You can't install it on NT4. Period. Exchange 2K REQUIRES Active Directory.

The sort of problem you're likely to see is that the install will fail due to the lack of Active Directory... ;-) No W2k AD = no E2k.

You need to have at least windows 2k and sp1 with active directory running.

RE: Exchange 2k on NT4?? possible or not??
Lots of people will tell you it won't work. Most won't tell you why. Here is an overly simplified explaination. Exchange 5.5 and lower has basically 3 components: 1. Message store. Think of this as the big database where all the mail is 2. Connectors. This is how mail gets in and out. Like SMTP, CCMail, MSmail etc) AND this is how the directory gets to and from other exchange servers 3. Directory. This is the list of users and global address list, and the permissions, properties and such. Well, along comes Win2k. The directory (Active Directory) is basically and enhanced (stolen) version of the directory in exchange 5.5. In order for active directory to work, the directory has to be distributed/shared with other Win2k servers so the connectors are also built into win2k. So Exchange 2k is left with only the message store. It should be cheaper but it ain't! If you somehow managed to install E2k on NT4, you would have no mailbox names and no mail transports! Once again, overly simplified to save bandwidth.

Exchange 2000 runs ONLY on Win2k - it uses Active Directory - Something missing from NT4 :) Simon Weaver NT Domain Administrator Ext. 5544 Tel: 02392-705544 (Direct Dial) [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: John Sparrow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 19 October 2001 01:47:PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Exchange 2k on NT4?? possible or not?? hi all sorry to be a pain, think i may be a little dumb here :D what sort of problems would be likely to occur if i install ex2k on an NT box?? currently running a straight NT4 domain with the exception of 2 win2k pro workstations, all servers running nt4 sp6a probably talking out my ass again, sorry people,..its friday John Sparrow IT Support Assistant Computer Department Travco Ltd, London http://www.travco.co.uk List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm ...

RE: Exchange 2k on NT4?? possible or not?? ------NOT!!! -- depen ds on the features
Interestingly, I number of people have asked me the same question. My first response is to just yell back NO. Now I ask what is it about exchange 2000 that you feel a need to upgrade? Upgrade for Upgrade or is there some feature(s) you need. If it is a feature there are very good third party programs which will give you lots of the new features you get in E2K that run very well and cheaper on E5.5. So what features do you want from E2K that you can not get from E5.5? May we can help? ellery july Technical Lead Northwest Area Foundation 332 Minnesota e-1201 St. Paul, MN 55101 email - [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone - 651-225-3895 fax - 651-225-7695 -Original Message- From: John Sparrow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 8:32 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 2k on NT4?? possible or not?? --NOT!!! thanks everyone kinda get the picture :D had a feeling that, that was the case, i guess i was hoping that there was some sort of workaround or something thnaks tho John Sparrow IT Support Assistant Computer Department Travco Ltd, London http://www.travco.co.uk -Original Message- From: Rick Gasper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 2:07 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Exchange 2k on NT4?? possible or not??
