It is intended to guide a system administrator with at least a year of experience with Windows servers, Active Directory, and networking through the deployment of an enterprise messaging system based on Exchange Server 2003. It does not assume that you have any prior experience with Exchange or any other messaging server.
It also does not make any assumptions about the size of your organization. You might be the sole administrator for a small firm or a service technician working for a Value Added Reseller (VAR) or a member of an Exchange team in a large company. The challenges are the same, really. The only difference is the scale of the project and the resources you have at your disposal. Administrators in smaller firms often have to fend for themselves, which adds to the difficulty of dealing with Exchange issues if you're new to messaging. If you belong to an Exchange team, you can draw on the experience of your colleagues, but this book will help you get up to speed as quickly as possible so you can contribute your fair share and avoid making mistakes.
If you're flipping through these pages in a bookstore, or browsing the content online, you'll notice that this book takes a slightly different approach to learning Exchange than you might see in other references. In addition to the standard how-to guides and feature descriptions, you'll find detailed process analysis and discussions about underlying concepts and dependencies. That's because Exchange is rich with complex ties to other Windows services and a variety of network components. My hope is that you'll come to see Exchange as an organic part of an overall communications infrastructure rather than just an e-mail server in a rack.
The chapters are arranged to get you up and running quickly, then expose layers of detail as you progress. Each topic within a chapter contains information to help you design and configure a particular set of features, streamline your daily operations, diagnose problems, safeguard data, and evaluate third-party applications and tools. This information includes:
Protocols and processes used by Exchange, Active Directory, and the Windows operating system to fulfill critical messaging functions
Design specifications and constraints you'll need to observe when performing a task
Security practices that help you prevent system compromise
Precautions and prerequisites to assure reliable operations
Procedures that describe, step by step, how to perform each critical task and assess the results
Monitoring and management suggestions to help you assure ongoing system functionality
Troubleshooting hints to help guide you through isolating and correcting problems
The topics are structured so that you can choose to skip over low-level details, jump right to the step-by-step procedures, and then flip back if you have questions.
As you work through the book, I urge you to perform the procedures and tests in each topic. They're designed for use both in lab testing as well as for production deployment. Chapter One, for example, describes how to use virtual machines to build a lab with all the servers and clients you need to test the major features of Exchange.
The most important thing to do is to have fun. An e-mail administrator provides a vital service that nearly everyone appreciates, even if they complain to you on a regular basis. If you keep the e-mail servers stable, deliver features that help your users do their jobs efficiently, and avoid losing messages from (or to) bosses and clients, you'll be everybody's best friend. Good luck.
