Exchange Microsoft Exchange 2000 Infrastructure Design Microsoft Exchange 2000 Infrastructure Design Part 1 Training available online e-learning

This course will cover Active Directory design considerations network design for Exchange 2000 and designing a backup and security strategy for the Exchange 2000 server. The focus of the course is showing the learner how to analyze company's organizational requirements. It is important to understand the design decisions in Active Directory that are specific to Exchange server. These decisions are based on an analysis of the organization's business structure and operations. This course deals with assessing your users' needs and your network needs. The network topology has an effect on your Exchange 2000 design. The network needs to be examined to ensure that it meets the requirements for Exchange 2000. Exchange 2000 Servers implements routing of groups rather than sites. Because the new topologies supported by Active Directory include hub-and-spoke mesh and serial link network planners will have to consider how best to design the upgraded network. This course also covers designing a backup and restore strategy for your Exchange 2000 system. A well-designed strategy can help you recover from various types of data losses with minimal downtime for your mail system. The design of a suitable security system for the Exchange 2000 organization will also be covered.
