Even though you have already installed the Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 using the Add/Remove Programs item in an earlier practice, the Exchange Ser ver 2007 installation requires that you install a hotf ix for this software prior to deployment.

After installing critical components, you should reboot the computer and reapply Windows Server 2003 SP2. This will update the newly installed components. A common mistake made by systems administrators is to forget to reapply service packs after modifying the components of a server. Reapplying service packs is not necessary if you have used the Slipstream technique on the installation f iles.

In this practice, you will explore the functionality of the SCW. In the best of worlds, this wizard should be run after all applications and services that the server will provide to the network are made active. If you apply the results of the SCW to a computer prior to installing necessary services, you may block something that you will need later. In this practice, you will go through the SCW process and then roll the computer back to its original configuration. Although this practice is long, it will give you a good overview of the SCW s capabilities. This practice is being performed prior to the full installation of Exchange Server 2007 so to ensure that important services are not accidentally disabled. To complete this practice, perform the following steps: 1. Select the Add/Remove Programs item from Control Panel. 2. Click on Add/Remove Windows Components, place a check next to the Security Configuration Wizard component, and then click Next to complete the installation. Open the SCW from the Administrative Tools menu. 3. On the Welcome page, click Next. 4. On the Configuration Action page of the wizard, select Create A New Security Policy and then click Next.

5. Verify that the current server name appears on the Select Server page and then click Next. 6. On the Processing Security Configuration Database page, click View Configuration Database. This will bring up the current configuration. Scroll down to the Domain Controller entry and expand it as shown in Figure 1-9.

7. Close the SCW Viewer and then click Next on the Processing Security Configuration Database page. 8. On the Select Server Roles page, examine which roles the SCW has detected and then click Next. 9. On the Select Client Features page, shown in Figure 1-10, examine the list of features that the SCW has detected and then click Next. 10. On the Select Administration And Other Options page, review the detected administration options and then click Next. 11. On the Select Additional Services page, review the additional services that the server requires and then click Next. 12. On the Handling Unspecified Services node, ensure that the Do Not Change The Startup Mode Of The Service option is selected and then click Next.
