If you try to install the Exchange System Manager for Exchange Server 2003 on Vista, the installation fails and you get the error:<\/p>\n<p><em>The &#8220;Internet Information Services Snap-In&#8221; component of the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is either not installed or disabled.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Microsoft suggests that as a workaround you use Remote Desktop to manage Exchange Server 2003 from Windows Vista. If for some reason the Remote Desktop option is not a viable solution for you and you are looking for another option, here&#8217;s a workaround that you might want to try.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>1. Install adminpack.msi from Windows Server 2003 on Windows Vista so you will have the Active Directory Users and Computers console.<br \/>\n2. Copy the following files from Exchsrvr\\Bin folder on your Exchange Server 2003 to Windows Vista&#8217;s System32 folder:<br \/>\n    address.dll<br \/>\n    escprint.dll<br \/>\n    exchmem.dll<br \/>\n    glblname.dll<br \/>\n    maildsmx.dll<br \/>\n    pttrace.dll<br \/>\n    netui0.dll<br \/>\n    netui1.dll<br \/>\n    netui2.dll<br \/>\n3. Register the maildsmx.dll by typing the following command at the command prompt:<br \/>\n<em>regsvr32 c:\\windows\\system32\\maildsmx.dll<\/em><br \/>\n4. Just be aware that the Move Mailbox feature may not work so you can use Remote Desktop for that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You should now see the Exchange tab in your Active Directory Users and Computers on your Windows Vista computer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you may know, Microsoft doesn&#8217;t support Exchange Management Console for Exchange Server 2007 or the Exchange System Manager for Exchange 2003 on a Windows Vista-based computer as explained in the KB article 931903 &#8220;You cannot install the Exchange Management Console or the Exchange System Manager on a Windows Vista-based computer&#8221;.
