Exchange 2007 SysMgmt Team blog posts roundup

I have previously listed the progress we've been making in posting ITPro focused Systems Management blog posts to the EHLO team blog in my "Continuing with SysMgmtBlog Posts" and "Exchange 2007 SysMgmt bloggers want your input" postings. 

To recap - If you've not been watching the EHLO (MS Exchange Team) blog, you've missed a ton of great Exchange 2007 Systems Management related blog posts! Now that the product is finished, we're rounding out the final surge of blog posts we'd planned to do when we started last fall. Since that last post at the beginning of November, we've posted another 14 blog posts on various SysMgmt topics for a total of 31 posts since we started at the end of August!

    Hi Michael - unfortunately I don't have the answer you want to hear. Exchange 2003 management tools aren't supported (and can't be installed) in Windows Vista. I suppose this is primarily because Exchange 2003 came out 4 years ago and I don't know that there's any service pack in sight to provide this support. Upgrade to 2007 tools isn't really a solution in some cases, as 2007 management tools won't provide 100% coverage for things you may need to manage on your 2003 servers (X400 connectors, etc). Not sure why someone would have been suggesting this route. The better answer is probably to do one of these two:

  1. Use Terminal Services admin sessions to connect directly to the Exchange servers and do management there.
  2. Use VPC to host an XP Pro image you can run when needed (at your desktop) to do the management as "admin-only" configuration.
