Hi I am installing forefront identity manager 2010 and it requires the exchange 2007 management console to be installed on the forefront identity mgr server. My server is 2008 R2 and ms documentation says that it is the correct os for installation. However I cannot find any documentation on how to install exchange 2007 management console on a windows 2008 R2 server. This server is obviously not the exchange server. The exchange machine is remote. would you please help?

First off you need Exchange 2007 Service Pack 3 to begin with. It's the only version of Exchange 2007 supported on Server 2008 R2. When it comes to installing prerequisites, start up Powershell and run: Import-Module ServerManager <ENTER> and then Add-WindowsFeature NET-Framework,Web-Metabase,Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console -restart <ENTER> After the server comes back up, just install the Exchange 2007 SP3 Manaement Tools.

Thanks I just download Exchange SP3 off Microsoft site and ran it. I was given an option to install the management console & it worked beautifully. Thank you.
