Installation Guide Template - Client Access

ServerThis topic provides you with an installation guide template that you can use as a starting point for

formally documenting your organization's server build procedures for Microsoft Exchange Server

2010 servers that will have the Client Access server role installed.

The template includes the following key sections:

Executive Summary

Server Configuration

Load Balancing Configuration

Verification Steps

Exchange Server Role Installation

Exchange Server Role Configuration

For purposes of providing an example, the template uses the fictitious company name of Contoso.

Also, you can download this template, along with templates for other server roles, as a download

package in .zip file format at Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Install Guide Templates

(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=187961).

Executive SummaryThe purpose of this document is to explain the installation and configurations necessary to install

the Exchange 2010 Client Access server role on the Windows Server 2008 platform.

Business Justification

By having an installation guide, Contoso will be able to ensure standardization across the

enterprise, reducing total cost of ownership (TCO), and easing troubleshooting steps.

Scope

The scope of this document is limited to installation of an Exchange 2010 Client Access server for

Contoso on the x64 version of the Windows Server 2008 (SP2 or R2) operating system.

PrerequisitesThe administrator should have working knowledge of Windows Server 2008 concepts, Exchange

2010 concepts, the Exchange Management Console and Exchange Management Shell, the

command line, and various system utilities. This document does not elaborate on the details of any

system utility except as necessary to complete the tasks within.

AssumptionsThis document assumes that Windows Server 2008 x64 Edition is installed on the intended Client

Access server per company baseline regulations which include the latest approved service pack

and hotfixes. In addition, the following system prerequisites have been installed:

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and the update for .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 For more

information, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 959209,An update for the .NET Framework
