Hi all Is it possible to install the Exchange 2003 System tools (for the mmc users and computer) on Windows 2008 R2 and would that allow Mail accounts to be created from the AD Users and Computers Snap-in? Thanks for answers Jerome

Sorry, but there's no way! The answer is delivered by the ms exchange team! Management tools for the RTM version of Exchange 2007 and all previous versions of Microsoft Exchange are not supported for installation on a computer running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista.

maher is right, This is not possible in anyway. Exchange Server 2003 does not run on 64-bit editions of Windows Server 2003 also. Exchange Server 2003 management tools for remote administration can be installed on a computer running supported versions of Windows such as Windows Server 2003, or Windows Server 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4). Exchange Server 2003 management tools cannot be installed on a computer running Windows Vista. Anil
