Is there a timeline for getting a compatible version of this software for Windows 8 Enterprise x64.  As an IT Professional, this is really getting in the way of my ability to enjoy your new OS.  I have work to do, and its not enjoyable bouncing back and forth between OS's to get it done.  Other than this issue there is only minor annoyances, and I can be patient for resolutions.

Thank you,

What version of Exchange are you using?  I have the Management Console for Exchange 2010 installed and running happily under Win8 Ent x64.  Installed from the Exchange dvd, patched to the same level as the server (that was a sticking point for me initially, didn't realise the versions had to match exactly).

Running it via the following batch file, which I found in another thread somewhere.  Your short filenames may vary depending on what else you have installed, it's "Exchange Management Console.msc" you're looking for.

set __COMPAT_LAYER=RUNASINVOKER
set COMPLUS_Version=v2.0.50727
start C:\Progra~1\Microsoft\Exchan~1\V14\Bin\Exchan~1.msc

I will try your suggest out and let you know.

Perfection.  I am a happy IT Support Technician.  Thanks for the assistance.

This app-compatibility workaround is nice, but something an IT professional should not have to do.  There is not a good reason in the world why Exchange Server 2010 SP2 Management Console Tools should not be fully supported on Windows 8.

I could understand Exchange Server 2003 and 2007 not being supported.  However, willfully not supporting the Management Console Tools for 2010 is a fail of tremendous magnitude on MSFT's part.

Bad enough we, IT professionals using standard desktop/workstation systems sans touch monitors, have to endure the dreadful Start Menu.

And don't get me stated on Server 2012.

Working, but still not happy.

You have no idea what you've done for me.  If you were here in person I may have kissed you.

Thank you,
