Compatibility Exchange Server 2003 SP2 and Domain controllers Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi all, I have this scenario:
- Two Domain Controllers Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2
- Two mail servers Exchange Server 2003 with the following version:
  6.5 (Build 7638.2 Service Pack 2)
I want to upgrade my domain controllers to Windows Server 2008 R2.
My question is whether exchange Server 2003 6.5 (Build 7638.2 Service Pack 2) is supported with Domain Controllers Windows Server 2008 R2.
Can you tell me some official Microsoft website where this reflected?
regards

Exchange Server 2003 SP2 supports DCs running Windows Server 2008 R2. These DCs should be RWDCs and not RODCs:
Exchange 2003 SP2 will now be supported against writeable Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory Servers.  Additionally, with the General Availability of Exchange Server 2010, and those looking to standardize on Windows
Server 2008 R2 we have enhanced the supportability of forest and domain functional levels up to Windows Server 2008 R2.  This change is effective immediately on Exchange 2003 SP2.

  • We're running Windows server 2003 32bit and want to migrate to Windows server 2012R2 64bit, can someone provide a step by step procedure on how to migrate instances on ADAM to AD LDS?

    I have no experience in dealing with servers, but my senior has asked me to investigate on how to migrate instances on ADAM (windows server 2003 32bit) to AD LDS (Windows server 2012R2 64 bit) as in place upgrade is not an option as we're running a 32bit
    Server and want to migrate to a 64bit Server. can someone please give me a Walkthrough on how to do this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    it'd be of great help if you could give me a step by step process of replication.
    There is no step-by-step article/guide of replication process, replication between AD LDS instances of the same configuration set is an automatic process.
    All we need to make sure is to create a replica of the existing instance, and there is no network/security obstacle preventing the replication.
    Please note that we need to install AD LDS from Server manager on Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2.
    More information for you:

  • Can we install Exchange server 2003, 2007 and 2010 on Server 2012 R2 ?

    Sir, 
        I want to know whether Exchange server 2003, 2007 and 2010 can be installed on Server 2012 R2 or not.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can only install Exchange 2013 SP1 on Server 2012 R2
    As far as I know Exchange 2010 SP3 can't be installed on R2 . The other Exchange Servers are too old

  • Accessing to Windows Server 2003 SP2 R2 32-bit from a Windows XP SP3 32-bit leaves a fork of the explorer and its children processes !!!

    When I try to access to Windows Server 2003 SP2 R2 32-bit from a Windows XP SP3 32-bit and then closes the RDP from Windows XP (the client side), a fork of the explorer and its children processes will persist in the server side !!!
    Take a look at the screenshot to understand:
    is this normal behavior !?
    Thank you for your understanding ;)

    Hi,
    I think this is normal behavior.
    You just close the RDP from client side but not log off the server, right?
    Regards.
    Vivian Wang
    Yes, right I closed the RDP from client side, not log off the server.

    Is anyone successfully running Essbase 9.3.1 on Windows Server 2003 SP2 ?
    The documentation I have mentions only SP1, but we'd like to upgrade to SP2 providing no issues arise from doing so.
    thanks,

    There are no problems running on SP2.

