You can install Exchange 14 management things onto Windows 7. ;-)It still doesn't get you anywhere because EMC won't see the 'forest' and I just haven't had the time to troubleshoot it or even ask a question about it yet. It will be interesting to see where the development effort gets put into tools-land.

Hi,What's your computer name? Please help us confirm it meets the installation requirement, see the following similar thread:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvradmin/thread/88d8d29b-775e-435d-baf9-b2440b87bd71/Regarding Windows 7, as it's still not released formally, the scenario is not supported. Thanks,Elvis
