installing exchange server 2003 on Vista

Is this possible? I can't get it to install, but after searching Microsoft
website I can't find anything to confirm that it won't work.

You can install the Administrative Tools for Exchange, but I am afraid you
can't install the software itself on Vista since it requires a Domain
Controller on a Windows Server System to tie into the Active Directory
service to provide its core functionality.

Hello Ric,

You have to install exchange on a server operating system not on workstation.

OT, but Exchange Server does NOT require to be installed on a DC, and it is
not recommended to do so.

Hello ThePro,

But it still has to be installed on an SERVER operating system.

Re: installing exchange server 2003 on Vista

My knowledge is Exchange Server requires Active Directory, AD requires the
server be promoted as a DC.

Then your knowledge is wrong. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875427/ .

Quote from this article "For performance and for scalability, we recommend
that you install Exchange 2000 Server or Exchange Server 2003 on a member
server instead of on a domain controller."

Re: installing exchange server 2003 on Vista

A member Server within the Active Directory, there are dependencies, you
will have the Master DC, Child DC - which Exchange would be installed on.
Also that quote is a recommendation, not a requirement, look at Windows
Small Business Server, it installs all mission critical applications on the
same Server running as a DC, ISA, Exchange, SQL, and AD.
