Pre-Installation Checklist Make sure you have all of the following steps in place before you setup Exchange Server 2007 on Windows Server 2008 64 Bit. For simplicity we are assuming you are setting up a small office where one machine will be used for both the Active Directory and the Exchange Server. This setup works just fine and reduces the number of machines to maintain. If you have a larger office you may want to consider separating the Active Directory machine and the Exchange 2007 Server.
Install Windows Server 2008 64 bit version Exchange 2007 is a 64 bit application and requires 64 bit versions of Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008. You should select a computer that is capable of running the 64 bit version of Windows Server 2003 or 2008. For this example we will start with a clean installation of Windows Server 2008 64 bit version that has not had any roles installed. After installing Windows Server 2008 we set the clock and the name of the server to be "EX2007". At this point this server is configured to be a stand alone computer with default settings.
