Hi all,
I’m having some trouble finding specific documentation. Our organisation is currently quite small and we’re essentially designing our infrastructure from scratch.
I have installed an Exchange 2003 system in a Win 2003 environment, but I’m somewhat out of my comfort zone here so I am asking for help and any helpful sign posts to documents that I am having trouble finding.
The scenario is that we are to install our Windows 2008 AD DC soon with a plan to install Exchange 2007 on the same system. This is to facilitate our requirements until we separate the DC/Exchange functions later.
However, I’m having trouble finding documentation that specifies the potential pitfalls and practices of installing Exchange 07 directly on Server 08 as a single DC/Exchange server solution.
I am currently reading through the official MS and exchange.org guidelines on installing exchange 07 on server 08.
I’m aware this is a strongly discouraged configuration but it is neccesary only as an interim solution and I would much appreciate if anyone could help to point me in the right direction of any helpful docs or kindly provide any advice.
I am thinking this sounds like a freeloader topic, but I really am looking for dics but cant find anything past the standard docs which dont cater for a single-server solution.
Thanks all.
Kareem.
