Exchange 5.5 reached it's end of life 2005, so it's going to be tough to find it.
I'll have a look in my cd-collection tonight, but I doubt it...

I would have had to read the license first, but as Microsoft is giving away these 120 day trials en masse at their seminars I doubt there would have been any problems.
But as I'm having a real licensed version lying around I haven't kept the trial as I don't have any use for it. And if I would give you that one I would certainly be burned at the stake.

He cannot do that. Microsoft would burn him alive at the stake for doing so. It may be discontinued and unsupported, but it's still Microsoft's property.

But it is a trail (as I mention in the last post I need the trail software) and I need to fullfile my study on 70-284 only. It is not commercial. As far as I remember exchange 5.5 might have a place to download the trail also as well as exchange 2007 which could be seen on Microsoft website.

Jorgen does not control the distribution rights to the product. He can still get sued for distributing the trial version, if he had it.

The test you mention covers Exchange 2003, not 5.5. So, the 5.5 trial won't do you any good (Yes, they are THAT different.)

Microsoft pulled all the downloadable trials for Exchange 2003 about a year ago. The only place you can get the trial now is from the Microsoft Press book "Implementing and Managing Microsoft Exchange Server 2003", found here[^]. Oddly enough, this is the book that covers the 70-284 test.

Well the reason that I need exchange 5.5 is not because i have an exam on it. You can check with the table content of this book 70-284[^] then you will see the chapter that is related to exchange 5.5. I already own this book and i really surprise that not only exchange 2003 and windows 2003 is the requirement software. I still need to have windows 2000 and exchange 2000. It is really lucky that I have download its trail software in the past. Also the hardware requirement its require me 4 machine (one is optional). I really do not know this requirement if i didn't purchase the book first.

Microsoft should know that people that studying their technology because they interested, support and some are require to use it. I will comment it in amazon about this point. Microsoft should pack all of software require in order to fullfill this study material. I have my own study plan but when I found that I missed some software for my future study i really difficult to adjust what I am going to do next.

Thank

You might try one of their online virtual labs and see if it will provide you with what you need. Usually you get a virtual machine with the software installed to experiment with. This one is for migrating from Exchange 5.5, so I don't know if it will give you a VM with 5.5, but might be worth a look:

Thank you very much for your help. I also try to find the link that I could download it in this VM but it is not available Frown | :(

I wouldn't worry to much about a trial version. It's meant to be spread.
But it doesn't matter very much as I don't have it anymore.

You still don't control the distribution rights to the software, no matter what Microsoft's intentions for it may be.

Citrix Presenation Server on WIN2003SERVER

Hi

Can I use Citrix Presentation Server on WINSERVER2003 (configured as only an Application Server)?

I have previously set up my WINSERVER2003 as an Terminal Server and an Application Server. Citrix worked fine, so it propably is the <> Terminal Server configuration that is causing the problem.

Thanking you in advance

What Problem are you having? Is this your only citrix Server? you will need a MS Server to be setup as your Terminal Server Licensing Server and on the MS server that you will install Citrix on, you will need to enable Terminal Server Services.

Open SSL Equivalent?

Hi all,

Are there any windows commands that are equivalent to the openssl s_client command? Specifically I'm looking for one with a -showcert switch, e.g.

:>openssl s_client -connect somedomain.com:443 -showcerts

The environment that needs to use this command is Windows Server 2003. It's a production server and our security policy disallows us from installing any openssl lib's (which I feel is a little overkill but can do nothing about).

Any help appreciated.
