Complete version Server 2016/19 and Exchange
This
article describes step-by-step how
to install
Server 2016/2019 and Microsoft Exchange
Difference
between Standard and Essentials.
According to Microsoft, the only difference
would be, that with Essentials you can connect a maximum of 25
clients and with standard or ultimate unlimited.
Do not use
Explorer The best thing to do
then is to use a different browser.
You can also use Chrome on 2016 and
2019.
Firefox is not recommended if you
want to connect through the Exchange Administrative Center for the
mailflow, because it will not work.
Install Google Chrome and make that the
default browser when you start using Exchange mail.
Install Virtual Machine on a standalone Windows 10 computer or
laptop with multiple remote desktop sessions in a real network (not
virtual)
Multiple remote
desktop sessions with only 1 VM on a server

Using Windows
Deployment Service (WDS)
Provide a C, D and E partition
C for OS Server 2016/2019 D for Exchange
E for the (other) software you are going to install.
On E is the following software.
Folder Exchange with the unpacked ISO from
Exchange Exchange preprocessing with API 5 or higher and
Framework NDP 452
Update KB3206632 for Exchange
Windows 10 ISO 32 and 64 bits
Drivers for the server
Windows 11 ISO for Hyper-V
Etc.
Partition C and D must be empty and the ISO of
Exchange must be copied from the E to the D.
Unpack that iso
with 7zip
The filename of that folder needs to be
Exchange.

The following procedure applies
if you need to change the domain name due to the change of the
company name, a merger or other reason.
Change Domain Name
Domain registration
Exchange mail server
DNS forwarding
We have registered the domain
kompserver.nl at Vimexx And there we have created 2 mail
accounts. Bert and Ernie The intention is actually to create 2
mailboxes on the server for Bert and Ernie. MBO-4 goes no further
than creating folders for storing documents.
We also want the mailboxes on
that server. But if you use the DNS of Vimexx, you mail from
Ernie to Bert via Vimexx. It has to go through the server and
then to Bert so that a copy remains on the server. In this case
it is outside the server.
You need a registered domain.
In this case
kompserver.nl whose DNS must be forwarded to the IP address of
the company.
A static address of the provider (isp)
In this case 83.86.73.21
It's about:
mail.kompserver.nl (Vimexx IP address)
mail
(Ziggo incoming IP address)
pop (Ziggo incoming IP address)
smtp (Ziggo incoming IP address)
NS1
(Vimexx) NS2 (Vimexx)
NS3 (Vimexx)
MX mail (10 mail.kompserver.nl)
0% loss It comes down to forwarding the DNS of
Vimexx to Ziggo's own IP address.
Then you only have 1 cable from the router
directly to the server.
The following is
the normal existing situation and then everything has internet.
But then you can't have that forged DNS at
your disposal
If you go from the router with only 1
cable to that server, you can have that DNS at your disposal.
But only when the server is configured and
the clients have internet, you can reconnect the rest from that hub.
As long as that doesn't work, the rest has
no internet.
Below you see 2 servers because it is not
recommended to configure Exchange and the company server on 1
machine To
configure the Mailflow, the Wan needs to be connected directly to
the Exchange server, because the domain is
forwarded to the DNS of that server.
Instead of having that server directly
behind it, we just need a hub.
Disadvantage is
that if the Exchange does not have a network, the rest will not work
either.
Upgrading to Ziggo
Business Pro provides 5 IP
addresses so you can connect multiple servers to it.
This means that you also need to create a
number of subdomains and then you need to activate LD-LDS
(Lightweight Directory) as a role.
But that has probably already happened
because that's why you get a remark with the yellow flag that ADAM
is not enumerated and that refers to the fact that you have not yet
created subdomains.
Below is a
possible solution, but it means that the server has to work.
With restart or if the server is still
being configured the rest has no internet.
Netwerk agemeen =
Network general
You can also only use the Exchange with Server
2016 (on 1 machine) with a hub/switch.
If you forward Ziggo's IP address to the server,
you can use the network as it is now.
But you can also ask what the costs are of
having that mailflow taken care of by another company.
To maintain
a mail server the company needs a specialist and that costs time and
money. Outsourcing this can even lead to considerable savings.
Because we have another problem. With the upgrade of the
version Windows1903 to 1909 it went completely wrong. We set the
data to D so that on C there is only the OS with the programs.
OneDrive has also been moved to D. And then it went wrong. The
testers had already warned about it, but those warnings were ignored.
With the upgrade of 1909 OneDrive on C was expected. However,
it was on a different partition. (D) Because that was not on C it was
assumed that nothing was stored there in OneDrive. And that was
synchronized with the cloud and nothing was synchronized with nothing.
Everything gone in the cloud. Then connect to OneDrive on that
other partition and synchronize it with nothing. It took another 14
days before the rollout was stopped. And the response of M$: We
will try to retrieve your data, but cannot guarantee it. Fine, and
then you can go to the employer with that info. Data loss is job
loss. That is unforgivable.
Back to the mailboxes of Outlook.
The story above is to understand the following and to be able to
estimate the risks. Until Office 2013 the mail was stored in an
Outlook.pst file. Had you moved the documents to the D then that
file was also on the D under Documents/Outlook So you could put an
(older) image back without any risk of losing mail. Since Office
2016 they use a link with Office 365 and your mail is also stored in
the cloud. Then you no longer have a PST file but an OST file which
is set to C and cannot be moved. You can create a folder on D and
then you can create a symbolic link from that OST on C to that folder
on D.
That is one direction traffic.
Then you get a
copy of C on D but if there is still old mail in that D folder, it
will not go to C. And then the big question. If you put an image
of 6 months old back on C the cloud will put that 6 months mail back
in that folder, or is it assumed that you deleted 6 months mail
yourself and synchronized it with the cloud, so that mail is lost?
What do you think? It is plausible that the old mail on D is
not synchronized with C and also not with the cloud.
With this
information you then have enough arguments to convince the employer
that this mail handling (mail flow) is better handled by an external
party. First of all, it costs a lot of time (and money) to install
and maintain a mail server.
Time that prevents you from doing
other things. And the employer has to hire a specialist and that
also costs more. Then there is the hacking risk that confidential
mail will end up on the street. It is therefore advisable to
request a quote from an external party for the handling of that mail
flow.
Storage

