From: Webster [mailto:carlwebs...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, March 02, 2009 9:40 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 2007 HT/CAS and Server 08 Web Edition Is there a way to find out if Exchange 2007 HT and or CAS roles running on Server 2008 Web Edition is a PSS/CSS supported configuration? Webster From: Webster [mailto:carlwebs...@gmail.com] Subject: RE: Exchange 2007 HT/CAS and Server 08 Web Edition From: Doige, Clayton [mailto:clayton.do...@cme-net.com] Subject: RE: Exchange 2007 HT/CAS and Server 08 Web Edition That's what I mean, they will run it on the cheap, and then when they get in trouble and call PSS they will be told so sad too bad, and what will that cost??? He claims to have "talked directly with Microsoft" and while it may not be a "recommended" config it IS a "supported" config. Meaning you can call PSS/CSS and receive support for either or both roles running on an 08 Web Edition server.

This person says the Web Edition costs about $1000US less than the other editions. Says when a customer is pinching pennies, it helps to close the deal by offering them the Web Edition. Webster From: Webster [mailto:webs...@carlwebster.com] Subject: Exchange 2007 HT/CAS and Server 08 Web Edition According to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996719.aspx, Server 2008 Web Edition is NOT a recommended OS for Exch 07. I have someone who insists that it is a supported OS and that you can install the HT and or CAS roles on 08 Web Edition. My viewpoint is, if it is not on that page, we should not be recommending it to a customer. Just wanted to get your thoughts on the matter.
