Install Exchange 2013 with DSC
- by Alain Laventure
I tried to install Exchange 2013 with the resource windowsProcess in existing Exchange Configuration.
All prerequisites are installed (the Exchange Organization still exists).
This is my Resource section:
WindowsProcess Exchange2013 {
Credential=$credential
Path= "C:\Sources\Cumulative Update 5 for Exchange Server 2013 (KB2936880)\Setup.exe"
Arguments= "/mode:Install /role:Mailbox /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms /TargetDir:C:\EX2013"
Ensure= "Present"
} #End Filter
} #End Node
} # End configuration
/*
@TargetNode='TargetDSC02'
@GeneratedBy=exadmin
@GenerationDate=08/02/2014 08:16:03
@GenerationHost=SOURCEDSC02
*/
instance of MSFT_Credential as $MSFT_Credential1ref
{
Password = "Password1";
UserName = "S05\\Exadmin";
};
Exadmin is a member of Orgaganization Management Group and it is also member of Domain Admin Group, to be able to install Exchange
When I execute this resource , Exchange Installation Start but after 1 minute the installation stops with this error:
Failed [Rule:GlobalServerInstall] [Message:You must be a member of the 'Organization Management' role group or a member of the 'Enterprise Admins' group to continue.]
To be sure that the right is really the problem
I create a special User with only Administrator right of the Exchange server and with no Exchange Permission
I run manually on the new Exchange server .\Setup.exe /mode:Install /role:Mailbox /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms /Targetdir:C:\EX2013
And I got the Same error that with DSC.
After I add my test user in the Organization Management Group
and I run again manually .\Setup.exe /mode:Install /role:Mailbox /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms /Targetdir:C:\EX2013
And the Exchange 2013 installation finish without any error.
That prove that the problem with DSC is Permission right.
