Re: Exchange 2007 in Longhorn Domain Install (No GC in site)

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

- Servers on which you install Exchange Server 2007: Microsoft Windows
Server 2003 x64 or Windows Server 2003 R2 x64, Standard or Enterprise
Edition. (Note the verbiage in the doc: " Exchange 2007 is specifically
designed to run on computers that are running Microsoft Windows Server
2003.").
- DC w/Schema Master role must have Win2003 SP1
- Domain(s) with Ex2007 servers or recipients should be in Win2000 native
mode or higher
- at least one GC in every Site where you plan to install Exchange 2007.
This GC must be Win2003 SP1

Longhorn server support should be available once it is released.

Hello.

Thanks for the speedy response.
Can you point me at the information that states this as I must have missed
this.

Exchange Server 2007 is not supported on Longhorn server at the moment,
neither is its existence in an environment with Longhorn DCs/GCs, afaik.

Hi,

I've got some VM's installed so I can test and learn about Exchange
2007.

I've installed Longhorn Beta2 and setup a DC (longhorn.local)
I've then installed a 64-bit copy of Windows 2003 and joined it to the
domain.
When I go to install Exchange, I went through the set-up and installed
the
.NET Framework, PS and the other hotfixes, but I get an error stating
that
there were no GC's (Global Catalogue) servers in my site.

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/Analyzer/67aca4a0-bc3f-4f8f-8297-b13e0d347942.mspx?mfr=true

Given that there is only 1 site (default) and 1 DC (which is by default
a
GC), I can't see why I'm getting this issue.

I'm going to install a second DC based on Windows 2003 x64 and see if
that
works but I don't know why I'm getting this issue. I also doubt this
will
work as when I installed my DC initially I told it to install
everything
at
the highest functional level.

Any ideas gratefully received.

Also, I tried installing Exchange initially on Longhorn, but I failed
to
get
the correct version of the PowerShell installed - Can someone point me
at
the
correct DL location for this too?
