RE: Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010

A while back I sent this question in whether we should go with Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010. We were leaning toward 2007 because the plan was to be on it by now. However, we still have not installed Exchange in production and we have SA through our Microsoft agreement. We are going to be insta

Still is, in my opinion, as far as Exchange 2010. Quest's tool isn't yet ready (late this month I believe is the forecast), Microsoft's free tool isn't ready (no comment on availability that I know of) but FIM 2010 has RTM'ed (but I don't know GA), and there is another third party that JUST rele

I think it's actually the reverse - it CAN be installed on a server that houses Exchange for small environments but preferred would be a separate server. From: sms adm [mailto:sms...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2010 12:56 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Su

This is probably a dumb question, but I don't have a lot of experience in the Exchange resource forest model, but if all companies forests have trusts setup with the resource forest and the mailboxes are on the same Exchange server would I even need a GAL synch tool? -Original Message-

It can be installed on a member server, but the member server must have the same version of ESM installed - that includes service pack and updates. Therefore you will be limited on OS support to the same as Exchange 2003. It is actually preferred to install it on a member server - it is fine on t
