Exchange Server 2003 does not run on 64-bit editions of Windows Server 2003.  Exchange Server 2003 management tools for remote administration can be installed on a computer running supported versions of Windows such as Windows Server 2003, or Windows Server 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4).  Exchange Server 2003 management tools cannot be installed on a computer running Windows Vista.

Before you install the Exchange System Management Tools, you must complete the following steps, which are necessary to set up a management station:

  1. Install Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP 1 or later on the workstation.
  2. Join the workstation to the domain with Exchange 2003.
  3. Install the Windows Administrative Tools Pack on the workstation.
  4. Install the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol service (SMTPSVC) on the workstation.

  1. On the dedicated management workstation, insert the Exchange 2003 Setup CD into the workstation's CD drive, and then locate <drive>: \setup\i386\setup.exe.

  2. On the Component Selection page, do the following:

    • Under Component Name, locate Microsoft Exchange. In the corresponding Action column, select Custom.
    • Under Component Name, locate Microsoft Exchange System Management Tools. In the corresponding Action column, select Install (see figure below).

Installation requirements for Exchange 2003

While the installation of SMTP is needed for this installation of system management tools. The requirement states that IIS is required. By selecting Internet Information Services from the add/remove windows components wizard, SMTP is automatically included with the IIS installation. Step 4 should read -

Under Before you begin 4. Install IIS version 6.0 or higher on the workstation.

I just followed these instructions, including the suggestion to install IIS instead of SMTP in and it worked.

The instructions 1, 2 and 3 under Procedure are repeated and only need to be done once.
