Microsoft Exchange on Vista Business?

I am trying to install Microsoft Exchange on Vista Business. I tried
Exchange 2003, and the installation told me that this "cannot be installed
on this version of Microsoft Windows". So I tried Exchange 2007 - and I get
the same result. Surely Exchange is compatible with Vista????????

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.

Re: Microsoft Exchange on Vista Business?

All I want to do is be able to synchronise my Outlook data over the internet
with my Windows 5 Mobile device - to do this I need to have Outlook Web
Access (ie ability to look at my Outlook data over the internet) and to have
Outlook Web Acces, I need to install Exchange, no?

If I am wrong, what do I need to install on Vista to have Outlook Web
Access??

Short answer, no. It's not compatible with XP either, Exchange requires
a server operating system.

Nothing. In IE type http://server-public-ip-address/exchange or
https://server-public-ip-address/exchange if you use SSL.

Exchnage Server requires a server operating system and Active Directory, but
the server itself does not have to be a DC.

Re: Microsoft Exchange on Vista Business?

Ahh, you want to setup your account, you should let your Network
Administrator do this for you. Once your Corporate email account has been
setup for Outlook client, you should be able to sync your mail with your
Windows Mobile device.

Re: Microsoft Exchange on Vista Business?

To get access to your Outlook Web Access, contact your Network Admin, it
could be as simple as an IP Address you type in the browser or a Company URL
such as http://mail.company_name.com

Re: Microsoft Exchange on Vista Business?

I am a private user - I don't have a "network administer" whatever that is.
I just want to set Outlook to download my emails from various accounts
through its excellent spam filter, then synch my PDA with inbox and sent
folder over the internet.

I know i can set up my PDA to download messages directly, but then I get all
the spam.

Over the Internet, you mean when you're on the road and your computer is at
home ? Outlook by itself can't do that.
