On April 14, 2009, Microsoft released a beta version of Exchange Server 2010. To expand on Scott Schnoll’s blog on How to Install Exchange Server 2010 Beta, this topic will discuss how to install the Exchange 2010 Unified Messaging Server Role.
To install the Exchange 2010 Unified Messaging Server Role on a Windows Server 2008 operating system, the following prerequisites must be installed first:

Exchange Server 2010 also supports installing the above pre-requisites by using an Answer File with ServerManagerCmd, and answer files are included in the \Scripts folder. To use them, you run ServerManagerCmd -ip <Name of File>. For example:

The system and server will be checked for the prerequisites mentioned at the beginning of this blog.

Once all readiness checks have successfully passed, the Readiness Checks window will be displayed. Click Install.

While Setup is progressing, a Progress window will be displayed.

Click Finish to complete the installation of the Exchange Server 2010 Unified Messaging Server role.
If necessary, select Step 5: Get Critical Updates for Microsoft Exchange to download and install the latest patches, hotfixes, and upgrades for Exchange Server 2010 Beta.
