In a test lab so I can configure and test FIM GAL Sync, I want to install and Exchange 2003 server using a 2008 DC, my problem is NNTP, exchange 2003 wants it but 2008 DC uses IIS 6 and it does not have NNTP, so I cannot install Exchange 2003 (Server 2003) is there a solution to this situation? Or shoud I just use 2003 DC and run exchange on it? David Oliver Sr. System/Network Administrator Superior Court of Pima County

That is what I have, the domain controller is 2008 and the Exchagne server is 2003 with Exchange 2003 My problem is NNTP, nothing to do with the Windows Server 2003 David Oliver Sr. System/Network Administrator Superior Court of Pima County

To be frank - but what does does that have to do with IIS 6 and the fact that I cannot trun on the NNTP service? am not understanding this part. Is Everything functioning properly ? or what is the exact problem ur facing now ?Satheshwaran Manoharan | Exchange 2003/2007/2010 | Blog:http://www.careexchange.in | Please mark it as an answer if it really helps you

When I try to install Exchange 2003 it stops with the fact that NNTP must be running or installed to install Exchange 2003. that is the point at which I fail. But I have reached the end of the line. Since I am going to be showing that FIM Gal Sync works I will not waste any more time on Exchange 2003. I will use Windoes 2008 R2 and Exchange 2010.David Oliver Sr. System/Network Administrator Superior Court of Pima County
