Install the Exchange 2013 Edge Transport role using the Setup wizard

  • Článok

Applies to: Exchange Server 2013

This topic explains how to use the Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Setup wizard to install the Exchange 2013 Edge Transport server role on a computer. The Edge Transport role is available with Exchange 2013 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or later. For more information about planning and deploying Exchange 2013, see Planning and deployment.

We recommend that the Edge Transport role be installed in a perimeter network outside of your organization's internal Active Directory forest. While you can install the Edge Transport server role on a domain-joined computer, doing so will only enable domain management of Windows features and settings. The Edge Transport role itself doesn't use Active Directory. Instead, it uses the Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) Windows feature to store configuration and recipient information. For more information about the Edge Transport role, see Edge Transport servers.

If you want to install the Exchange 2013 Mailbox or Client Access roles on a computer, see Install Exchange 2013 using the Setup wizard. The Edge Transport role can't be installed on the same computer as the Mailbox or Client Access server roles.

Tip

Have you heard about the Exchange Server Deployment Assistant? It's a free online tool that helps you quickly deploy Exchange 2013 in your organization by asking you a few questions and creating a customized deployment checklist just for you. If you want to learn more about it, go to Exchange Server Deployment Assistant.

For information about tasks to complete after installation, see Exchange 2013 post-Installation tasks.

What do you need to know before you begin?

  • Estimated time to complete: 40 minutes

  • Make sure you've read the release notes prior to installing Exchange 2013. For more information, see Release notes for Exchange 2013.

  • The computer you install Exchange 2013 on must have a supported operating system (such as Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1, Windows Server 2012 R2, or Windows Server 2012), have enough disk space, and satisfy other requirements. For information about system requirements, see Exchange 2013 system requirements.

  • To run Exchange 2013 setup, you must install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5, Windows Management Framework, and other required software. To understand the prerequisites for all server roles, see Exchange 2013 prerequisites.

  • You need to configure the primary DNS suffix on the computer. For example, if the fully qualified domain name of your computer is edge.contoso.com, the DNS suffix for the computer is contoso.com. For more information, see Primary DNS Suffix is missing.

  • Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010 Hub Transport servers need an update before you can create an EdgeSync Subscription between them and an Exchange 2013 Edge Transport server. If you don't install this update, the EdgeSync Subscription won't work correctly. For more information, see the "Supported coexistence scenarios" section in Exchange 2013 system requirements.

  • Make sure the account you use is a member of the local Administrators group on the computer you're installing the Edge Transport role.

  • For information about keyboard shortcuts that may apply to the procedures in this topic, see Keyboard shortcuts in the Exchange admin center.

Warning

After you install Exchange on a server, you must not change the server name. Renaming a server after you have installed an Exchange server role is not supported.

  3. Start Exchange 2013 Setup by double-clicking Setup.exe

    Important

    If you have User Access Control (UAC) enabled, you must right-click Setup.exe and select Run as administrator.

  4. On the Check for Updates? page, choose whether you want Setup to connect to the Internet and download product and security updates for Exchange 2013. If you select Connect to the Internet and check for updates, Setup will download updates and apply them prior to continuing. If you select Don't check for updates right now, you can download and install updates manually later. We recommend that you download and install updates now. Click Next to continue.

  5. The Introduction page begins the process of installing Exchange into your organization. It will guide you through the installation. Several links to helpful deployment content are listed. We recommend that you visit these links prior to continuing setup. Click Next to continue.

  6. On the License Agreement page, review the software license terms. If you agree to the terms, select I accept the terms in the license agreement, and then click Next.

  7. On the Recommended settings page, select whether you want to use the recommended settings. If you select Use recommended settings, Exchange will automatically send error reports and information about your computer hardware and how you use Exchange to Microsoft. If you select Don't use recommended settings, these settings remain disabled but you can enable them at any time after Setup completes. For more information about these settings and how information sent to Microsoft is used, click ?.

  8. On the Server Role Selection page, select Edge Transport. Remember that you can't add the Mailbox or Client Access server roles to a computer that has the Edge Transport role installed. The management tools are installed automatically if you install any server role.

    Select Automatically install Windows Server roles and features that are required to install Exchange Server to have the Setup wizard install required Windows prerequisites. You may need to reboot the computer to complete the installation of some Windows features. If you don't select this option, you must install the Windows features manually.

    Note

    This option installs only the Windows features required by Exchange. You must install other prerequisites manually. For more information, see Exchange 2013 prerequisites.

After resolving a reported error, click back and then click Next to run the prerequisite check again. Be sure to also review any warnings that are reported. If all readiness checks have completed successfully, click Next to install Exchange 2013.
