1. Q: Does Exchange 2000 support single mailbox recovery?

A: Exchange 2000 does not support a single mailbox recovery using Microsoft tools and products. You can find several Third-party backup programs that support a single mailbox recovery, but the Ntbackup.exe tool does not perform this function. Exchange 2000 does provide a mailbox reservation feature that allows the deleted mailbox to be retained for a period of time before the mailbox area is permanently deleted.

2. Q: What versions does Exchange 2000 include?

A: The Exchange 2000 product family is made up of "Exchange Server" (normal server Edition), Exchange Enterprise Server (Enterprise Edition), and Exchange 2000 Conferencing Server (Conference edition) consists of three servers products.

3. Q: Where are the several versions of Exchange 2000 used separately?

A: There are three versions of Exchange 2000, each of which has a distinctive feature that meets the needs of different users. The main features of these three versions are described below:

(1) Exchange server: It is a generic server edition that is intended for midsize companies or divisions, providing the message and collaboration features and capabilities they need. It is built on Web storage, including a transactional data store; Intelligent SMTP routing with fault tolerance, better performance, new Outlook Web Access clients that allow faster access from a Web browser, instant messaging processing, and services for building workflow solutions that automate business processes.

(2) Exchange Enterprise server: A high-performance, comprehensive server designed for internal applications in large enterprises that can be used to build the preferred server for a reliable, scalable messaging and collaboration architecture. Exchange Enterprise not only contains many of the features that Exchange Server has, but it also includes an unlimited, transactional data store (which can be segmented into different physical databases for increased reliability), And a four-way active/active cluster that provides higher availability.

(3) Exchange conferencing Server: It is focused on meeting contacts, allowing knowledge workers to organize, manage, and participate in data, sound, and video conferencing through the intranet and the Internet. Conferencing Server includes NetMeeting clients, which makes it easier for knowledge workers to complete one-to-one (point-to-point) meetings and multiparty (multiparty) meetings. A key differentiator compared to the other two servers is that the server provides tools to make it easy to schedule and allocate company meeting resources. It supports load balancing, failure taking over and controlling the people attending the meeting. In addition, by allocating bandwidth to each conferencing technology provider, Conferencing Server allows customers to run any combination of conferencing services at the same time.



4. Q: Can my Exchange Server 5.5 be installed under Windows 2000?

A: Microsoft recommends that you use Exchange Server because it is the first server application under Windows 2000, which is a perfect combination! But it's OK to use Exchange Server 5.5, but make sure it's on the Exchange 5.5 SP3 or later!

5. Q: I think the Exchange Server 5.5 administration This management tool is very easy to use, can it be used under Windows 2000?

A: That's totally OK! It works well on a variety of versions of Windows Professional and Windows Server.

6. Q: Do I have to upgrade my server to a domain controller before I install Exchange 2000?

A: No, it's not necessary! Only if you want to install the Exchange 2000 target server is a Windows 2000 domain on the line! Of course, if you deploy Exchange 2000 in a small branch office (SBO) or Medium branch Office (MBO) with only one server (such as a domain controller), you must upgrade it to a domain first, otherwise you typically do not need to install Exchange 2000 on a domain controller.

7. Q: How many recipients can SMTP support?

A: The maximum number of recipients by default is 5000. When you send a message from one server to 5,000 users on another server, you must expect the message to be sent only once on the line. The Windows Master SMTP server allows administrators to specify the maximum number of recipients per message. Reducing this number can prevent someone from sending spam messages to multiple users at once. The SMTP standard requires that messages with more than 100 recipients be split into multiple messages. It is important to note that the SMTP standard stipulates that the server must be able to handle at least 100 recipients.

8. Q: Why do I need to install the SMTP service for Windows 2000 for Exchange 2000?

A: As the first server application under Windows 2000, Exchange 2000 is able to use the resources inherent in Windows 2000 as much as possible, using Windows without its own SMTP service This feature can be seen in the 2000 SMTP service and its user database and Windows 2000 pooling.

9. Q: In Exchange 2000, how do I use the Web to send and receive e-mail?

A: An Exchange 2000 installer has a component called Exchange Outlook Web Access (accessed in Outlook Web mode) that is equivalent to using a Web page to "simulate" The interface and functionality of Microsoft's e-mail client software Outlook. When the installation is successful, the client enters "http://address/exchange" in the browser to open the appropriate Web page to log in and send and receive messages (the address here can be the domain name or IP address of the Exchange 2000 Server.) Or you can use the "http://address/exchange/mailbox name" format directly to a certain mailbox, such as "http://edu.xxx.com/exchange/01" and so on.
