Let's get into the task straight. I have tried to make it simple on how to install your first Exchange Server 2013 on a
Windows Server 2012 infrastructure. I already have given an idea about the pre-requisites and things to check before we
start the installation on my preview installation guide. You may read those here, otherwise let's get started!!
My Lab,
- One Domain Controller (Windows Server 2012 Std), and the functional level is Windows 2008 r2 (you may chose
2012 as well).
- One Member Server (Windows Server 2012 Std)
- Domain Name heloed.local
In case if you wish to use the Domain Controller to prepare your AD, you must install the following features additionally.
1. Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5
2. Windows Management Framework 3.0
3. Install the Remote Tools Administration Pack (run Install-WindowsFeature RSAT-ADDS on 2012 server or AddWindowsFeature RSAT-ADDS on 2008 server)
And then prepare the domain by using the setup /PrepareSchema and/or by running setup /PrepareAD
/OrganizationName:<organization name>. The second command will also extend the schema, so you don't have to run
prepareschema if you plan to use the same administrator account which has the forest level permission.
Once you prepare your AD, you can straight go and install the Exchange Server. But, here I have planned to club the AD
preparation and Exchange Server installation together so I did not install the above features on my DC.

Extract the Exchange-x64.EXE to "C:\Ex2013_Extract" directory, and navigate the directory where it is extracted and
double click on "setup", start the wizard and click next on "Check for updates" section on wizard. It will intiate the Copying
Files process.
Click next on Introduction and proceed to License Agreement section. select I agree and proceed next.
On Recommended Settings section, I chose Don't use. you may select the appropriate.
Select the Server Roles on the next screen, I chose both Mailbox and Client Access Roles. Click on next to proceed,
If you wish to change the installation path, you may do on the next screen. Click next once you finalyze the installation
path.
Give and Org Name, I given it as HeloED
Malware protection, select as appropriate (I said 'No'), then it will start the readiness check before the actual install.
For me, there was only one warning which say's "Setup will prepare the organization for Exchange 2013 by
using 'Setup /PrepareAD'. No Exchange 2010 server roles have been detected in this topology. After
this operation, you will not be able to install any Exchange 2010 servers ". This is just fine with me, so I
proceed for installation.
Now you may sit back and relax (as we see in earlier version of windows installation :) until it finishes its work and it takes
about 30 - 40 minutes...You will receive a successful installation screen once all the installation steps are over.
I would rate the installation of Exchange Server 2013 is simpler compare the earlier versions, now you can open the
Exchange Administration Console (EAC) to further finalize the post installation tasks. I have written an another post related
to the Exchange Server 2013 preview version installation on Windows Server 2008 R2. If you wish to install on 2008 server,
you may read that.
