Exchange Server Cookbook
Ask network administrators what their most critical computer
application is, and most will say "email" without a moment's
hesitation. If you run a network powered by Windows 2000 or
Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Exchange occupies much of
your time. According to Microsoft, 110 million Exchange
seats have been deployed,
but 60% of you are still running
Exchange 5.5. That's a problem, because the difference
between version 5.5 and the more efficient Exchange 2000 and
Exchange Server 2003 is profound.
Don't fret. Exchange Server Cookbook offers you a
comprehensive how-to guide to these newer versions of
Exchange. You'll find quick solutions for the most common
tasks you need to perform--everything from installation and
maintenance to configuration and optimization, with proven
recipes for the most useful tools and utilities. The book
also has solutions to some uncommon tasks (that you may not
know are possible) and advanced procedures that aren't part
of day-to-day operations. These include tasks for critical
situations, such as using a recovery storage group.
Our reliable desktop reference even shows you how to write
scripts for Exchange management and deployment tasks. That's
right. While not every Exchange job can be scripted, many
can, and we provide lots of working VBScript examples for
accomplishing particular goals. Whatever your particular
need, you'll find it quickly, because chapters in this
Cookbook are laid out by recipe, with cross references to
other pertinent solutions in the book. With this guide,
you'll learn:
The relationship between Exchange and Active Directory
When to use the GUI, the command line, or scripting
How to prepare forests, domains, and servers
How to use Group Policy to control Exchange
Diagnostic logging, measure performance, and administrative
privileges
Recipient management: user accounts, mailboxes, mail-enabled
groups
Mailbox and public folder database management
Message routing and transport functions
Security, backup, restore, and recovery operations
For every question you have about Exchange 2000 or Exchange
Server 2003, our Cookbook has the answer--one that you can
find and implement without a moment's hesitation.
