Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 will reach end of support on April 11, 2017. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2007

Use the Installation Type page to select either a typical Exchange Server installation or a custom Exchange Server installation.

  • Typical Exchange Server Installation
    A typical installation installs the following server roles on the same computer:

    • Hub Transport server role

    • Client Access server role

    • Mailbox server role

    A typical installation also installs the Exchange management tools. The Exchange management tools include the following:

    • Exchange Management Console

    • Exchange cmdlets for the Exchange Management Shell

    • Exchange Help file

    • Microsoft Exchange Server Best Practices Analyzer Tool

    • Exchange Troubleshooting Assistant (ExTRA)

    Note

    If you choose the Typical Exchange Server Installation option, you will not be able to install the Unified Messaging server role, Edge Transport server role, or clustered mailbox servers during this installation. You can add additional server roles later if you choose not to install them during this installation.

    For more information, see How to Perform a Typical Installation Using Exchange Server 2007 Setup.

  • Custom Exchange Server Installation
    A custom installation allows you to select which of the following server roles to install:

    • Hub Transport server role

    • Client Access server role

    • Mailbox server role

    • Unified Messaging server role

    • Edge Transport server role

    A custom installation allows you to decide if you want to install the Mailbox server role on either the active or the passive node of a cluster. A custom installation also allows you to decide if you want to install the Exchange management tools. If you select any of the server roles, the Exchange management tools are installed automatically.

    For more information, see How to Perform a Custom Installation Using Exchange Server 2007 Setup.

After you use the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Setup wizard to install Exchange, you can add additional server roles to a computer or remove server roles from a computer by using one of the following:

  • Add or Remove Programs from Control Panel

  • Setup.com from a Command Prompt window
