MEMBER FEEDBACK TO THIS EXCHANGE 2007 TUTORIAL

I have an existing Exchange 2003 server and I'm trying to configure the hub transport service to work with an Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007 mixed-mode environment. I don't want to use the Edge Transport server. I didn't notice any information regarding this subject and I could use some advice.
—John-Michael R.

******************************************

When you bring an Exchange 2007 Hub Transport server into the organization, your Exchange 2003 servers will automatically use it.
