EXCHANGE INFRASTRUCTURE AND PLANNING

Hi

In this article series, I will try to explain how we can move into an Exchange 2007 organisation from an Exchange 2003 organisation. I prefer to explain all the details and problems that I faced, instead of a regular presentation of installation. I faced lots of problems during the transition and I want to share all these problems and their solutions in this article series. First of all, I will explain  the existing Exchange 2003 infrastructure and then talk about the target Exchange 2007 infrastucture. I prefer not to use the redundancy technologies coming with Exchange 2007 to keep the transition simple. The old and the new organisations will be as simple as possible. During the planning and installation phases, Exchange Best Practise Analyzer (ExBPA) will be the biggest helping tool for us. We can see the problems in our existing Exchange infrastructure and also the problems of Active Directory with this little and handy tool. After solving the problems (if any), we will continue to build our new Exchange 2007 organisation step by step. more
