Description:
Microsoft Exchange Server in a Nutshell documents version 5.5 of the BackOffice mail server. It's a complete guide to installing, using, maintaining, repairing, and upgrading this popular program. Administrators who already have some experience with getting work done under Exchange Server will home in on the excellent reference material that makes up most of this guide. For Unix experts, there's also a handy comparison of Sendmail and Exchange Server. The authors succinctly document every command line tool (including every switch and every parameter) and do the same for all the graphical tools. Most importantly, all of Exchange Server's directory objects are documented. He lists each object with its path, permissible contents, properties, and a quick explanatory description. Where appropriate, the author inserts stepped procedures that explain how to carry out particular tasks. He also has added notes that explain pitfalls and detail the interaction of Exchange Server with other messaging programs. --David Wall Topics covered: The historical progression of Microsoft mail servers, the Exchange Server architecture, the relationships between Exchange Server and its clients, and implementation of Exchange Server in X.400 and X.500 messaging environments.
