Editorials
From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewTo write Special Edition Using Microsoft Exchange Server 2000, Kent Yoshi has assembled consultants from three leading network integrators -- Lucent, Compaq, and Software Spectrum. If you're looking for an independent, best-practices guide to deploying and managing Microsoft's most powerful enterprise messaging platform, you've just found it.
The authors cover every aspect of Exchange 2000 planning and installation: architecture, security, network performance, Windows 2000/Active Directory integration, routing groups, naming strategies, and more. There are detailed chapters on migrating to Exchange 2000 -- from older versions of Exchange, from SMTP and X.400, from MS Mail, cc:Mail, and Groupwise.
You'll find detailed coverage of setting up connectors to Active Directory, SMTP, and Microsoft Mail. There's also a full section on day-to-day administration, including monitoring, tuning, and disaster recovery.
Next, it's on to the client side, where you'll discover how to make the most of Outlook 2000 in an Exchange environment -- including how to use Microsoft's Digital Dashboards to simplify access to knowledge throughout the enterprise, and how to use Outlook Forms to streamline processes like expense reporting.
