Exchange 2007
I have Exchange 2003 running on server 2003 (almost 6 yrs trouble free) and now have a need to upgrade. I would like to run exchange 2007 sp2 on server 2008 sp2 64 bit? Just looking to see what problems I may run into? I have read that server 2008 R2 is a no no?? Is there anything special I need to do in order to get things ready? TIA

Dezmaster is correct its not supported yet it will be when SP3 will be released and good question Dez why not 2010
SP3 is planned for the second half of 2010 so you could be waiting a while.
Personally I would go for Windows 2008 R2 with Exchange 2010.
Before you install Exchange 2010 just remember to install the pre-requisites as per: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691354.aspx
Note the different scripts for 2008 R2, it's a common mistake we see here on EE

Our VOIP phone system plugs into Exchange and 2010 is not supported yet. I thin I will settle with server 2008 sp2 and Exchange 2007 sp2 for now. Thanks

When installing exchange you need to right click the setup files and click the option "run in compatability mode" otherwise it wont install until the fix is released SP3 for Exchange 2007 will addrress this
