How to Install Exchange 2007 SP1 and SP2 Prerequisites on Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista

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 SP1, Exchange Server 2007 SP2

This topic explains how to install the necessary prerequisites for all Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1) server roles on Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista.

If you are deploying a new Exchange organization, and you are preparing your Active Directory schema and domain(s) by using a computer running Windows Server 2008, you must first install the Active Directory Domain Services remote management tools on Windows Server 2008 prior to preparing the schema or a domain by using the following command:

ServerManagerCmd -i RSAT-ADDS

Note

You may need to restart the computer after installing the Active Directory Domain Services remote management tools. You will be notified at the end of the installation process if a system restart is required.

If Internet Information Services (IIS) components are missing when you install Exchange 2007 SP1, you may experience one or more of the following symptoms in your Exchange organization:

  • Users cannot log on to their Exchange mailboxes by using Office Outlook Web Access. In this scenario, when a user specifies a URL such as **http://<ClientAccessServerName>/**Exchange to access a mailbox and then enters the correct credentials, the user receives the following error message:

    The user name or password that you entered is not valid. Try entering it again.

    In this scenario, the Exchange Client Access server does not successfully redirect the /Exchange request to the /OWA virtual directory.

  • If you try to access the /Exchange virtual directory from the Windows 2008-based computer or by using Internet Explorer, you receive one of the following error messages:

    HTTP Error 401.2 - Unauthorized

    You are not authorized to view this page due to invalid authentication headers.

    HTTP Error 500.21 - Internal Server Error

    Handler "AboMapperCustom-31169" has a bad module "IsapiModule" in its module list.

For more information about preparing the Active Directory schema and domains, see How to Prepare Active Directory and Domains.

Before You Begin

To perform these procedures, the account you use must be delegated membership in the local Administrators group. For more information about permissions, delegating roles, and the rights that are required to administer Exchange 2007, see Permission Considerations.

The full installation option of Windows Server 2008 must be used for all Exchange 2007 SP1 servers and management workstations. The Server Core installation option of Windows Server 2008 is not supported for use by Exchange 2007 SP1.

For all server roles other than the Edge Transport server role, you must first join the computer to the appropriate internal Active Directory forest and domain.

When installing the prerequisites for Client Access servers, installation of the RPC over HTTP proxy component is needed only if you plan to enable Outlook Anywhere in your environment.

In each of the procedures below, the steps must be followed in order. It is especially important that the Active Directory Domain Services remote management tools be installed prior to installing any Internet Information Services (IIS) prerequisites.

When installing any server role, the Exchange Management Tools role is also installed. To use the Exchange management tools (the Exchange Management Console or the Exchange Management Shell) to manage all internal server roles (Client Access, Mailbox, Hub Transport, and Unified Messaging) you must also install the prerequisites for the Exchange management tools. For example, on a server that has only the Hub Transport server role installed, you must also install the following IIS components that are required for a management tools installation:

ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Metabase
ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console

Without these IIS components, you would not be able to manage the Client Access server role from the server that has only the Hub Transport server role installed.

Before you can install Exchange 2007 SP1 on Windows Server 2008 and create a clustered mailbox server, you must also install the Windows Server 2008 Failover Clustering feature. For detailed steps to install the prerequisites for the Mailbox server role and the Failover Clustering feature, see "To install the Windows Server 2008 operating system prerequisites for Mailbox servers" later in this topic.
