Hi,

Microsoft has provided a Virtual machine image of Exchange Server 2007 on
MSDN. If MS Virtual Server does not support 64bit Clients, and Exchange 2007
comes in only 64bit version, then how can I use this VM?

Thanks.

There's a 32-bit version of Exchange Server 2007 for x86 computers. It's not
supported in production - meant for testing/training use.

Got it. Thak you :-)
Do you know if there is any difference at all in functionality between the
two versions? I am thinking more towards training and testing than anything
else.

Thanks.

For most part - no. You won't be able to get anti-spam updates on the 32-bit
version, it "expires" after 180 days (iirc) after which you get nagged every
time you start the console but the product continues to function. You can
still test clustering (CCR/SCC) and SCR.

You can't enter a license key since it's not a "licensed" product or one
that's sold commercially - and again, not supported in production.
