Yeah Microsoft seems to have a knack or maybe a sub-market to keep their consulting services alive. It's not that bad if you RTFM but it seems to be overly complex for something that could have been integrated into AD. About 1/4 of the needed information is already in the LDAP shcema. I don't know why they couldn't clean up the exchange shcema extension and make it part of the default AD LDAP shcema. On Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 2:51 PM, Robin Wood <robin () digininja org> wrote:

Exchange is a whole beast all by it self http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996058(EXCHG.80).aspxDidn't realise it would be that tricky to install, was just going to build a 2008 server then install Exchange 2010 and hope for the best, looks like I might have some reading to do before hand.

As I'm installing Exchange on a separate machine is it obvious how the two will link together?

My windows test lab is looking a bit sparse on data, I've got plenty of web and sql data but nothing much in my AD and I'm about to setup an Exchange server which won't get much beyond a couple of accounts to test the setup worked. I've also got Sharepoint to install (blessed is Technet!) which will start out empty. Does anyone have any canned data for AD, Sharepoint or Exchange so I can beef it all up a bit? Even better, is there an easy way to script creating data so that I can generate a load to my own specs?
