Are you using EV 7.x? The MSMQ service should be on the same box as the EV server - EV at version 7.x is not supported on Windows 2008 (and doesn't work) - however the client Extensions do work? Can you give me a little more information - cheers A Hiya chap,

What are you trying to do? Are you using EV 7.x?

The MSMQ service should be on the same box as the EV server – EV at version 7.x is not supported on Windows 2008 (and doesn’t work) – however the client Extensions do work?

Can you give me a little more information – cheers

I do have one question, though: Is MSMQ supported on Windows 2008 geo-clustering? The details are: I've got two W2K8 nodes setup in a cluster, spread across 2 sites (with 2 different subnets). Because of this, the cluster is setup as a Majority Node Set with FSW (there are NO shared disks in this cluster... each node has access to it's own local SAN). The only thing on the cluster is an application (or "group", in W2K3 terminology). This fails over between nodes without problem. The issue arises when I try to add MSMQ to the cluster group (it's required by EV). MSMQ has 2 dependencies: hostname and DISK RESOURCE!! I'm stumped! I have no cluster disk resource to give to MSMQ! HELP!? (and thanks in advance) - Anthony Hi Andy,

We are facing a issue, I don't know if you have any suggetions, we have the exchange 2007 in a different forest and we have a two way trust. I read I can use a different service account for the new exchange server. But when I try setup the Exchange archive task wizard fails to select the system archive mail box. When we browse for mail box it gives error "No mail box found". EV server is in Domain A and new exchange in domain B. I can't add the ev service account from domain A as exchange admin in Domain B. We will appreciate if you have any suggetions. Symantec consultant says I have to add the service account from domain A as exchange admin in domain B. Thanks a lot for the article.

You made a task that I have been dreading for weeks SO simple! I followed this guide exactly and it worked perfectly. If you guys out there have a similar configuration, this is what you need. Follow it and you will be successful. I just got my Exchange 2007 SP1 Org setup this week and I was seriously dreading the EV integration because we had a lot of problems getting everything to work with Exchange 2003. I am so happy that this worked as easy as it did. It literally took me 15 minutes to get this done. Thanks you SO much, Roy! Greg Roy,

From my perspective - Symantec took a long time to released a version of EV that was FULLY compatible with Exchange 2007 and only reached compatibility for OWA 2007 in release 7.5 where they also finally released x64 Client extensions. For Symantec to now say (as I have read the compatibility guide) that they will not support Windows 2008 until the next major release is unacceptable IMHO – as it prevents people from adopting the latest technologies for their Exchange installations – people whom have EV 7.5 and wish to migrate to Exchange 2007 using Windows 2008 are stuffed (bearing in mind that Exchange 2007 has been out of a long time now and Windows 2008 has been available to SKU’s for ages for testing). I have been using the EV client extensions in production for a while now and they do function correctly – however Roy is correct to point out that it is unsupported – but I would urge people whom do not wish to take the risk to lobby Symantec over this issue. In order to adopt Exchange 2007 where I work I had to upgrade from EV 6 to 7 then 7.5 – the prospect of another upgrade just to use Exchange on Windows 2008 is disgusting Sorry Roy this was not aimed in any way shape or form at you, I am amazed that Symantec has this bizarre stance on support.
