Exchange Management Console Installation

Installing the Exchange 2007 Management Console

In order to begin, insure your management machine of choice is on the AD Domain.

Insure you have the Microsoft IIS Common Files. Install is through: Control Panel -> Add Remove Programs -> Add/Remove Windows Components -> Internet Information Services (IIS). You will need the WindowsXP install disks for this.

The Self-Extracting software can be found here: CITC_Software\MicroSoft\exchange mgmt

After copying the EXE file, extract to the folder of your choice. Then run the setup.exe file in that folder.

The install wizard begins and you are presented with the Exchange Server 2007 Install screen. There is an install list that illustrates the pre-requisites needed. Each item is a link to the appropriate Microsoft webpage where you can download any of the pre-requisites you do not have. If you have any of the prerequisites already, the corresponding item is grayed out.
