Hello Mike,
Thanks for the reply. When I went to install ESM on the Domain Controller, it
popped up something telling me I needed to have some IIS components installed
before I could install the ESM. Maybe I'm going insane faster than I thought,
heh.
This is with Windows 2003 AD in native mode. That's very interesting that your
experiences with ESM on a DC did not require IIS. Can you or anyone else
confirm this?
I would love to remove all IIS components from my AD box, but was afraid it
would break ESM or fudge Exchange components in AD.
Thanks!
PD

You need to run the SP update on any machine that has ESM loaded. Something
curious in your message. You mentioned that you had to load IIS on the DC in
order to do exchange tasks. The only thing you need to have loaded to
administrator Exchange options for AD users is the AD Users & Computers along
w/ the ESM. IIS isn't required.

Hello,
Question:
Should we load/upgrade to Exchange SP1 for our Domain Controller running
only ESM, not Exchange?
More Details:
We have our Exchange server and our Domain Controllers separate. We have
recently applied SP1 on our Exchange 2003 with Windows 2003 Server. All
seems fine so far in our small environment. During the install we
noticed the 'upgrade' portion for ESM.
We had previously loaded the Exchange System Manager (ESM) on our 2003
Domain Controller (Native Mode) so we could get the extra Exchange Tabs
and Tasks. (There should be a way to manage Exchange tasks through
Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) without having to load IIS
on your Domain Controllers,...to keep things cleaner/safer. If there is
please let me know.) And I don't just mean the 'View:Advanced Features'
to show the one Exchange tab.
I don't like loading things unnecessarily on the Domain Controllers,
so, is it safe (best practice) to apply Exchange 2003 SP1 to a Domain
Controller to update the ESM? Or is it not necessary?
Thanks!
PD
