  • Article

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 will reach end of support on April 11, 2017. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2007 SP1, Exchange Server 2007 SP2, Exchange Server 2007 SP3

This topic provides a sample registry file that can be used as a starting point for creating the required registry file to enable debugging functionality as part of your build DVD. You can modify the following procedure to create the necessary registry file for your organization.

The following sample registry file may need to be modified in order to make them functional in your specific environment.

Sample .reg files

Important

This registry file sample illustrates how debugging functionality can be implemented in an automated fashion. You must test everything in a lab environment prior to attempting to use them in your production environment.

Before You Begin

To perform the following procedure, the account you use must be a member of the Local Administrators group.

For more information about permissions, delegating roles, and the rights that are required to administer Exchange 2007, see Permission Considerations.

Debug.reg
