Executive Summary:
Take a tour through one Exchange administrator’s top 12 favorite features in Exchange Server 2007 SP1. In this unusually feature-rich service pack, the number one pick is the ability to install Exchange 2007 SP1 on Windows Server 2008. |
Exchange Server 2007 SP1 is an unusually feature-rich service pack. In addition to containing rolled-up information from all previously released updates, SP1 has many new and enhanced features. It was so hard to limit myself to 10 favorites that I’ve decided to cover the top 12 instead. Then I’ll let you in on a few caveats to be aware of before you install SP1. (For more information about Exchange 2007 SP1 features, see the Learning Path accompanying this article.)
1. Installing Exchange 2007 on Server 2008
For ease of deployment alone, the most important new functionality in SP1 is the ability to install Exchange 2007 on Windows Server 2008. To run Exchange 2007 on Server 2008, you’ll need to install Windows PowerShell, and configure Microsoft IIS 7.0. For articles providing detailed information on these tasks, see the Learning Path. . . .
