Based on installing Exchange Server 2013 on Windows Server 2012. What are the prerequisites if one wants to install it on the member server?

Answer 1

Hi Simtandile,
It depends basically which role you are deploying.
Considerting its the first Exchange Server in your environment, below are the generic requirements.
The computer you want to use to prepare Active Directory for Exchange 2013 has specific prerequisites that must be met.
Install the following software on the computer that will be used to prepare Active Directory:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5
The version of Windows Management Framework that corresponds to the version of Exchange 2013 you're installing.
Exchange 2013 CU3  
Windows Management Framework 3.0
Exchange 2013 SP1 or later  
Windows Management Framework 4.0
Note:
.NET Framework 4.5 and Windows Management Framework 3.0 are included with Windows Server 2012 and don't need to be installed separately.
.NET Framework 4.5 and Windows Management Framework 4.0 are included with Windows Server 2012 R2 and don't need to be installed separately.
NOTE:- WindowsServer2012R2 would require minimum ExchangeServer2013SP1 to work properly.

I would recommend you using the
Exchange Server Deployment Assistant for deploying it.
