Before any Network Administrators start thinking about installing the Microsoft Exchange server 2013, there are a couple of points that need to be taken into consideration.
- Exchange 2013 cannot be deployed on server 2003R2 or server 2008
- Exchange 2013 can only be deployed on new hardware; upgrade of a local system is not permitted.
- Be sure to read the following Microsoft article. It will help with the installation and the necessary prerequisites.

These prerequisites are required for the installation so that the Active Directory server is able to support all functionality and vice versa. Failing to perform this task will, in the long run, provide numerous headaches.
