Exchange

[Josh123]

Ok, so our company is planning on getting Microsoft Exchange. I work in the Help Desk so what is the first thing I should look into to get familiar with exchange?

Microsoft 70-284 and 70-285 😛

What exactly is that???

Dont take this the wrong way, but whats the Help Desk need to get 'familiar' with Exchange for ?

Normal every day email address changes are done in Active Directory users and computers, not on Exchange server itself

This is not true for Exchange 2007.

Exactly!! I was very disappointed to see that change! I was wondering if they will fit in Exchange setting back into Active Directory users and computers when they introduce Longhorn. It adds a lot of extra steps do deal with!

I thought the management console could be installed on XP?

I think it can be. My point was, you don't do a whole lot for Exchange in ADUC anymore.

Hire a mail admin who is familiar with mail server concepts, and has some experience with exchange 2k3 (or 2k7, but that's going to be rare). Make sure you are backing up...nothing quite like realizing your logs have filled up your hard drive and dismounted your mail store
