How to install Exchange Server 2007 on Windows Server 2003

[Guest Barry]

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.

Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel EM64T) or AMD processor that

supported.

 

 

Operating system

. Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64 or Windows Server 2003 R2 x64,

Standard or Enterprise Edition

 

. Exchange Server 2007 management tools can also be

installed on a 32-bit computer running Windows Server 2003 SP1 (Standard or

Enterprise Editions), Windows Server 2003 R2 (Standard or Enterprise
