When you preparing for an Exhange 2007 or 2010 installation you need to add some features in Windows Server 2008. In Windows Server 2008 you can add these features with the following commands:
- ServerManagerCMD -install RSAT-ADDS
- ServerManagerCMD -install Web-Server
- ServerManagerCMD -install Web-ISAPI-Ext
- ServerManagerCMD -install Web-Metabase
- ServerManagerCMD -install Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console
- ServerManagerCMD -install Web-Basic-Auth
- ServerManagerCMD -install Web-Digest-Auth
- ServerManagerCMD -install Web-Windows-Auth
- ServerManagerCMD -install Web-Dyn-Compression
- ServerManagerCMD -install Net-http-Activation
- ServerManagerCMD -install RPC-over-http-Proxy
But when you install Exchange 2007 or 2010 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 you can just execute the following powershell command:
Import-Module ServerManager
Add-WindowsFeature NET-Framework,RSAT-ADDS,Web-Server,Web-Basic-Auth,Web-Windows-Auth,Web-Metabase,Web-Net-Ext,Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console,WAS-Process-Model,RSAT-Web-Server,Web-ISAPI-Ext,Web-Digest-Auth,Web-Dyn-Compression,NET-HTTP-Activation,RPC-Over-HTTP-Proxy -Restart
Windows 2008 R2 makes life easier :-D