Work Folders in Windows

Preparations Exchange Mail Server
Create an Exchange folder
on D Put the Exchange ISO
( 6797mb ) in there if it is not there.
Unpack the ISO with 7 zip in the folder
The name of the folder
has to be Exchange
It is recommended to have a C (OS), a D
(Exchange), and an E (Software).
On that E partition you will
find all the already downloaded software you need.
If all of this is already there, you don't have
to download anything and you can install it from that E
If after installing a component you
get an error message when installing the next component, it is often
a matter of rebooting and then trying again.

You can use the Lightweigth Directory wizard if
you have Ziggo Business Pro.
Then you get 4 extra IP addresses,
with which you can also forward to the DNS of other servers with
subdomain names.
cd d:\exchange
To perform the schedule update, run the cmdlet
below:
Don't
forget the point at the front
.\setup.exe
/PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
Active Directory Schema update is finished.
To make the Active Directory suitable for Exchange 2016 the
cmdlet below needs to be executed. When the scheme update hasn't
been executed yet it will still be executed in this step. In this
step you will need to specify the Organization Name.
The Organization Name cannot be changed
afterwards,
so choose a name you are satisfied with until the
end!
Run the cmdlet below.
You need to replace the command line
name company between the brackets
below for the organization name.
Copy that line to Notepad and
change the company name to the desired one, then paste that line
into PowerShell.
.setup.exe /PrepareAD /OrganizationName: "company
name" /IA\cceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
In this case
cd d:\exchange
Don't forget the point at the front
.\setup.exe /PrepareAD /OrganizationName:"kompserver"
/IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
Preparing the Active Directory has succeeded.
Install Framework 3.5 Use Manage,
Roles and featurus and click through until you see framework 3.5 at
the top.
Install
And that may take a while.
All preparations for the Active Directory have
now been completed. To be able to install Exchange 2016 a number of
Features will be installed.
Reboot the machine.
Installing Exchange 2016
Mailbox Role in Power Shell
cd d:\exchange
Make sure you copy the first
point of the following command line with it
./Setup.exe
/Mode:Install /IacceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms /Role:Mailbox /CustomerFeedbackEnabled:False
/TargetDir:”D:\\Exchange\\” /DbfilePath: “D:\\ExchangeDb\\” /LogFolderPath:”D:\\logs\\”
It seems that the installation gets stuck at 16% But the
installation takes a total of 30-45 minutes. Just wait.
You may
get an error message.
The Exchange Server setup operation didn't complete
Then you have to
install Exchange from the setup file on D.
Open setup.exe in the installation directory of
Exchange 2016. So
not the
exchangeserver file but the setup.exe which is located at the
bottom.
It can
also take a long time before you get the following in view
Check Connect to the Internet and check for updates, then click
Next. After that the updates will be downloaded, if
no updates are available this will be indicated. Next the
installation files will be copied to a temporary folder.
-
Click on
Next to start the installation.
Of
course we read the 'License Agreement' and of course we agree with
it;) Click on Next
If you get error messages in
Readiness Check after this, restart your setup and choose
do'nt use recommended
settings
-
In the next step, it is important to consider what choice you are going
to make. A mailserver suffices with the
Mailbox Role.
Select only this option and click on
Next.
Edge Transport Role
The Edge Transport Role is an optional feature for
added security and provides a secure email flow for inbound and
outbound email traffic. This becomes important when the mail server
is placed behind a DMZ. Unwanted programs and viruses are kept out.
Although it's not as strong as other similar products like Exchange
Online Protection, it's certainly worth considering if you want to
add this functionality to your mailserver.
-
If necessary, change the installation location of Exchange 2016.
Consider placing Exchange 2016 on a C:\ drive and the Transport
Queue and Database on another partition with more storage space
and disk performance. For this I would like to refer you to an
article from Microsoft:
Change the location of the
queue database.
Click on
Next.
If
you have followed the initial steps of this tutorial, you will not be
