Which Active Directory Version is the best design for Exchange 2010
Dear All
Our customer have environment of Windows 2003 Active directory and they have Exchange 2003
Organization so now they buy new exchange 2010 license and they need to implement it, should I recommend them to upgrade their infrastructure to windows 2008 active directory or let’s them implement
with windows 203 active directory, and they need to publish OWA by ISA 2006, I’m not sure it support Exchange 2010 or not
Please let’s me know which way is good design ( if you have link of document for reference please give it to me too )
Thank you for your support

The best will be to go 2008 r2 on the domain level. ISA will only publish the OWA and it has nothing to do with the version of exchange.
This might help you out
