Student Materials
The student kit includes a comprehensive workbook and other necessary materials for this class.
Module 1: Installing and Upgrading to Exchange Server 2003 (Self-study)
A requirement of a messaging administrator may be to install
Exchange Server 2003 on newly acquired hardware. Because of this requirement, it is necessary for the administrator to know how to perform a clean installation of Exchange Server 2003. The administrator also needs to know how to install and use the tools that are needed to manage Exchange Server 2003.
Because of the complexity involved in upgrading to Exchange Server 2003 from previous versions of Exchange, the administrator may not perform any upgrade tasks. However, it is still beneficial for the administrator to understand the overall upgrade process.
Installing Exchange Server 2003 and the accompanying administrative tools is only the first step in getting a production server functioning correctly. To get a production server functioning correctly, the final two tasks to complete are covered in Module 2 and Module 3.
Lessons
§ Installing Exchange Server2003
§ Installing Exchange Server2003 in a Clustered Environment
§ Installing and Using ExchangeManagement Tools and Utilities
§ Upgrading from Exchange 2000
Server to Exchange Server 2003
After completing this module, students will be able to:
§ Install Exchange Server 2003.
§ Install Exchange Server 2003 in a clustered environment.
§ Install and use Exchange management tools.
§ Upgrade to Exchange Server 2003 from Exchange 2000.
Module 2: Configuring and Managing Exchange Server 2003
After an administrator installs Exchange Server 2003, he or she must configure the server to run in their messaging environment. Configuration tasks include setting up Exchange policies to simplify administration and configuring
Exchange server so that the administrator can proactively manage server performance. If the administrators use both Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange 2000 Server in their messaging environment, they must also effectively manage this mixed environment.
This module describes how to configure and manage a newly installed server running Exchange Server 2003 by using the tools that are in Exchange Server 2003 and in the Windows Server 2003 family.

After completing this module, students will be able to:
§ Create and apply Exchange policies to simplify administration.
§ Configure Exchange Server 2003 to proactively manage server performance.
§ Add and remove Exchange servers.
Module 3: Securing Exchange Server 2003
After installing and configuring Exchange Server 2003, the administrator will need to secure the Exchange Server. Securing the Exchange
Server is the final step of the three-step process of installing a new Exchange server in the actual environment. (Module 1 and 2 constitute the first two steps in this overall process.) Securing Exchange Server 2003 involves implementing antivirus strategies, implementing digital signatures and encryption features, and configuring firewalls, as well as setting administrative permissions.

Module 4: Managing Recipients (Self-study)
Exchange Server 2003 recipients include Exchange users, contacts, and groups. Because Exchange Server 2003 maintains its directory information in the
Microsoft Active Directory® directory service, an administrator manages Exchange recipients by using Active Directory Users and Computers. Additionally, an administrator can use scripting utilities to make bulk changes to the Exchange recipient information that is stored in Active Directory.

Module 5: Managing Public Folders (Self-study)
Public folders are an integral part of the Exchange Server 2003 messaging system. Public folders enable users in an Exchange organization to share information by using a variety of file formats. Managing public folders involves managing public folder data, as well as network access to public folders. An Exchange administrator's primary tool for managing public folders is Exchange System Manager.
Lessons
§ Managing Public Folder Data
§ Managing Network Access toPublic Folders
§ Publishing An Outlook 2003
Form
After completing this module, students will be able to:

Office Outlook® 11 form.
Module 6: Managing Address Lists
Users who use Exchange Server as their e-mail server typically search for other e-mail users in their company by using the global address list (GAL), which includes all the e-mail messaging recipients, including contacts with external addresses and distribution groups, in the Exchange organization.
Administrators use Exchange System Manager in Exchange Server 2003 to simplify management of address lists. Administrators also use Exchange System Manager to create custom address lists that meet users' specific needs and that help them find e-mail addresses faster.
