Without the installed Exchange System Manager no additional Exchange information will be visible in the Active Directory Users and Computers SnapIn. If you have multiple Exchange Servers and Mailbox Stores you can select the Server and Mailbox Store on which the mailbox will be created. It is possible to move Mailboxes between different Servers and Mailboxes after Mailbox creation. Note: It is not possible to move Mailboxes between different administrative …

Exchange 2007 introduces a new concept to Exchange organizations, the concept of server roles. Similar to how a Windows server can host one or more roles, this type of configuration has been implemented in Exchange Server 2007. Introduction Server roles allow an administrator to split the functions of an Exchange server and place each role, or a combination of roles, on different servers in the organization. This can be done for performance reasons, management reasons, or any other reason deemed necessary by the organization’s policies.

Introduction Installing Exchange 2007 is just as easy as previous versions, and once you have prepped AD, the rest is pretty straight-forward. That doesn’t mean you should throw in the CD and start clicking Next! Be sure to review the prerequisites in the first part of this series to reduce any confusion that may lead to errors or worse. GUI Installation With all the prerequisites taken care of we can begin the Exchange 2007 installation. The GUI-based installation is pretty straightforward. Insert the CD and run Setup.exe from the root of the disc. You will need certain permissions depending on your current configuration and how you prepared the domain.

Exchange 2007 changes the installation procedure, but it is still as easy as previous versions, as long as you understand the differences.

Introduction When I told the Microsoft SBS technical support team that I was writing this article, they thought I was crazy. Karan Rustagi said, “We’re never gonna get a support call for SBS 2003 with Exchange 2007.” Well, that’s fighting talk where I come from! Having said that, I tend to agree with them. Exchange 2007, by definition, is not really an SBS product, it is designed to have different roles off-loaded to different server boxes, although it can be installed on just one server. Conversely, SBS is designed to run on one server box. The final release of Exchange 2007 is only available in 64bit. Is there a 64bit SBS? If so, I’ve never seen any of my customers with a 64bit SBS server. So it’s not really possible to install Exchange 2007 directly on Small Business Server at present, but always good to keep the SBS technical support …
