6. Here’s the best practice to use when determining role installation order:

   1. • Client Access Server: Preps the environment for users to use the new services.
   2. • Hub Transport Server: Required for most inter-role and inter-server communication.
   3. • Mailbox Server: Holds mailboxes, but in order to access or handle mail, requires that a Client Access Server and Hub Transport Server be in place.
   4. • Unified Messaging: Depends on all of the other roles to do its work.

   The Edge Transport Server is not included in this list since it stands alone and cannot coexist with any of the above roles. If you do decide to use an Edge Transport Server, it’s best to install this role after you have a functioning Hub Transport Server since these two systems will be intertwined.
