Install Exchange 2007 - Is there a novice guide?

[southbeach]

I have not exactly learned the ins/out of exchange 2003 and I am faced with having to install exchange 2007. When I installed 2003, I felt that installing SP2 was very tough since everything I read seem to suggest to install something else prior to SP2; which in turn suggested something else and that, in turn, suggested something else ... get the picture?

After many hours of reading and eliminating what I needed (which turned out to be one of two things), I felt that I had spent too much energy to install what should be an "off the shelf application" - or as close to it as possible.

If you know of an easy to follow guide to install exchange 2007, I will love the link to it.

Thanks,

PRobably should be posting in the Exchange 2007 forum:

Basically though, download the SP1 and use it to run your installation. You don't need to install the original version and then upgrade to SP1...in fact, you shouldn't do that.

I'm Certifiable, not cert-ified.
It just means my answers are from experience, not a book.

I've never seen that with SP2 - just download it and install it.

Ex2007? Yes, post to that forum and also see the installation FAQ on msexchange.org
