Test Exchange Server 2007
Hello - I have an existing network running Server 2003 Std. SP2 as a domain controller. I have a Fileserver with multiple server roles (DNS, DHCP and AD). I have a test server that is part of my current domain, however is not a domain controller. I'd like to install Exchange on this server and test features (shared calendar, ODA, shared task, emailing, etc...).
My concern is that when I do a install it gives me errors and I do not want to change anything that I will regret later wheather I get exchange project approved or not.
Is this the best practice to install a test exchange on an existing network?
Will it be easy to setup another server with exchange if we get this approved?
Note: I will be upgrading to a differant server/hardware to 64bit (Server 2003) and of course RAM and other requirements in order to satisfy Exchange 2007. The current test server is just for testing purposes. Again I just want to ensure that I can either recreate or transfer to a whole new server.
Below are the errors I'm getting while installing and my concern is if I change/modify existing network, again is this a smart move?
These are the errors I get and must change/fix in order to proceed with install.
