Windows Server 2012 RTM became available a few days ago. Many of you have been busy downloading and testing this latest and greatest version of Windows Server and now you're waiting to find out when you can install Exchange on it.

If you’re testing or planning to test Exchange Server 2013 Preview, it is compatible with Windows Server 2012. For details, see Exchange 2013 System Requirements.

Exchange 2010 SP2 is not supported on Windows Server 2012 (see list of supported operating systems in Exchange 2010 System Requirements). We’re working on updates to add Windows Server 2012 support to Exchange 2010 and will announce on this blog when we have more to share.

    A German guide what you need to do, to install Exchange 2013 Beta on Server 2012 is available at my homepage http://www.fabian-niesen.de/email/ex2013/vorbereitung-fur-die-installation-von-exchange-2013-preview-unter-windows-server-2012-rp.html

    It was written for Public Preview of Server 2012, but the stepts are the same.

    Exchange 2013 is not supported on server core, however it's easy to turn Windows 2012 server core into server with a GUi by adding the User Interfaces and Infrastructure features.
