To above post, sounds like you’ve had some experience installing Exchange server 2003.

adprep /Forestprep and /domainprep have been replaced by setup.com /preparead and are run through the GUI.

You’ll still want to run the “DCDIAG” command.

What is the issue with exchange 2007 and OABs. i have installed it on serveral different single server environment and they all seem to have problem with downloading OABs on outlook clients. odd thing is that owa works fine. it used to be the other way around. I haven’t been able to find a solution to this problem anywhere and i am not the only one.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for your question!

It’s not easy to decide if your company should bring their Exchange Servers in-house or continue to outsource the services. And you’re not alone. Many small to medium-size business owners are faced with the same problem.

There are a few factors that you need to take into consideration including: the number of mailboxes you will use, your budget, your IT resources, and much more.

For a comprehensive list of all the pros and cons check out this article from Microsoft: Hosted or in-house email?
(link: http://www.microsoft.com/uk/smallbusiness/growing/technology-in-business/working-together/microsoft-exchange-hosted-or-inhouse.mspx )

Another useful source is this article by Work.com: Guide to Selecting a Hosted Microsoft Exchange Provider vs. In-House Microsoft Exchange Server.
(link: http://www.work.com/selecting-a-hosted-microsoft-exchange-provider-vs-in-house-microsoft-exchange-server-1323/)

Another solution that I would suggest looking into is the Microsoft Small Business Server. SBS integrates many enterprise level solutions such as: SQL Server, SharePoint Services, IIS Web Server and of course, the Exchange Server.

SBS was designed with companies like yours in mind and it might be the perfect solution. Here is a link to Microsoft for more information on Small Business Center.

I hope this information is helpful! Please feel free to leave me another comment if you have more questions.

Happy Holidays!
Gosia

We are on hosted Exchange 2003 with 123Together but are looking at 07 on our own servers or staying with the hosted option. Your steps were helpful in helping us think this through. We are a small shop with up to ten users. Should we stay with the hosting route?
