Exchange Server 2019:- GUI Installation
Microsoft released Exchange Server 2019 Public Preview a few days ago, in this article we will go through the full Install with all prerequisites. This installation was done in a new domain without any previous versions of Exchange Installed.
This is a step-by-step install guide to install the preview build of Exchange 2019 Public Preview, No DAG setup done in this example, that will come in follow-up articles.
Here are the steps to do the installation:
- Ensure that your machines are domain joined.
- Download the Exchange 2019 ISO (Here)
- Install the prerequisites, this includes UCMA 4.0 and Visual C++ 2013.
- Install .NET 4.7.1
- Install RSAT-ADDS Windows Feature on the Exchange Server. (Used to PrepareAD)
- Install Exchange 2019 Public Preview.
- Post login and check.
Step 1 is obvious but just putting it out there :-)
Step 2, the download is around 5.9GB, in my Azure machine it downloaded in 2 min but on a slower link it might take a bit longer.
Step 3 - Prerequisites installation:
