The resulting Exchange Server 2013 test lab demonstrates Exchange Server 2013 as an intranet email server.Important? The following instructions are for configuring an Exchange Server 2013 test lab using the minimum number of computers. Individual computers are needed to separate the services provided on the network and to clearly show the desired functionality. This configuration is neither designed to reflect best practices nor does it reflect a desired or recommended configuration for a production network. The configuration, including IP addresses and all other configuration parameters, is designed only to work on a separate test lab network.Attempting to adapt this test lab configuration to a pilot or production deployment can result in configuration or functionality issues. To ensure proper configuration and operation for your pilot or production deployment of Exchange Server 2013, use the information in the?Planning and Deployment??topics.Test lab overviewIn this test lab, Exchange Server 2013 is deployed with:One computer running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition named DC1 that is configured as an intranet domain controller, Domain Name System (DNS) server, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, and an enterprise root certification authority (CA).One intranet member server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition named APP1 that is configured as a general application server.One intranet member server running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise Edition named EX1 that is configured as the Exchange Server 2013 email server.One roaming member client computer running Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate Edition named CLIENT1 that is configured with Microsoft Office 2013.This TLG only requires the Corpnet subnet. See the following figure for the Exchange Server 2013 test lab configuration.This Test Lab Guide describes how to install a Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 email server on the Corpnet subnet. You add a new computer named EX1, make it a member of the corp. domain, and then install Exchange Server 2013. Lastly, you use Outlook 2013 to send email from one mailbox to another.Hardware and software requirementsThe following are required components of this test lab:The product disc or files for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise.Three computers that meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise Edition.One computer that meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate Edition.The setup files for Microsoft Exchange Server 2013.

On the Incomplete Installation Detected page, click?Next?to have Exchange Setup correct the problem and complete the installation.Next, you verify the installation of Exchange Server 2013.On EX1, click?Start, click?All Programs, click?Microsoft Exchange Server 2013, and then click?Exchange Management Shell.At the Windows PowerShell command prompt, enter the following command:Get-ExchangeServerYou should see a display of information about the Exchange server, starting with?EX1?under Name.Leave the Exchange Management Shell window for the following procedure.Launch?, and then press ENTER.On the login screen, type?CORP\user1? in?User name?and the User1 account password in?Password, and then click?sign in.When prompted for a language and time zone, change as needed, and then click?Save.?You should see the?Exchange admin center.Step 5: Demonstrate EX1 as an email serverCreate new Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) accounts and their mailboxes on the EX1 Exchange server.At the Windows PowerShell command prompt of the Exchange Management Shell, enter the following command:Get-MailboxDatabaseThis command displays the list of databases on this Exchange server. There should be only one. Note the name for the commands in step 3.At the Windows PowerShell command prompt, enter the following command:$password = Read-Host "Enter password" –AsSecureStringWhen prompted with “Enter Password”, type?P@ssword1.At the Windows PowerShell command prompt, enter the following commands:New-Mailbox -UserPrincipalName chris@corp. -Alias chris -Database "<mailbox database name from step 1>" -Name ChrisAshton -OrganizationalUnit Users –Password $password -FirstName Chris -LastName Ashton -DisplayName "Chris Ashton"New-Mailbox -UserPrincipalName janet@corp. -Alias janet -Database "<mailbox database name from step 1>" -Name?JanetSchorr?-OrganizationalUnit Users –Password $password -FirstName?Janet?-LastName?Schorr?-DisplayName "Janet Schorr"Next, you send an email message from Chris Ashton to Janet Schorr.Connect CLIENT1 to the Corpnet subnet.On CLIENT1, log off as User1 and then log on with CORP\chris and the password P@ssword1.Click?Start, click?All Programs, click?Microsoft Office 2013, and then click?Outlook 2013.On the Welcome to Outlook 2013 page, click?Next.On the Add an Email Account page, click?Next.On the Auto Account Setup page, click?Next.On the Searching for your mail server settings page, click?Finish.On the First things first page, click?Use recommended settings, and then click?Accept.In?Outlook, click?New Email.In the new email window, on the?To?line, type?Janet Schorr, and then click?Check Names.On the?Subject?line, type?Test message to Janet, and then click?Send.If you are prompted after step 7 with a "Cannot start Microsoft Outlook" error message, do the following:Click?OK.Click?Start, click?Control Panel, click?User Accounts, and then click?Mail.In?Mail Setup-Outlook, click?Data Files.Click?Add, and then?OK.Click the new Outlook data file in the list, and then click?Set as default.Click?Close.Start the previous procedure at step 3.Next, you verify that the email message from Chris Ashton was received.Log off as Chris and then log on with CORP\janet and the password P@ssword1.Click?Start, click?All Programs, click?Microsoft Office 2013, and then click?Outlook 2013.On the Welcome to Outlook 2013 page, click?Next.On the Add an Email Account page, click?Next.On the Auto Account Setup page, click?Next.On the Searching for your mail server settings page, click?Finish.On the First things first page, click?Use recommended settings, and then click?Accept.In Outlook, you should see the email?Test message to Janet?from Chris Ashton.Snapshot the ConfigurationThis completes the Exchange Server 2013 test lab. The result is a test lab environment that contains a working server running Exchange Server 2013 that is configured as an intranet email server. You can now begin building out and experimenting with Exchange Server 2013 scenarios and solutions.To save this configuration so that you can quickly return to a working Exchange Server 2013 configuration, do the following:On all physical computers or virtual machines in the test lab, close all windows and then perform a graceful shutdown.If your lab is based on virtual machines, save a snapshot of each virtual machine and name the snapshots Exchange Server 2013. If your lab uses physical computers, create disk images to save the Exchange Server 2013 test lab configuration. ................
