Exchange Server 2007 Beta 2 System Requirements

Published: June 11, 2006

Note: Beta system requirements are subject to change.

ComponentMinimum Requirement

Processor

32-bit Trial:

Intel Pentium 800 (MHz) or higher processor

64-bit Trial

x64 architecture-based computer with:

Intel Xeon or Intel Pentium Family processor that supports Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel EM64T) or

AMD Opteron or AMD Athlon 64 processor that supports AMD64 platform

Intel Itanium IA64 processors are not supported

Operating system

32-bit version trial: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP1 or Windows Server 2003 R2, Standard or Enterprise Editions

64-bit version trial: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64 or Windows Server 2003 x64 R2 Standard or Enterprise Editions

For more information on the localized Exchange Server 2007 Beta 2 experience and operating system requirements please see: www.microsoft.com/exchange/OperatingSystemLang.

Memory

For Beta 2, 2 gigabytes (GBs) of RAM per server minimum. 2 gigabytes (GBs) of RAM per server + 5 megabytes (MBs) of RAM per user recommended.

  Note

The above minimum requirements and recommendations are based on our internal testing of Beta 2. These requirements and recommendations may change in the release to manufacturing version of Exchange 2007. The recommended memory configuration is suggested as a way to optimize performance for Exchange 2007. Specifically, it allows Exchange to use an appropriately sized database cache, which reduces database disk I/O. These recommendations are oriented towards authorized production environments that have many users with large, frequently used mailboxes.

Available hard-disk space

You need:

At least 1.2GB on the hard disk where you install Exchange Server 2007

Additional 500MB of available hard-disk space per language if installing language packs for Unified Messaging beyond those included in the default installation

Additional space is needed when using Local Continuous Replication or Cluster Continuous Replication (the amount of space required depends on the size of the storage groups being replicated)

200 MB on the system drive

Drive

DVD, local or network accessible

File format

Disk partitions must be formatted for the NTFS file system, not the file allocation table (FAT) file system. This requirement applies to:

System partition

Partition storing Exchange Server binaries

Partitions containing transaction log files

Partitions containing database files

Partitions containing other Exchange Server files

Prerequisite Software Required

Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0

Microsoft Management Console (MMC) 3.0

Windows PowerShell (for Exchange Management Shell)

Should these required prerequisites not be installed, the Exchange Server 2007 setup process will prompt and provide links to the installation location. Internet access will be required if the prerequisites are not already installed or available on a local network.

Additional software required to use specific features in Exchange Server 2007:

Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later and Windows Server 2003 for HTTP access from Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007

Note: You must install the latest updates for Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Outlook 2003.
