The local computer is not running Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 or later

Topic Last Modified: 2006-06-05

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 setup cannot continue because the local computer is not running Microsoft Windows Server™ 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or a later version.

Exchange 2007 setup requires that the computer that is used for Microsoft Exchange be running Windows Server 2003 SP1 or a later version.

To resolve this issue:

Run Exchange 2007 setup from a computer that is running Windows Server 2003 SP1 or a later version.
Upgrade the computer that you want to run Exchange 2007 setup from to Windows Server 2003 SP1 or a later version.
