We have exchange organization which has several sites all over the world.
Each site has exchange server of their own mostly. So far two sites which
started this transition are using Windows 2003 64 bit OS with exchange 2007
SP1. In my site in Houston, I wanted to see if we can use windows 2008 64 bit
version with Exchange 2007 SP1. Reason being, I wanted to take the advantage
of CCR over WAN for our disaster Recovery site in Austin.

My quesiton is do you see any problem if we use windows 2008 OS when other
sites are using windows 2003?

No problem I can think of.

I thought in a CCR setup the OS versions had to be the same?

Skip,

You are correct, the Target Server must be the same OS as the Source so this
will not work unless you upgrade the Source Server to 2008. Had not gotten
my Starbucks fix yet so brain was little hazy.