  • Windows Server 2003 (sp2 - 32bit) - OEM problem

    I inherited this in-house (closed) system a few years ago and have not had a problem until a couple of months ago.  It has been running for about 1 1/2 years.
    Desc:   Oracle 11.1.0.6 (64bit) on Windows Server 2003 (sp2 - 32 bit)   [[ yes, I know, what the heck is a 64 bit Oracle running on a 32 bit windows?]]
         2 - instances running -  one production with associated ASM,  one RMAN cat with no ASM -  all folders are backed up to a large SANS.
              -  each instance has its own listener
              -  each instance has its own dbconsole service
    Problem:
    1.  a couple of months ago, when I attempted to access the production OEM, I started seeing
    service-specific error 1 (0x1), NET HELPMSG 3547 
         -- the first time this happened, I immediately opened the OEM for rman and it was successful
              It was also fortunate in that we were doing some power upgrades and all of our systems were shutdown - and after this system was powered on, the production OEM worked fine.
         -- a few weeks later, the prod OEM was not accessible - giving the same 3547 error.  We were not able to shut down, so I stopped the Windows services for this instance, and stopped
                   the windows listener services for both instances.  I then started only the production windows services, and was able to use the prod OEM.  Then I started the listener service for
                   the rman and all was well.
         -- this Monday (today is Thurs), the prod OEM was inaccessible again and I tried the stopping and restarting of the services and started seeing 7024 errors.  I tested the rman OEM and
              it was fine.  I stopped both instances via sqlplus commands, used emctl to stop both dbconsoles (of course, the prod one was already not running), shut down the ASM instance and
              then stopped all the Windows services.  then I only brought up the prod services and confirmed with sqlplus commands that everything was started - but the final service, dbconsole
              would not start.  This morning I was able to reboot the server (after shutting down all the Oracle services) and now I can access the prod and the rman OEMs.
    2.  What the heck?   Because I can get the prod OEM working with just a reboot, I don't know if I should have to rebuild dbconsole.   And since I'm the only one disuncombullated because
              of the prod OEM, it is not a fall-down-crying situation - I'm actually a sqlplus kinda guy, but when I'm just doing visual maintenance, it is nice to view OEM remotely for a quick check.
    3.  I've been working with Linux systems and Oracle for many years and I've never experienced this kind of problem.   Oh, and since it is a closed system, it will be when pigs sprout wings
                   and start flyng that I'll be allowed to install patches - but again, if a reboot 'fixes' this issue, what the heck?  Oh, finally, I don't believe in the common windows fix of rebooting - I'd
                   like to find out WHY this is happening and literally fix it.  
    ANYBODY have a clue?   Not me...
    Thanks for your time.

    You'd better double check that.  It is fundamentally impossible for 64-bit software to run on a 32-bit OS.
         2 - instances running -  one production with associated ASM,  one RMAN cat with no ASM -  all folders are backed up to a large SANS.
              -  each instance has its own listener
    One single listener, with the default name of LISTENER, using the default port of 1521, is quite capable of -- indeed, was designed to -- service multiple instances of multiple versions running from multiple homes.

  • Essbase 11.1.1.1.3 on Server 2003 SP2

    Hi,
    According to Oracle documentation they only support Hyperion Essbase, EAS, Shared Svcs etc... on Windows Server 2003 SP1. Does anyone know if there are issues with SP2 or if it works etc.. Or if the documentation I'm looking at is old and in fact SP2 is now supported?
    Thanks.....

    Hi There,
    My PC has Essbase 11.1.1.3 installed on Windows Server 2003 SP2 platform. I didn't see any problems.
    I think having higher SPs isn't a problem whereas having lower one would likely create issues, may be, right when you're installing the product!

  • Unable to login to Server 2003 using adminitrator domain account

    We were not able to login to a domain server with server 2003 using a Domain Admin account. We were able to log in using a Local Admin account. We tried dropping and re-adding the server to the domain, but still had the same issue. After logging in using
    the Local Admin account we created a new SID using sysinternals. This seemed to work, but the next day after a server reboot, we encountered that issue again. Any ideas why this is happening and why creating a new SID seems to fix the issue until a reboot?

    Try adding Domain Admins to local administrators group.

  • JDK issues with Windows Server 2003 SP2 Standard Edition

    Hi,
    We are running an ETL (Extracts-Transform-Load) Jar file which reads data from MS Commerce Server 2002, AS400 and SQL Server 2000 database and populates a SQL Server 2000 database. The jar was running fine on Windows Server 2000 but started to stall when we are running it from our newly acquired Windows Server 2003 SP2 server class machine. The JDK version is 1.4 on Windows 2000 and 1.6 on Windows Server 2003. Interestingly, the jar is running fine via JDK 1.6 on another Windows Server 2003 dev machine.
    The jar does not throw any error and we have to manually shutdown the execution of the jar.
    Can anyone please suggest some solutions here?
    Thank you!

    Um, does this have anything to do with JavaMail? If not, you might try a more appropriate forum.

  • How to install Windows updates for Windows server 2003 SP2 Manualy

    Hi All,
    We have 10 machines running Windows server 2003 SP2. These machines are ISA servers kept in DMZ.
    So these servers do not have internet access any any means. We are receiving Non compliance for not patching them for specific .NET framework patches. We have installed them but still the Scanning tools says it is not installed. 
    We have planned to check it through Windows update but as it is in DMZ there is no Internet connection and we also cannot push through WSUS server as well.
    Is there any way we can get the update package in Bulk so we can manually patch them rather than manually downloading them 1 by one and installing them ?
    Gautam.75801

    Hi Gautam,
    To achieve your goal, I suggest you set up a WSUS server on the disconnected network, then exporting updates and metadata from a
    WSUS server on a connected network and importing all that information into the WSUS server on the disconnected network.
    For more detailed steps, please refer to this article below:
