Install Exchange tools onto XP from SBS2003 CDs "Adrian Marsh (NNTP)" <adrian.marsh[ at ]_removeme_ubiquisys.com> 02.07.2007 17:28:10 Hi All, A while back I posted about how to install the exchange 2003 admin tools onto a Vista machine, which is apparently not possible. Now I've reverted back to XP, I'd like to install them. I've put CD2 in my PC, but the only setup app (setup/i386/setup.exe) wants a product key, which on my SBS 2003 the only one I have is the SBS key, which setup.exe won't accept. Have I got the wrong installer? A.

Re: Install Exchange tools onto XP from SBS2003 CDs "Dave Nickason [SBS MVP]" <gwdibble[ at ]NOSPAM.frontiernet.net> 02.07.2007 18:50:18 It's been at least a hundred years since I installed the Exchange tools. It won't let you bypass the product ID if you just choose Custom Install, selecting just the admin tools and nothing else? There's some other stuff you need as well - if I remember right, it's just IIS and the WS03 admin tools.

Re: Install Exchange tools onto XP from SBS2003 CDs Cris Hanna [SBS-MVP] 02.07.2007 20:16:07 I don't think you can install the Exchange tools from the SBS cd's period...even if you put the product key in...will probably tell you that you can only install this on an SBS server. I believe you have to have the retail media to do it -- Cris E. Hanna [SBS-MVP] ----------------------------- Please do not contact me directly by email.

Re: Install Exchange tools onto XP from SBS2003 CDs "Claus" <cjobes[ at ]nova-tech.org> 02.07.2007 22:18:02 Chris is right. You can't use the SBS CDs. It is not part of the SBS license to install the Exchange tools on another computer. I looked into that when trying to install a BES server on a separate box and talked to MS management on it. The only way you can get those tools onto another box is from an Exchange CD and it will ask you for the key. But it does not need to get activated. -- Claus "Cris Hanna [SBS-MVP]" <crisnospamhanna[ at ]computingnospampossibilities.net> wrote in message news:3C81C8A1-EFC7-4A03-A6AC-BF5CF935AED0[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Install Exchange tools onto XP from SBS2003 CDs "Adrian Marsh (NNTP)" <adrian.marsh[ at ]_removeme_ubiquisys.com> 03.07.2007 18:12:47 Hmmm.. nope it worked fine in the end. I used CD2, and remembered that I had a key capture tool running at logon. I tried the key from that (different to the SBS one I had), and the Exchange setup wizard accepted it. (similar to Keyfinder). Then the next screen was about choosing how you want to install exchange, to which I ignored the option about connectors etc and just went for the management tools. Only pre-requsite was to have IIS installed, it did everything else from there on.. Didn't even need to reboot ! thanks anyway Adrian Claus wrote: [Quoted Text] > Chris is right.
