Activate Exchange 2010 for SBS 2011

When you install SBS 2011, the Exchange Server 2010 installation should be activated automatically. However, in some cases, you it might not be. Typical situations where Exchange 2010 is not activated automatically include:

• Manual removal and installation of Exchange Server 2010
• Active Directory communication problems during installation

There is no license key provided for Exchange Server 2010 in SBS 2011. Instead, you need to download a hotfix from Microsoft to activate Exchange Server 2010. The hotfix is available here:
