Technical Lab 1 Exchange Server

Sorry for my English is not my native language, ok today im going to show you how to build a clustered exchange solution and then we are going to balance the cas servers with a load balancer appliance.

Prerequisites for the lab:

Virtualization Software for the lab
Hyper-V, VMware Workstation or QEMU-KVM
Create 2 Network in the hypervisor.
Lan Network and the Heartbeat network for the exchange cluster.

One Domain Controller
hostname dcserver01
fqdn = mybusiness.local
OS = Windows 2008 R2 SP1

Two Exchange Servers, Roles = Mailbox, Cas and Hub Transport,
hostname = EX1, EX2.
IP Address: 172.16.17.11 For EX-1
IP Address: 172.16.17.12 For EX-2
For Heartbeat use: 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2
OS = Windows 2008 R2 SP1
Cas Name = mail.mybusiness.local
Mail Software = Exchange Server 2010 SP1.

Two Load Balance Server.
for this we are going to use this software "zen load balancer" it's free and is damn good.

Video 2 OS Installation, Exchange Installation and cluster configuration

(I just post the installation of one server replicate this to the other server EX-2)
Exchange Prerequisites:

just open a powershell and write this commands:


Add-WindowsFeature RSAT-ADDS
(restart is needed after this commands )

Add-WindowsFeature Web-Metabase, Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console, Web-Server, Web-ISAPI-Ext, Web-Metabase, Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console, Web-Basic-Auth, Web-ASP, Web-Digest-Auth, Web-Windows-Auth, Web-Dyn-Compression, Web-Net-Ext, RPC-over-HTTP-proxy, AS-NET-Framework, NET-HTTP-Activation

install this filter packs

(I think we need this for the Outlook Web Access permits to search messages over the web interface.)

$GFile = New-Item -type file -force "C:\Scripts\GroupDetails.csv"
Import-CSV "C:\Scripts\GList.csv" | ForEach-Object {
$GName = $_.GroupName
$group = [ADSI] "LDAP://$GName"
$group.cn
$group.cn | Out-File $GFile -encoding ASCII -append
foreach ($member in $group.member)
{
$Uname = new-object directoryservices.directoryentry("LDAP://$member")
$Uname.cn
$Uname.cn | Out-File $GFile -encoding ASCII -append
}
}

Don't forget to create this archive Glist.csv in c:\scripts
