DO NOT USE ANY 2007 RELEASES(vista, x2k7, o2k7) OF MICROSOFT
I'm not shocked to see the features of X2K7 SP1. I knew X2k7 RTM is half-cooked. So is Vista RTM and Office 2007 RTM. None of them complete. I installed X2K7 in production network and huge mistake I did, it took me full 3 days to recover everything by re-installing exchange 2003 and restoring the database. The exchange documentation did not mention anything about X2K7 creating it's own administrative group or routing group. I was able to move the mailboxes from X2K3 to X2K7 but address book and other setting will not move and routing will not happen if I shutdown X2K3. MS will go down under if they continue to test people's patience by sending them BETA products as RTMs and SP1 & SP2 as feature packs which in fact makes the RTM real. I do not understand what's packed in the whopping 5.4GB installation source which 12MB maildaemon can not do. It's pity to see that the developers publicly claim "SP1 will fill in the feature holes that we just didn't have time to complete by RTM"
