SBS 2008 Standard Installation

After installing SBS 2008 Standard, most of the installers wonder why the Exchange 2007 having so many Errors in startup. After giving the command Get-ExchangeServer they can see only one role installed which is Hubtransport.

Default SBS Installation wont install the other necessary roles for Exchange 2007 (Client Access & Mailbox Server).

Here are the steps to do that manually.

Check the roles:

get-ExchangeServer | Format-Table Name, ServerRole

Add more roles:

Setup /mode:install /roles:CA

Other /roles: include ‘UM’ Unified Messaging, ‘MB’ Mailbox, or ‘ET’ Edge Transport.

Now your SBS 2008 Starts without any errors and you can add users mailboxes or migrate.
