Features: Exchange Server 2003 is a complex product, but its interface is very user-friendly and easy to manage. All this complexity, as well as the corresponding ease of use, requires a mainstream computer with current powerful processing capabilities. The server computer configuration established here is only suitable for testing, learning, and evaluating the product. This configuration is also applicable to small, less critical systems. However, as discussed in this book, when these servers are used in very important production environments with a large number of users accessing them, better hardware and increased fault tolerance are needed. On the client side, since the Exchange system can accept a wide range of client programs, most desktop systems in enterprise organizations should meet the requirements. This book combines the author's rich practical experience with the Exchange Server 2003 messaging and collaboration server product, using clear and easy-to-understand language to guide readers step by step through the basic concepts of Exchange system planning, design, installation, deployment, management, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. With this solid foundation, along with clear, specific step-by-step instructions and realistic examples, readers can easily master how to perform various tasks related to email and other messaging processing in their own systems. This book is suitable for network administrators of enterprise systems, IT technical support personnel, and other individuals who wish to learn the principles and applications of the new Microsoft Exchange system.
