Microsoft Exchange 2013
Microsoft Exchange is an email server. It is one of the email systems that Retain can connect to. It is helpful to have an Exchange server handy for testing. Microsoft is pushing people toward Office 365 but it is safe to say people will continue to use Exchange for 5-20 years.
Installing Microsoft Exchange 2013
You need to install Exchange 2013 on a Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 system.
The most important tool to have handy is the Exchange Server Deployment Assistant. This provides a great checklist of things you must do to successfully deploy an Exchange server.
We will want an On-premise, new install, with both Mailbox and CAS roles on board. We will NOT be using disjoint namespaces. We will NOT be using Unified Messaging (but it will install it anyway). We will NOT be using an Edge server.
Save that checklist.
Make sure to do the prerequisites!
Prerequisite installs
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. Just add the role/feature in Server Manager.

Preparing AD
First you need to extend the schema. Open a command prompt in administrator mode, go to the directory you downloaded exchange into and run
Setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
Now you have to prepare Active Directory this can be done right after the previous command.
Setup.exe /PrepareAD /OrganizationName:"<organization name>" /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
Now you have to prepare your AD domains and in the case of a lab you want to do all of them.
Setup.exe /PrepareAllDomains /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
