Install DKIM on Exchange Server 2019 and Windows Server Core without desktop experience installed¶
To enable DKIM signature on Exchange 2019 and Server Core without desktop experience installed, you should download the DKIM Installer , and then run it under DOS command or PowerShell.
Remote desktop installation is supported, but running the installer by Windows Admin Center -> PowerShell remotely is not supported.
DOS command:
eaxchdomainkeys.exe
PowerShell:
./eaexchdomainkeys.exe
Slient Installation¶
DKIM installer supports silent mode, you can use the following command to start silent installation.
DOS command:
start /wait eaxchdomainkeys.exe /S
PowerShell:
start eaexchdomainkeys.exe -ArgumentList /S -Wait
Installer Command Arguments¶
The following arguments are case-sensitive.
- /s or /S runs the installer or uninstaller silently.
- /exchange installs DKIM on Exchange Server only, ignore IIS SMTP service.
- /iis installs DKIM on IIS SMTP service only, ignore Exchange Server.
- /manager installs DKIM management tools only.
DKIM Management Shell¶
Because DKIM Manager doesn’t support server core without desktop experience installed, so you should use “DKIM Management Shell” to manage DKIM configuration.
Use DKIM Manager with Server Core¶
If you would like to manage DKIM using GUI Manager, there is an alternative solution:
You can run DKIM installer on a client machine (Windows 7 - Windows 10) without Exchange Server installed, the DKIM management tool will be installed.
After the DKIM manager is installed, open DKIM manager and create domain(s),
then click “Open Config Folder”, find [domain].json files in config folder,
copy those files to Your Exchange Server\DKIM installation path\dkim,
then your Exchange Server has the same configuration.
The default installation path is: C:\Program Files (x86)\EAExchDomainKeys.
