There are new
clustering and replication engines, more intelligent spam settings, and the ability to encrypt
communication between two Exchange Server 2007 organizations. It is indeed a very exciting
time to be involved with Exchange.
This chapter discusses installation and deployment of Exchange Server 2007. The installation
pieces are broken down into hardware requirements, software requirements, and domain
requirements. Each one of these requires some planning because Exchange Server 2007 is 64 - bit
only. New servers may need to be purchased. You may need to perform compatibility testing of
your company ??™ s products to ensure that backups, antivirus, and monitoring tools will work, as
well as a health check on the AD infrastructure to ensure that the domain is sufficient for Exchange
deployment. After the requirements are displayed, the setup switches are explained along with
information about what is required to prepare the environment. Though this may seem mundane,
it is necessary because there are switches available to ensure compatibility with legacy clients.
After the setup switches are discussed, we focus on deployment scenarios. Although we discuss
how many servers and what roles should be deployed, it is not an exhaustive list of every
deployment scenario.
