Trying this procedure onto a windows server 2012 R2.

All goes well until I came to Step 4. Once I launch .setup I get an error message:

Unhandled Exception: OutOfMemoryException

I cannot proceed and I don’t have any other details. What could it be?

  you can run the setup directly. only for larger environments you need to run that separately.

    Sorry for misunderstanding actually my question is ..
    
    Do we also need to install Exchange in Domain Controller or we have to install it only in CAS and Mailbox servers ?
    
    Thanks

      Not on Domain Controllers –
      Co-locating all roles in one server is recommended. Don’t split them

        you means CAS and Mailbox should be one same Server . Its recommended ?
      - Satheshwaran Manoharan September 27, 2015 At 4:58 am
        
        Yes it is recommended. Should be on Same Server

  No.. prepare commands needs to be done only once in a single domain environment.

Or you can just follow the wizard and cklicj the radio buttons that does all that powershell tying for you.

It maybe be not as cool…but does the same job in less time.

  in large environments . It preferred to go step by step As replication may take more hours.
