Introduction
This three-day, instructor-led course provides students with the
knowledge and skills necessary to design a Microsoft Exchange 2000
organization for an enterprise environment. It is designed to complement
Course 1572, Implementing and Managing Microsoft Exchange 2000. This
course does not discuss the migration or upgrade processes needed to
implement a design. It focuses on designing an environment that is based
on the business needs of an organization that requires multiple routing
and administrative groups.
Audience
This course is intended for system architects and consultants who are
responsible for developing an Exchange 2000 design that is based on the
business needs of an organization. Students for this course typically
work in medium to large computing environments that have multiple
physical locations, mixed client connection protocols, and Internet
messaging connectivity.
The audience includes the following:
-
Senior IT Professionals: These individuals have one or more
years of messaging and networking experience, and are ready to go on
to an architect role.
-
Messaging Architects: These individuals are responsible for the
design and creation of messaging strategies.
