Hi There,

If I try to install Exch2007 tools on Vista (because we can't install
2003!) in an Exchange 2003 environment, it asks to modify the AD
schema.

Anyone know if this will break Exchange 2003 at all?

Thanks and Regards,

B

I wouldn't try running both on one box. Just run up a virtual PC
instance of XP and do that. It's way simpler. Of course, there is:

but I don't know if that will interfere with your running of EMC/EMS
and ESM all together.

Hi
You cannot use Exchange 2007 management Console to administer Exchange 2003
servers.

What I was more particularly interested in, rather than using the
Management Tools is the availability of the CreateMailBox() function
to be used by VBS to create mailboxes.

The above link describing the method to register those DLLs don't seem
to make that function available.

Hi
this should be part of Exchange Management CDO (cdoex.dll).
Have you tried this:

Hi There,

Thanks for the pointers.

I'll give it a whirl tomorrow if I get time.

Great idea.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

However, as per documentation mentioned in
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l...EXCHG.80).aspx

Important:
Although you can view the Exchange 2007 configuration objects in
Exchange System Manager in Exchange 2003, you must use only Exchange
2007 tools to manage Exchange 2007 objects.

Its best not to use any such thought of working with E2k7 tools on
E2k3 objects - Read this documentation further written in .
http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/20...09/429135.aspx

So which tools to use on which objects? Here's the easy list to
remember:

- Exchange 2007 mailboxes must be managed with Exchange 2007
management console or shell.
- Exchange 2007 mailboxes MUST NOT be managed with Exchange 2003
tools. Note that this is not blocked, but mailboxes managed from
Exchange 2003 ADUC will not be fully functional.
- Exchange 2003 mailboxes can be edited or removed with Exchange 2007
tools, but cannot be created by Exchange 2007 tools

Hope this clears all your questions.

heh.. Those CDO things don't install when Outlook is installed on the
same machine.
