MORE INFORMATION

From the Microsoft Exchange 5.5 CD Release Notes in the System Requirements Section:

Windows NT Server SP3 is required to install Microsoft Exchange Server. It is strongly recommended that you upgrade your Microsoft Exchange Server computer to Windows NT SP4 when it is available. Until that time, you should install the hot fixes that are available from

http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads/archive/NT4y2kpostSP3/default.asp

If you are using Microsoft Exchange Server in a clustering environment, these hot fixes are required. If you install Microsoft Outlook Web Access on your Microsoft Exchange Server computer, these hot fixes are strongly recommended.
