This topic provides sample batch files that can be used as a starting point for creating the batch files required to make a build DVD to improve the server build process. You can modify the following procedures to create the necessary batch files for your organization.

The following sample scripts must be modified as described in the script remarks in order to make them functional in your specific environment. This script will help you automate many of the steps required to deploy an Exchange server in your environment.

Sample Batch Files

Important:
These scripts are samples to illustrate how automation steps can be implemented. You must modify them to make them appropriate for your environment. You must test everything in a lab environment prior to attempting to use them in your production environment.

Important:
Where a batch file calls for the installation of a file, you will need to ensure that the file has been downloaded and placed in the appropriate installation directory. For more information, see How to Create a Configuration DVD and Automation Files.

Before You Begin

To perform the following procedures, the account you use must be a member of the Local Administrators group.

For more information about permissions, delegating roles, and the rights that are required to administer Exchange 2007, see Permission Considerations.
