re: Adding Exchange 2007 to an SBS 2003 / Exchange 2003 network

Matt,

you would need Windows x64, with Virtual Server & the latest Service Pack to be able to host a x64 Exchange 2007 system. Then the config would start to enable your front and back end.

thanks

re: Adding Exchange 2007 to an SBS 2003 / Exchange 2003 network

Hi,

Currently I run SBS 2003 in a VM environment (as its just for the family).

What I would like to do is upgrade to Exchange 2007 to benefit from the better OWA features.

I dont want to ditch SBS '03 as it works well in VM and under 32 bit hardware.

Have you any recommendations on how to get both Exchange 2007 and SBS syncronising between servers (in an environment where both SBS 03 and Exchange 07 are running as seperate VM's)? (I have never done any clustering before, just home admin).

Ideally I want to end up with a SBS 32-bit Post Office as a backup syncing to the 64bit server, as that can be easily ported to any machine in the house under a Virtual Server. Just having a 64-bit VM really limits the hardware and software it can run under.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the article,

Matt
