Microsoft® Exchange Server 2003 Deployment and Migration Deployment and Migration

Designed to meet the needs of Exchange users as they migrate their email systems from 5.5 and 2000 to Microsoft's "platform of the future," this book provides an in-depth examination of the tasks involved in planning, designing and deploying the product in the enterprise.

Microsoft® Exchange Server 2003 Deployment and Migration describes everything that you need to know about designing, planning, and implementing an Exchange 2003 environment. The book discusses the requisite infrastructure requirements of Windows 2000 and Windows 2003. Furthermore, this book covers, in detail, the tools and techniques that messaging system planners and administrators will require in order to establish a functioning interoperability environment between Exchange 2003 and previous versions of Exchange including Exchange 5.5 and Exchange 2000.

Additionally the book describes various deployment topologies and environments to cater for a multitude of different organizational requirements.
