VCS support for Exchange Server 2007 includes the following features:

• High availability for Mailbox Server role only

  High availability support for Exchange Server 2007 is available for the Mailbox Server role only. While installing Exchange, ensure that you do not install any other server role on the system on which you install the Mailbox Server role. If you have already installed the Mailbox Server role along with the other server roles on the same server, you will have to remove the other server roles before configuring Exchange in a VCS environment.

• Exchange Management Shell in the virtual server context

  The Exchange Management Shell provides a command-line interface that enables automation of administrative tasks for Exchange Server 2007. VCS provides a utility, the VCS Application Manager (VAM), that you can use to launch the Exchange Management Shell under the context of the virtual server name.

  On the SCC, under Tools, click VCS Application Manager to start VAM. Then double-click the Exchange resource to launch the Exchange Management Shell in the virtual server context.

  You must run the Exchange Management Shell under the virtual server context if you wish to administer a clustered Exchange Server 2007 using cmdlets. Ensure that the Exchange service group is online before using the Exchange Management Shell in the virtual server context.

  The Exchange Management Shell in the virtual server context is provided to run cmdlets for administering Exchange in a VCS cluster environment only. Do not run VCS executable files or commands in this shell.

  Refer to the Exchange Server 2007 documentation for more information on server roles, the Exchange Management Shell and cmdlets.
