Exchange Server 2007 Roles and the Related Services
I had a great question in class today, "What services are installed and used for the CAS and the Hub roles?" So, having a few moments, I went ahead and installed each, individually to find the following:
Client Access Server
Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology Service - Started, Automatic Microsoft Exchange File Distribution - Started, Automatic Microsoft Exchange IMAP4 - Stopped, Manual Microsoft Exchange Monitoring - Stopped, Manual Microsoft Exchange POP3 - Stopped, Manual Microsoft Exchange Service Host - Started, AutomaticOf course, the CAS will also require installation of IIS and the related services and other pre-reqs.
Hub Transport
- Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology Service - Started, Automatic
- Microsoft Exchange Anti-spam Update - Started, Automatic
- Microsoft Exchange EdgeSync - Started, Automatic
- Microsoft Exchange Monitoring - Stopped, Manual
- Microsoft Exchange Transport - Started, Automatic
- Microsoft Exchange Transport Log Search - Started, Automatic
Just as with the CAS, there are also required pre-reqs for the Hub.
Mailbox
- Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology Service - Started, Automatic
- Microsoft Exchange Information Store - Started, Automatic
- Microsoft Exchange Mail Submission - Started, Automatic
- Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Assistants - Started, Automatic

- Microsoft Exchange Search Indexer - Started, Automatic
- Microsoft Exchange Service Host - Started, Automatic
- Microsoft Exchange System Attendent - Started, Automatic
- Microsoft Exchange Transport Log Search - Started, Automatic

Just as with the other roles, there are also required pre-reqs for the Mailbox role.
