Guest Barry Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Hi, We have a Windows Server 2003 system (x32) on which I need to install Exchange Server 2007. Am I right in assuming that this can only be installed on the x64 version of Server 2003? If that's correct, do I need to do a clean install of Server 2003 x64 on the machine or is it possible to convert the existing installation to the 64 bit version? (the processors are 64 bit Xeons in a Dell 1850, if that makes any difference). Regards + TIA, Barry.
