Let us learn installing Exchange 2010 Sp2 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Sp1

I would install the Exchange 2010 Sp2 in a Environment where Exchange 2003 Server is already
there .

Its as similar . where we need to prepare the legacy Exchange permission to get that installed and
working properly

Step 1.

I installed Service pack 1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 where I can overcome without installing
hotfixes for Exchange 2010

Prerequisites Differs with the operating Systems

This Technet article would provide you for other versions of operating systems

Step 2.

Download and Install “Microsoft Filter Pack” (64bit Version)

Step 3.

On the Start menu, navigate to All Programs > Accessories > Windows PowerShell. Open an
elevated Windows PowerShell console (Right Click – Run as administrator), and run the
following command.

Import-Module ServerManager

And Running this command for typical installation where all the roles will be installed HUB ,
CAS and Mailbox Servers

Step 4.

Reboot the Server

Now Prerequisites Installed successfully

Step 5.

Now open Command Prompt “Browse the Command prompt into the setup location”

and Run

setup /PrepareLegacyExchangePermissions or setup /pl

We run this as we prepare the legacy (Exchange 2003) Server permissions,

Running this command won’t harm your environment .

Befor Running this command make sure your Domain Function Level and Forest Functional
level in Windows Server 2003 is in native mode and your Exchange 2003 is in native mode,

Otherwise , It won’t allow you to install Exchange 2010

Step 7.

Preparing Active Directory

This Switch can be removed if you have an Exchange Server already in your Organization
