MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / March 2008Free version of Exchange Server?
I would like to be able to practice sharing in Outlook 2003, but cannot afford to buy Exchange server for my home use. I am upgrading skills with Outlook and Office 2007 at home, for re-entry into job market after ten years' absence. Is there an old or beta version of Exchange available? >I would like to be able to practice sharing in Outlook 2003, but >cannot [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > years' absence.

Then visit Microsoft's VHD catalog site (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/bb738372.aspx) and get a trial copy of Exchange to run inside a virtual machine. > >I would like to be able to practice sharing in Outlook 2003, but > >cannot [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Thanks for the quick suggestion. I have gotten Virtual PC, and all three versions of Exchange (didn't know if they were 3 essential components, or 3 versions of the whole program), plus a program that runs .rar files, but I can't get beyond the Virtual PC console. I want to install an operating system through my network, but the instructions I found seem incomplete. Is there a tutorial with step-by-step instructions for dummies? >> >I would like to be able to practice sharing in Outlook 2003, but >> >cannot [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >> but the instructions I found seem incomplete.

You download and save the .vhd file in whatever path you want. When you define a new guest VM in VPC, you point at where you saved the .vhd file. When you download the files from the VHD catalog site, you don't need anything to extract from the .rar files. The .exe file that you downloaded should read from those files to extract from them. I only saw ONE version of Exchange offered at the VHD Catalog site: 2007. Virtual PC has their own newsgroup at microsoft.public.virtualpc.
