How to install Microsoft Exchange 2007 server and verify if Exchange 2007 server is installed correctly

If you have being using Microsoft Exchange 2003 server all these time. Exchange 2007 server will be totally different. In terms of where its functions are place, where to create a user. And how to troubleshoot a issue. Different structure all together.
 
Below are the installation steps for Microsoft Exchange 2007 server. Before your Exchange 2007 server installation. Make sure that you have promoted your Microsoft server to a domain controller.
 
Preparations:-
  1. Make sure that you meet the minimum systems requirements for Microsoft Exchange 2007 server
  • Any Intel Xeon or Pentium 4 64-bit processor
  • Any AMD Opteron or Athalon 64-bit processor
  • 1GB of RAM plus 7MB per mailbox
  • 1.2 GB of available disk space on the drive on which you install Exchange
  • 200 MB of available disk space on the system drive
  • DVD-ROM Drive
  • SVGA or higher-resolution monitor
  • NTFS File System
      2. Your OS version need to be at least Windows 2003 server SP1 for your schema master and your GC (Global Catalog)
      3. Exchange 2007 does not support Exchange 5.5 (Meaning if you have Exchange 5.5, you will need to upgrade it)
      4. Unlike Exchange 2003 server, you do not need to prep your domain controller, you just need to raise your domain to be the AD or do a dcpromo
      5. Rights needed
  • Local Administrator on the server
  • Enterprise Administrator
  • Domain Administrator
  • Schema Administrator (only required for first install to extend the Schema)
      6. Take note of Microsoft biggest change is from 32bit to 64bit CPU requirements. You can still install into 32bit systems but Microsoft will not  
           guarantee that all its functions will work properly.
      7. Another change is that Microsoft Exchange 2007 server now has its own inbuild SMTP server. 
       
 After you have done all the domain and exchange 2007 server preparations. You can now proceed with the Microsoft Exchange 2007 server installation.

What is server virtualization and how will it help the company and ROI return in investment?

One of the most talked about IT term right now is server and hardware virtualization. What is this? This is a way to reduce your servers hardware maintenance cost, servers administrative time, increase redundancy protection for your servers, reduce your company's data center power consumption, reduce your data center's electrical consumption, increase your server(s) disaster recovery response time, increase your servers monitoring sensitivities, and much much more! 
 
Those are the benefits. But there are also disadvantages which I had also faced during my work with VMWare application and the VM servers. If the ESX server or servers which are the main servers holding the virtual servers (VMs) are down, then ALL the servers will be effected. Maintenance of the ESX servers will effect all servers in the ESX server being maintained and other VMs in other ESX servers as well. This is so because, the VMs in the ESX server being maintained will be moved to other ESX servers and thus will increase the load of the other Active ESX servers. And slowing down the other VMs' performances.
 
Microsoft DO NOT fully or upfront support Microsoft servers or applications running in other company's virtualization platform at the moment. This was related over by Microsoft premium support staffs themselve. As they are afraid that there might be compilcation involved.
 
Following is a good video on What is a server virtualization and how will the server virtualization going to help your company in terms of ROI
