Hi.Will Microsoft be releasing tools to manage exchange 2003 from windows 7 (32 and 64bit). We as IT engineers are the first to test new platforms when they become available so as to advise business on the steps forward and if it is worth upgrading. Windows 7 has been out for a couple of months and still there are no tools available to support the above two platforms forcing us to stay on windows xp. If someone has custom compiled management tools that work for these platforms, specifically 64bit, it wil be appreciated.Regards,Morris Morn Fourie AFRIDATA.net Cell: +27 83 283 5893 Office: +27 83 283 5893 Fax: 086 658 5062 Email: morne@afridata.net

Hi,Seems like you can install the tools on windows 7 RTM 32bit at the moment.Please refer to this post:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvradmin/thread/40f8f710-b447-4a0d-8504-1f07e5483ad0Frank Wang

HI.I have windows 7 64bit. It is a bit worrying that I cannot effectively manage my networks with the latest technology. It keeps growth back. I can use the system manager but the exchange tabs on active directory users and computers are missing.Morn Fourie AFRIDATA.net Cell: +27 83 283 5893 Office: +27 83 283 5893 Fax: 086 658 5062 Email: morne@afridata.net

You may need to wait Microsoft to release new 64bit software version. You can use Remote Desktop to connect to your exchange server now.Frank Wang

Hi Everyone. Thanks for your input. It seems there is no proper solution. Come one Microsoft, you are messing with our productivity :-)Best regards,MorrisMorn Fourie AFRIDATA.net Cell: +27 83 283 5893 Office: +27 83 283 5893 Fax: 086 658 5062 Email: morne@afridata.net
