Creating An Smb Share For Exchange Server Installation; Installing The Feature Pack On An Exchange 2003 Server - Dell PowerVault 745N Deployment Manual

Creating an SMB Share for Exchange Server Installation

The installation of the Feature Pack creates a folder on the Windows Storage Server computer
that contains the setup and installation files for the Exchange server installation of the Feature
Pack. Before installing the Feature Pack on the Exchange server, the contents of this folder must
be shared.
To create an SMB share for Exchange server installation
1. In Windows Explorer on the Windows Storage Server computer, navigate to the folder
%ProgramFiles%\Windows Storage Server\Exchange\.
2. Right-click the folder, then click Sharing and Security.
3. On the Exchange Properties page, on the Sharing tab, click the Share this folder radio
button.
4. Click Permissions and assign Read permissions to Everyone.
5. Click OK to save the changes.

Installing the Feature Pack on an Exchange 2003 Server

The setup and installation files for installing the Feature Pack on the Exchange server are located
in the SMB share on the Windows Storage Server computer. The installation can be run in
attended mode or unattended mode.
The installation process installs the following components on the Exchange server:
Two tools used to move Exchange storage groups to and from a Windows Storage Server
computer:
The Remote Storage Wizard
WSSExchMove.exe command-line tool
Windows Storage Server Mapping Service. This service creates a mapped drive for use by
Exchange shares on the remote storage servers each time the Exchange server or Windows
Storage Server Mapping Service is restarted.
All Feature Pack components on the Exchange server are automatically installed in the
%ProgramFiles%\Windows Storage Server\Exchange\ folder.
To install Feature Pack components from the command line
At a command prompt, type the following:
\\servername\sharename\Setup.exe /i /qn where:
servername is the computer name of the Windows Storage Server computer
sharename is the name of the SMB share that contains the Setup.exe file
/i is the parameter that denotes this operation as an installation
/qn allows the installation to run without user intervention
Note
The Setup.exe program uses the same parameters as Windows Installer (Msiexec.exe). All
Windows Installer arguments can be used when running Setup.exe from the command
line.
