Now that all the
prerequisites are complete it is time to install the Clustered Mailbox Server. Again, the CMS is the
??? floating ??? Exchange server that can move between nodes. This is what mail clients, such as Outlook,
connect to. Unattended installs are run from setup.com on the Exchange DVD. There are many
arguments for setup, but only a few are related to installing the CCR cluster.
The mode parameter can be Install , Uninstall , and RecoverServer . If it is not specified, Install
is assumed.
The role parameter indicates which server role is installed. Possible values are MB or M for the
Mailbox role.
The switch /newcms denotes the mailbox install with be a clustered install:
./setup.com /mode:install /role:mb /newcms /cmsname:$CMS_Name
/cmsIPAddress:$CMS_IPADDRESS

Note the ./ before setup.com . This is a security mechanism in PowerShell to prevent malicious code
or an administrator from inadvertently running an executable.
Installing the Mailbox Server Role on the Secondary Node
To install the passive node, simply run the setup on the second node:
./setup.com /mode:install /role:mb
Once the passive node install is complete, the next step is to create storage groups and other
configurations. Creating storage groups and other mailbox-configuration tasks is covered in Chapter 8 .
