Trang 6Software Requirements
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, build 2195
Exchange 2000 Server, Release Candidate 2 (RC2), or Release to Manufacturing (RTM)
Windows 2000 SP1 is required to be on your server before installing Exchange 2000 It is strongly recommended that you also install Windows
2000 SP1 and the Windows 2000 hotfix Q257357 on your domain
controllers
Pre-Installation Tasks
By default, Microsoft Internet Information Services 5.0 (IIS) is installed with Windows 2000 Server
Verify that both Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) have been installed
A Domain Name System (DNS) server must be available for your domain
At least one Windows 2000 subnet must be configured for the domain if there is more than one site
Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server must be installed on a computer that is a member of a domain and not in a workgroup
Prepare the Forest
You need to be a member of the Enterprise Admins and Schema Admins security groups
You must have administrative rights on the computer on which ForestPrep runs If you do not belong to the Schema Admins and Enterprise Admins security groups, you must request that someone who does run ForestPrep in the domain where the schema master resides By default, the schema master runs on the first Windows 2000 domain controller installed in a forest ForestPrep accomplishes different tasks depending on whether you are
Trang 7installing Exchange 2000 into an organization where Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 is running or if you are creating a new Exchange 2000 organization.
ForestPrep
Extends the Active Directory schema to include Exchange-specific information
This affects the entire forest and, depending on the size of Active Directory, may take a large amount of time to replicate changes throughout the forest Prompts for and creates the Exchange 2000 organization name and object in Active Directory When Exchange 2000 is installed, provided that you run DomainPrep in each domain where Exchange 2000 is to be installed, Setup queries Active Directory for configuration information This simplifies deployment of Exchange 2000 throughout the forest Assigns Exchange Full Administrative permissions to the account that you specify This account has the authority to install Exchange 2000 throughout the forest Also, after the first installation of Exchange 2000, you can use this account to run Administration Delegation Wizard, which configures Exchange-specific roles for administrators across the forest
If the ForestPrep command doesn't work, make sure the account has the
following permissions:
Schema Admins
Enterprise Admins
Local Admin rights to the
server
DomainPrep
After you run ForestPrep, you must run DomainPrep in each domain where you want to install Exchange 2000 This includes the same domain where you ran ForestPrep To run DomainPrep, your account must be a member of the Domain Admins security group for the domain and have administrative rights on the computer from which you are running DomainPrep The procedure for running DomainPrep is the same whether or not your forest
Trang 8includes Exchange Server 5.5 or earlier versions When you use the following procedure, DomainPrep Prompts for the address list server that is responsible for this domain, Creates the global security group, Domain EXServers, Creates the domain local security group, All Exchange Servers, Adds the Domain EXServers group to the All Exchange Servers group and Grants appropriate rights to the address list server
If the DomainPrep command doesn't work, make sure the account has the following permissions:
Back Up Exchange 2000
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Backup Click the Backup tab Expand the Microsoft Exchange Server branch in the left pane, and then expand the server branch you want To expand a branch, double-click the branch or click the plus sign
to the left of the branch Select the objects that you want to back up To select an object, click to select the check box to the left of the object Type the full path and file name of the backup file in the Backup media or file name box, and then click Start Backup
Restore Exchange 2000
To restore an Exchange 2000 server, dismount any database that you want to restore, and then restore its backup To dismount a database you need to click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager If the Administrative Groups branch exists in the left pane, expand it, expand the appropriate administrative group branch, expand the Servers branch, and then expand the appropriate server branch If the Administrative Groups branch does not exist, expand the Servers branch in the left pane, and then expand the appropriate server branch To expand a

Good Backup Info
Exchange 2000 Server supports multiple databases and storage groups on the same server This support allows you to split a single logical database into multiple physical databases You can back up and restore these smaller physical databases much faster than larger databases In addition, you can help improve overall system reliability by using multiple physical databases because you can restore an individual database from a backup while other databases continue to service client requests
Active Directory Connector
If you want to install Active Directory Connector (ADC) into a child domain, you must first extend the Active Directory schema by running the Active Directory Connector setup from a command line in the domain where
the schema master is located and using the /schemaonly flag The root
domain is used by default Then after information is replicated to the child domain, you can run the Active Directory Connector setup in the child domain using a user account from the child domain
Routing and Connectors
Do Not Use Some Characters in Connector Display Names in Pure Exchange 2000 Administrative Groups in Mixed-Mode Organizations If you create an SMTP, X.400, or Routing Group Connector in a new pure Exchange 2000 administrative group and the Exchange organization is in mixed-mode, the connector name can include only US ASCII alpha-numeric characters, embedded spaces, one or more of the following characters:
!"%&()+-,./:<>=?@[]_|
Trang 10This restriction does not apply if the administrative group previously
contained Exchange 5.5 servers.
Clustering
A Cluster Server Cannot be a Front-end Server Since clustering provides Exchange mailbox servers failover capability if they are connected to shared storage, and front-end servers only relay Internet client protocol commands
to mailbox servers, there is no benefit to using a cluster server as a front-end server However, front-end servers can be made more fault tolerant by using multiple front-end servers and a load balancing scheme
Secure Sockets Layer on Clusters can be used To use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) with protocols on a cluster, you must install a certificate with Exchange System Manager and an Exchange virtual server on the same node After installing the first certificate, failover the virtual server to the second node, and then use Exchange System Manager on the second node to install another certificate
Installing Exchange 2000 on a Cluster Requires a Physical Disk Resource Exchange 2000 does not work on all cluster hardware and requires a disk resource of type "Physical Disk." Do not upgrade or install Exchange 2000
on a cluster that does not have a disk resource named "Physical Disk." Unless your cluster hardware uses the NT cluster resource "Physical Disk"
do not install or upgrade your cluster to Exchange 2000
Security
Using Key Management Service - Publishing Certificates Requires a Global Catalog in Every User Domain Before enrolling users in security through Key Management Service, a global catalog must exist in the same domain as the users, or clients will not be able to publish certificates into the directory Additionally, a registry entry must be set on every client computer in order
for clients to publish to that global catalog
Key Management Service Needs a Server Registry Key to Publish Certification Revocation Lists After Upgrading to Exchange 2000 If you have an Exchange 5.5 certificate authority (CA) with the Exchange policy module installed, the CA does not add the Certification Revocation List Distribution Point extension to certificates
