve new levels of reliability and performance by delivering features that help to simplify your administration, protect your communications, and delight your customers by meeting their demands for greater business mobility. History of Microsoft Exchange Server Microsoft had sold a number of simpler products before, but Exchange Server was an entirely new X. There have been a number of versions: The first was Exchange Server 4. Exchange Server [ edit ] The latest version was released on October 1, [2] and introduced a number of changes: Mailbox Server and Edge Transport are the only roles available. When configuring a hybrid deployment in Exchange, the users will be prompted to download and install the wizard as a small app. Messaging policy and compliance: For more detail on new features, see the following Microsoft TechNet article: Exchange Server also introduced active-active clustering, but for two-node clusters only. In this setup, both servers in the cluster are allowed to be active simultaneously. They must wait, inactive, for the home servers in the node to fail. Subsequent performance issues with active-active mode have led Microsoft to recommend that it should no longer be used. The clustering in Exchange Server provides redundancy for Exchange Server as an application, but not for Exchange data. This type of cluster can be inexpensive and deployed in one, or "stretched" across two data centers for protection against site-wide failures such as natural disasters. The limitation of CCR clusters is the ability to have only two nodes and the third node known as "voter node" or file share witness that prevents "split brain" [9] scenarios, generally hosted as a file share on a Hub Transport Server. The second type of cluster is the traditional clustering that was available in previous versions, and is now being referred to as SCC Single Copy Cluster. It is designed to allow for data replication to an alternative drive attached to the same system and is intended to provide protection against local storage failures. It does not protect against the case where the server itself fails. Unlike CCR, which requires that both servers belong to a Windows cluster typically residing in the same datacenter, SCR can replicate data to a non-clustered server, located in a separate datacenter. When a Mailbox server is added to a DAG, the Failover Clustering Windows role is installed on the server and all required clustering resources are created. It also comes as part of the Core CAL. User and Device CALs have the same price, however, they cannot be used interchangeably. Two types of Exchange CAL are available: Clients capable of using the proprietary features of Exchange Server include Evolution [12], Hiri and Microsoft Outlook. These protocols must be enabled on the server. Microsoft Exchange Server up to version 5. Later, in Exchange Server 5. As part of Exchange Server 5. It allows a compliant device such as a Windows Mobile device or smartphone to securely synchronize mail, contacts and other data directly with an Exchange server and has become a popular mobile access standard for businesses due to support from companies like Nokia and Apple Inc. Support for push was added to it with Exchange Server Service Pack 2 and is supported by Windows Phone 7, [15] the iphone and Android phones. Third-party providers[ edit ] This has been possible from a number of providers [18] for more than 10 years, but as of June is that many providers have been marketing the service as "cloud computing" or "Software-as-a-Service.

January Learn how and when to remove this template message Microsoft Exchange Online is an , calendar, and contacts solution delivered as a cloud service, hosted by Microsoft. It is essentially the same service offered by hosted Exchange providers and it is built on the same technologies as Microsoft Exchange Server. Exchange Online provides end users with a familiar experience across PCs, the Web and mobile devices, while giving IT administrators or small businesses and professionals web-based tools for managing their online deployment. Customers can also choose to combine both on-premises and online options in a hybrid deployment. A hybrid deployment [20] can serve as an intermediate step between an on-premises and a fully hosted Exchange solution. This configuration provides a wealth of features such as allowing organizations to better migrate user mailboxes providing the ability to not only move on-premises mailboxes to Exchange Online, but from Exchange Online Page 1

2 back to the on-premises server, cloud-based message archiving for on-premises mailboxes and centralized mailbox management for both infrastructures, to name a few. With the necessity of on-premises servers; namely an Exchange Server and an Azure Active Directory synchronization server, there is a resource overhead to implement a hybrid solution. Hybrid implementations remain a popular choice for organizations that are unsure of the need or urgency to do a full cut-over to Exchange Online; also allowing for staggered migration. Hybrid monitoring and reporting tools cover the main on-premises stack of Microsoft Exchange, Lync, SharePoint, Windows, and Active Directory servers, in addition to using replica data to report cloud user experience. The monitoring of servers is important to the optimal maintenance of the server infrastructure, as well as, cloud reporting to monitor user experience. Exchange Server was developed concurrently as a server product and for the Exchange Online service. Page 2

