Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Server administrators be warned; if you’re looking at Windows Server 2008 R2 you need to be aware Microsoft is not supporting Microsoft Exchange 2007 on this platform. Instead, you must upgrade to Exchange 2010.
This news was subtly disclosed on the Microsoft Exchange Team blog when discussing update rollup 9 for Exchange Server 2007 service pack 1.
Specifically, the Exchange Team note that one of the fixes in the update rollup is “Support for Windows Server 2008 R2 Domain Controllers in the environment” before adding the disclaimer “Note: Exchange Server 2007 itself is not supported to be installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 system.”
The blog permits reader comments and one reader, “Tony” asked “I have a Windows Server 2008 x64 server running Exchange Server 2007 x64. The Windows Server is also a Domain Controller. When Windows Server 2008 R2 comes out will I be able to upgrade the server to R2?”
The Exchange Team respond, “Exchange Server 2007 will not be supported to run on Windows Server 2008 R2. So for the system which is running Windows Server 2008 + Exchange Server 2007, you cannot upgrade it to Windows Server 2008 R2.
If you have a domain controller which does not run Exchange, you can upgrade it to Windows Server 2008 R2 since it is [a] supported scenario to run against Windows Server 2008 R2.”
This means companies who have been planning a migration to Windows Server 2008 R2 must proceed with caution. You must revise plans to recognise your Exchange Server 2007 system cannot have its operating system upgraded without simultaneously upgrading to Exchange Server 2010.
This also means that companies contemplating an Exchange Server 2007 rollout should consider their plans and determine whether this information affects their proposed roadmap.
Exchange Server 2010 is expected to be available later this year.
