Deploying Exchange Server 2007
There are many prerequisites for Exchange Server 2007. In order to have a functional and supported
configuration, the Exchange administrator needs to understand the requirements and limitations of the
requirements.
One of the biggest impacts on the design and deployment of Exchange Server 2007 is how other
applications in your environment interact with Exchange. Do you have systems that use forms stored in
a public folder, or create items in public folders? Do you have any existing applications that use custom
dlls or shims to interact with Exchange? Though these may seem like remote what - if scenarios, in the
original release of Exchange Server 2007 not all vendors supported their existing software interacting
with Exchange Server 2007. Many companies were left with no choice but to leave a legacy Exchange
2003 server in place to allow the legacy applications to continue to have connectivity to the messaging
system.
