You can install the exch5.5 admin console onto Windows 2003 Server from the ex2k3 setup routine. Win2k3 is the os I run on my laptop and I've got the 5.5 admin util installed and running fine.
That is what you were asking, right? b -----Original Message----- From: Blunt, James H (Jim) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 28, 2004 5:01 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange Admin Console on Win2k3... Thanks Martin...I suspected as much. How the heck am I supposed to backup my Exchange 5.5 boxes using 9.1 then? Do I have to keep our same old POS backup unit around, just to backup our Exchange systems? And while I'm on a tirade, why isn't it supported? E2k3 is brand new, as is Veritas BEWS 9.1. Support for Ex5.5 doesn't run out until the end of the year, and Veritas supposedly will backup Ex5.5. So it sounds like it SHOULD work. Unless someone can shed some light on a workaround, I guess it's back to another 1/2 hour wait on the phone with Veritas.

I don't think so. Its not supported. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Blunt, James H (Jim) Sent: Monday, June 28, 2004 1:47 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange Admin Console on Win2k3... Environment: Exchange servers: Ex5.5 SP4 on Win2k SP4 Backup server: Veritas 9.1, Rev 4691 on Win2k3 Standard, fully patched. Admin workstation: WinXP SP1 with Ex5.5 SP4 Admin Console installed. Problem: Need to install the Exchange 5.5 Admin Console on the new Veritas BE 9.1 server, in order to start backing up my Exchnge servers. I started up the install, clicked on the "Setup Server" option, then clicked on the "MS Exchange Server 5.5" option...however nothing happened. I saw what looked to be a command prompt flash briefly behind the menu, but it went away immediately. Am I going to be able to install the Exchange 5.5 console on Win2k3? I looked briefly through the list archives and couldn't find anything. I looked through the MSKB and found this: Exchange Server Compatibility with Windows Server 2003 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;810591&Product=ech Which would seem to indicate to me, that while not supported, Exchange 5.5 should work on Win2k3 Standard...yes?
