Implement xchange 2000/2003 without active directory?

[will2k]

Hi

Does anyone know if it is possible to implement exchange 2000/2003 without active directory. I want to set it up on a single box just so I can play about with configuration and see what it looks like and so on??

Any advice on how i might go about doing this would be appreciated

Cheers

Will

you need active directory.

for a test environment, there is no problem with having a single machine that is your AD server as well as your Exchange server.

Another option would be to get hold of an eval copy of Small business Server (SBS) - this includes everything, and is designed as a single box solution.

Hope this helps
