Exchange 2007 Deployment – Alphabetically

This is so simple, I wonder why I hadn’t thought of it before!  I’ve been writing my slides for TechEd NZ (Dugie has a list of some of the sessions on offer).  One of my slides is about the Order of Deployment:

Install server roles in this order:

Client Access server role

Hub Transport server role

Mailbox server role

Unified Messaging server role

Just follow the alphabet: C, H, M, U

 

You know that the Edge Transport server role can be introduced at any time but the mailbox isapi filters get in a muddle if you install the mailbox server role before the CAS role.

Simple really.  So now I’ve told you, I might as well delete that slide and put more stuff on switches in instead…
