You are the Exchange administrator for your company. The company operates three offices.
The network consists of a single Active Directory domain. Each office has one domain controller that runs Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
You plan to deploy one Exchange Server 2003 computer in each office. Each Exchange server must be placed in a separate administrative group.
The forest and the domain are already prepared to support Exchange Server 2003.
When you try to install the first Exchange server, you discover that you cannot choose an administrative group in which to place the server. You cancel the installation.
You need to ensure that you can choose an administrative group during installation.
What should you do?
A.
Install Exchange Server 2003 by running the setup /choosedc command and specify the local domain controller.
B.
Install Exchange System Manager. Create the administrative groups.
C.
Install Exchange System Manager. At the Exchange organization level assign the Exchange Full Administrator permissions to the account used to install Exchange Server 2003.
D.
At the Administrative Groups container level use Active Directory Sites and Services to assign the Full Control permission to the account used to install Exchange Server 2003.
Explanation:
By default, if one Exchange server has been installed only one administrative group, the First Administrative Group exists.
To be able to install the FIRST Exchange server in a different administrative Group than the default, the required administrative group must be created prior to the installation.
If the administrative group or routing group already exists, a server only can be assigned to a routing group or to an administrative group during the installation phase.
By default, if one Exchange server has been installed only one administrative group, the First Administrative Group exists.
To be able to install the FIRST Exchange server in a different administrative Group than the default, the required administrative group must be created prior to the installation.
The forest and the domain are already prepared to support Exchange Server 2003. You must install the Exchange System Manager tool choosing a custom action during the setup.
Incorrect Answers
A:
Exchange Setup includes the new /ChooseDC switch.
You can now enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of a Windows domain controller to force Setup to read and write all data from the specified domain controller
(the specified domain controller must reside in the domain where you install your Exchange 2003 server). When installing multiple Exchange 2003 servers simultaneously,
forcing each server to communicate with the same Active Directory directory service domain controller ensures that replication latencies do not interfere with Setup and cause installation failures.
"setup.exe" /ChooseDC "Your FQDN Server name here" The principal reason to use this switch is to avoid errors during multiple Exchange setup running to same time.
C, D:
Exchange System Manager by default is installed when you install the first Exchange server.
Also is required to permit administrators who are assigned the Exchange Full Administrator administrative role at the administrative group level to install and to remove Exchange Server 2003, to upgrade servers,
and to perform disaster recovery on servers that are in that administrative group.
