2 Create Exchange Server 2010 application on application director Prerequisites 1. Install and configure VMware vfabric Application Director with vcloud Director. 2. Add Microsoft_Exchange_Server as a service in the Application Director Catalog. 3. Active Directory(AD) forest functional level is Windows Server 2003 (or higher) 4.
