BES does require the Exch 2003 tools, BUT, part of upgrading to Exch 2010 requires you to remove them and run on MAPI/ CDO. This worked fine for my Exchange 2003 users. SO, YMMV. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E17E7F31-079A-43A9- BFF2-0A110307611E&displaylang=en -----Original Message----- From: Maglinger, Paul [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2010 8:40 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Exchange 2010 tools in a Exchange 2003 environment We're in the planning stages of going from Exchange 2003 to 2010. We're also wanting to upgrade our BES server to a system running Windows 2008. BES requires the Exchange Tools to be installed on the server. Exchange 2003 Tools will not install on Windows 2008. Will it work to install the Exchange 2010 Tools on the BES server but still be running Exchange 2003 for now? Paul
