I finally got around to checking out a new movie. Click, this movie was a rip off of Miltiplicity with a few crappy jokes in the middle. I really think they could have had more fun with it. Like the movie ClickStoppers. I give it a “rent if there is nothing else” review.

I had to write a exchange 2007 report for a client today it had a lot of handy links so I posted the link part of my report here.

 

That is correct you need to put the 2003 server in native mode see the following link

As for not connecting to your schema master and RUS you need to run the ‘prepare____’ commands (forestprep/domainprep) before exchange 2007 will be allowed to talk to the AD infrastructure.

Yes you can run Exchange12 out of your current environment and put SMTP connectors like we did with other companies. Just grow a new server put AD on it make it the Forest master /domain master, etc. then install Exchange (I gave a more user friendly link then Microsoft site with step by step if you want to attempt this on your own)

 

Friendly install link

Using Exchange12 with ADAM

From my understanding this is for performance and DR see following link – an “edge server” is a server out of your primary net… think DMZ

As for uninstalling Exchange 2007 I have no experience with this at all yet. My test environment is not one which I currently want to pull things out of at this moment. However Google has a few topics on the matter (none look like the answer is yes)

they spend development time in making a super duper product remover. So if you rworking on a PC and NAV is being a pest use this…
