Code-name Kodiak. It was Exchange-on-SQL. (SQL Server Yukon, what became SQL 2005.) It ran, but it was a dog; even on 64-bit systems.
There were learnings from that, both on the SQL side and on the Exchange side, but the decision was made to stick with ESE. And ESE has actually exploded in use in various places in Windows since then. Probably a couple of dozen features/roles that use ESE now. It's a major DB engine/platform - built into every Windows OS since Windows 2000 - that no one knows about. :-) -----Original Message----- From: Jason Gurtz [mailto:jasongu...@npumail.com] Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 8:49 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: OT, sorta: New blog post: Determining the Exchange Version - without using Get-ExchangeServer Quite nice Michael, thank you for continuing to post these scripts. This reminds me, what ever happened to Exchange v7 (2003 being 6.5, 2007 being 8). ~JasonG > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael B.
