Administrator's Guide

4 Configuring the messaging system software
This chapter explains how to configure system software using the E5000 Configuration Wizard
and how to deploy Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 using the E5000 Exchange Deployment Tool.
IMPORTANT: To configure the messaging system, you must run these tools on each server blade.
HP recommends that you fully complete the E5000 Configuration Wizard and E5000 Exchange
Deployment Tool on the Bay 1 server blade before beginning to configure the Bay 2 server blade.
After you have completed the initial configuration, be sure to install any available software updates
as described in “Upgrading E5000 software” (page 61).
Configuring server software
The E5000 should be powered on and the network ports cabled for your network configuration,
including the EMU port. For configurations that use expansion disk enclosures, such as the E5700,
all expansion disk enclosures should be cabled to the messaging system and powered on. Complete
the following steps, first on server 1, and then on server 2. Do not start on the second server until
you have completed the steps on server 1. When the server is powered on for the first time, it
completes the initial Windows configuration process and then launches the E5000 Configuration
Wizard.
To configure the software:
1. Enter your locale information in the Windows setup dialog box and accept the license terms.
The Windows setup completes in approximately 15 minutes and the server reboots. Upon
reboot, the server automatically logs on with the default password (HPinvent!) and the E5000
Configuration Wizard starts. After reading the welcome screen, click Next.
NOTE: If the automatic logon does not occur and a message displays that the user name
or password is incorrect, re-enter Administrator as the user name and HPinvent! as
the password to complete the logon and start the E5000 Configuration Wizard.
2. Set and confirm the server Administrator password. The Administrator password is required
only the first time you run the wizard. Click Next.
NOTE: The Windows Server 2008 R2 default password policy requires a strong password
as the server password for each server on the E5000 Messaging System. For more information
on strong passwords for Windows Server 2008 R2, see the following Microsoft Technet article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc736605(WS.10).aspx
3. Set the network configuration. Review each network port configuration and either accept the
default values or click Edit to change them. Click Next when finished.
