there is a 32 bits version of E2007 for testing purpose (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232170.aspx) where can I find it ? (on MSDN, it seems that there is only the 64 bits version of E2007) thanks
Have a read of http://blogs.technet.com/scottschnoll/archive/2006/12/31/exchange-2007-platforms-and-product-keys.aspx The way I understand it is that because you can't actually purchase a 32 bit version of Exchange 2007 the only version that will ever be made available with be the trial version. This makes a lot sense if you are seriously developing code for Exchange 2007 then you should be using a 64 bit development environment (eg you want to mirror your production environment as much as possible) the 32 bit stuff is more for the SysAdmins to kick the tires. There are 32 bit version of the management tools available on http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6be38633-7248-4532-929b-76e9c677e802&DisplayLang=en Cheers Glen "pfxxx" <pfxxx@nemo.invalid> wrote in message news:45e45789$0$5067$ba4acef3@news.orange.fr... > there is a 32 bits version of E2007 for testing purpose > (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232170.aspx) > > where can I find it ?

The trial version http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/eval/exchange/default.mspx is the 32 bit RTM code but to call it RTM is not really correct as its not production code there wont be as far as I know a production release of 32 bit code for Exchange 2007 (the production version of Exchange 2007 is 64 bit only). My guess is that this code wont be supported in the future with service packs or hotfixes either because of the cost of maintaining and testing two code bases.
