Thanks for this Chris.

I did find that article but i noticed it is from 2014 and more recent articles say 2007 is no longer supported as it is EOL and not hybrid compatible. The only solution I can think of is to essentially carry out an Exchange 2007 - Exchange 2013 migration but this would involve me buying an Exchange 2013 licence.

  assuming you don't host any mailboxes you should be able to fire up a newer hybrid version and join it into your domain, there shouldn't be a "migration" if you have it there just for configuration :).
