Q: I have Exchange Server 2007 installed on a 32-bit system, but I've been told that it can only be installed on a 64-bit system. What gives?
A: Exchange Server 2007 is only SUPPORTED on a 64-bit system for PRODUCTION use (meaning your real-live server). There is an evaluation edition that will install on a 32-bit platform, but is not supported or licensed for production use.