3 Chapter 2 : Microsoft Exchange Server - ExBPA (Exchange Best Practice Analyzer) Exchange Server is the first server in a new generation of Microsoft server technology that is designed and developed to work on-premises as well as as an online service. Exchange introduces a new integrated archive and features to reduce costs and improve the user experience. It can also detect when services have stopped, or if there is a network latency problem. LEM is a really smart application that can make correlations between data in different logs, then use its built-in logic to take corrective action, to restart services, or thwart potential security breaches â give LEM a whirl. Naturally, ExBPA uses the credentials of the account under which you logged on. The next step is to start a new Best Practices scan, but before setting the scan to run, you need to choose: A name for the scan. Specify the scope of your Exchange Organization. Select the type of scan, e. Health, Baseline, or Readiness. Check the network speed. The most interesting are the Best Practice and the Errors. I also like to skim the output for any warnings and non-default settings. If possible run a baseline check early in your Exchange career, it will pay back handsomely later when you run future scans. Vital readiness ExBPA checks: Identifying any Active Directory domains which are not in native mode. Checking that the Exchange organization is in native mode. Identifying any Active Directory sites that do not have a Global Catalog server. This utility will also guide you through troubleshooting; the dashboard will indicate whether the root cause is a broken link, faulty equipment or resource overload. What I like best is the way NPM suggests solutions to network problems. Its also has the ability to monitor the health of individual VMware virtual machines. If you are interested in troubleshooting, and creating network maps, then I recommend that you try NPM now. A wild guess says that it will take 15 minutes to scan your Exchange organization. When you are only troubleshooting one particular Exchange server, you may wish to speed up the scan, by limiting the test to just that problem server. Health Check The health check will warn you about any weaknesses on your Exchange server. In a word its â awesome. The Best Practice Analyzer really does make it easy to pin down that obscure problems. Fingers crossed that all interfaces will soon have a selection of options, such as Summary, Details and my favourite â the Issues List. Although I mention them last, baseline reports should be one of the first scans to run on a production server. The ExBPA engine has a most descriptive name â the dispatcher. What the dispatcher does is send WMI collectors to gather the information. The ExBPA engine then analyzes the data against the configuration files, and generates the results on screen. One advantage of the version of ExBPA is a scheduler; this means that you can plan your scans and they run automatically at a time to suit you. In this instance, you would want the output report sent to a file, since nobody is likely to be looking at the screen when the tests are run in the middle of the night. Just provide a list of the users with the fields in the top row, and save as. Optionally, you can provide the name of the OU where the new mailboxes will be born. There are also two bonus tools in the free download, and all 3 have been approved by Microsoft: Bulk-import new users and mailboxes into Active Directory. Seek and zap unwanted user accounts. ExBPA will detect configuration and routing weaknesses in your Exchange server and recommend solutions. Page 3

The organization that gave you the Exchange account has an IT department that is running a program named Microsoft Exchange Server. What is a Microsoft Exchange account? Less A Microsoft Exchange account is a work or school account. The organization that gave you the Exchange account has an IT department that is running a program named Microsoft Exchange Server. This server provides your service. The people who operate your Exchange Server assigned a name to it. Contact the people who gave you the Exchange address and ask them for the name of the Exchange server. When you set up a mobile device, the AutoDiscover feature will find the name of your Exchange server and mailbox, and configure Outlook for you. It uses the domain name in your address to find the server. Only if Autodiscover fails will you be asked for the name of the Exchange server name. How do Exchange accounts work? Your contacts and calendar are saved there, too. When your business or school sets up their Exchange Server, they choose what method your Exchange account uses to access on the server. This will determine how your works. Here are the possibilities - ask your business or school how your Exchange account is set up: IMAP allows for limited calendar storage but does not support collaborating on a calendar with other users. POP is downloaded from the Exchange Server onto your computer. If you access your from different computer or device, it will look like some of your previously downloaded messages have been deleted. This is called working offline or using Cached Exchange Mode. Copies of your and calendar items are kept on your computer in an offline Outlook Data File. The offline Outlook Data File. You can check the Account Settings dialog box in Outlook for the types of accounts in your Outlook profile. On the Tools menu, click Account Settings. On the tab, the Type column lists the type of account for each entry. To access some Outlook features, your account may need to be on a specific version of Exchange Server. To determine which version of Exchange Server your account connects to, see Determine the version of Microsoft Exchange my account connects to. Page 4

