Back in December, Gosia Grabowska posted the article on how to install Exchange Server 2007 on Windows Server 2003, which walked you through the steps required for installing Exchange Server 2007 on Windows Server 2003.
In this article, I’ll go into a little more depth and walk you through installing Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 on Windows Server 2008.
Since the RTM (Release to Manufacturing) version of Windows Server 2008 has not been released at the time of this article, the installation covered here was performed on Beta 3 of Windows Server 2008. So beware: the installation may be a bit different on the RTM version.
Another thing I should point out is that the RTM version of Exchange Server 2007 does not support installing to Windows Server 2008.
Since Windows Server 2008 was not ready for development and testing of Exchange Server 2007 before its original release, support for the new operating system was postponed for the release of Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1. Exchange Server 2007 SP1, released in September of 2007, does support installing to Windows Server 2008 as planned.
If you’ve purchased the RTM version of Exchange Server 2008, SP1 is available for download at Microsoft TechNet.
Since Exchange Server 2007 SP1 includes all the files necessary for installing Exchange Server 2007 there is no need to perform any slipstreaming with the RTM version. Perhaps the Exchange team released SP1 packaged with all the Exchange 2007 installation files in an attempt to make installing to Windows Server 2008 as simple as to Windows Server 2003
