If you choose the Typical Exchange Server Installation option, you will not be able to install the Unified Messaging server role, Edge Transport server role, or clustered mailbox servers during this installation. You can add additional server roles later if you choose not to install them during this installation.
10- If this is the first Exchange 2010 server in your organization, on the Exchange Organization page, type a name for your Exchange organization.
11- If this is the first Exchange 2010 server in your organization, on the Client Settings page, click the option that describes the client computers in your organization that are running Microsoft Office Outlook.
Note:
If you have client computers that are running Outlook 2003 or earlier and you select Yes, Exchange 2010 will create a public folder database on the Mailbox server. If all your client computers are running Outlook 2010, public folders are optional in Exchange 2010. If you select No, Exchange 2010 will not create a public folder database on the Mailbox server. You can add a public folder database later. For example, if you add client computers that are running Outlook 2003 and you need a public folder database, you can create one on the Exchange 2010 Mailbox server. You must then configure the offline address book for public folder distribution, and then restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service before client computers that are running Outlook 2003 and earlier will be able to connect to the server.
