I dont agree something about the subject says. Probably you say it because you find some differences from Exchange 2003. For example, you may find creating mailbox task separated from ADUC, which actually can be performed by EMC or ESH in Exchange 2007. You may also find that some exchange related tabs not appears in ADUC like Exchange 2003. But these changes dont mean that Exchange 2007 not integrate with Active Directory. Per myself as a enterprise exchange administrator, I think its good for these changes which makes enterprise separating the Ex admin job from AD admin Job. Regards, Jason

I agree, the new release APPEARS to have seperated Exch Admin job from AD Admin but as an Exch Admin person, you still need to know a lot of AD as these two products still integrates VERY WELL.