5 Chapter 4 : Microsoft Exchange Server Solo setup Microsoft Docs Exchange Server is designed to meet the growing demands of messaging for your customers, and offers a stable, reliable enterprise messaging platform. For simplicity we are assuming you are setting up a small office where one machine will be used for both the Active Directory and the Exchange Server. This setup works just fine and reduces the number of machines to maintain. If you have a larger office you may want to consider separating the Active Directory machine and the Exchange Server. Install Windows Server R2 64 bit version Exchange is a 64 bit application and requires 64 bit versions of Windows Server or Windows Server You should select a computer that is capable of running the 64 bit version of Windows Server or For this example, we will start with a clean installation of Windows Server R2 64 bit version that has not had any roles installed. At this point this server is configured to be a stand alone computer with default settings. Since we will be configuring this computer to be a domain controller, you must change the IP address of the computer to be a static IP address. This will display the list of active network interfaces. Double click on your network adaptor to display the adaptors status. Press the Properties button. Change the radio button to "Use the following IP address" and enter an IP address you want to use for this server. In our example, we chose to assign this server the internal IP address " We also have a firewall appliance that operates as a gateway at the IP address " It is important to include this computer in the DNS list. Press OK to save your changes. Now you will need to modify the support for IP v6. Exchange requires that IP V6 be enabled. Even if you do not use IP V6 you must leave it enabled. As long as the IP v4 address is static you can continue the installation. At this point you should have all IP addresses on this server configured as static IP addresses. Press OK to save your changes and close the Network Connection screen. Activate Auto Update The next step in making this server a Domain Controller is to activate auto update. Active Directory will not install until this computer has auto updates active. To activate auto updates, click on the link "Configure Updates" and then select the option to have Windows automatically install updates. At this time Windows will download updates and will most likely need to reboot your computer. Allow the updates to be applied and the computer to be restarted until all updates are applied before installing Active Directory. You do not want to be in the middle of installing Active Directory when an auto update needs to reboot your computer. Once this is complete, your Windows Server will now be a Domain Controller. When you select Active Directory the Select Server Roles Screen will inform you that you also need to install the feature ". Press the "Add Required Features" button. After acknowledging the required feature, press Next. Active Directory Domain Services will present information about the changes it will make to your server. Review this information and press Next. Now the installation will scan your configuration and inform you if there are any pre-requisites that you have not fulfilled. If the Active Directory Installation presents an errors, correct these at this time and then repeat the installation. Once the Setup program indicates that you have met all pre-requisites, then press the Install button to start the installation process. The setup program will now install Active Directory on your Server. When the installation is complete, you should see a message indicating "Installation Succeeded". Press Close to return to the Server Management Screen. Step 2 - Configure Active Directory At the Server Management screen you should now see that you have 1 role installed. The Active Directory Domain Services may indicate that it is installed but there are errors. This is because the software is installed but not configured. The Installation Wizard will present information about the version of Active directory, press Next. Since we are assuming this Exchange Server will be the first Domain Controller, we choose "create a new domain in a new forest". Enter the name of your domain. The domain name you enter here is the domain name that Exchange will associated with all of your . If you use a hosting company to host your Internet Domain, then you may want to enter the name of your Internet domain with ". If you host your own Internet Domain then you would enter your domain name here. In our example, we are assuming that IGetMail. Since we do not host IGetMail. Once you enter your domain name it is very hard to change it in the future, so you should take great care when enter this name. Once you have decided on the name of your internal domain, that will be your Active Directory Domain and the domain serviced by Exchange, press Next. Page 5

6 The Installation Wizard will now ask you about compatibility. If you plan to have domain controllers running various versions of Active Directory, then you will want to chose a function level to include the lowest version of Windows that you are using for domain controllers. You will be asked a similar question which is at the domain level instead of the forest level on the previous screen. You should follow the same approach and include the function level to include the lowest version of Windows you plan to use for domain controllers. The optimal location is to start out with having the installation wizard install the DNS server locally. Also, it will automatically make this computer a global catalog server. You can specify where you want Active Directory to store its data. If you only have one drive in your Server, then use the defaults. If you have multiple drives, you can select which drive to use. Should you need to restore Active Directory in the event of a hard drive failure, you will need to boot your Server into a special mode called "Directory Restoration Mode". Should you need to boot your computer into this special mode, you will need to use a special password just for this restoration. You can define this password at this time. This password is different than the administrator account and if you change the administrator password this password will not change. So you will need to store this password forever in a safe place. Now the Installation Wizard will summarize the configuration that it is about to create. To start the process of configuring your new Domain Controller, press Next. The Installation Wizard will show its progress as it configures your Server. This will take a long time. When the installation is complete, you will be shown a final screen. Then restart your computer. After restarting your computer, Windows should show you the Server Manager. You have 8 more tasks to complete and then you will have your Exchange Server setup and configured.
