release of exchange Server 2013 Now the 8 major release of the Microsoft Exchange server in the over
th
15 year history of the product the Microsoft has made significant improvements in the areas of global
scalability, mobile and tablet client support security compliance reliability unified communications and
integration with SharePoint 2013 and Microsoft Lync 2013. For those exchange export who are already
very familiar with the product, the basics of the Exchange server with a centralized exchange server
holding mail messages, contact address book, calendar appointments and other user information the
exchange environment provide a server based storage of information. Users throughout the organization
contact to the exchange server from Microsoft Outlook from a web browser from a mobile phone or tablet
system or from a variety of other client systems to get access to their email and other information.
In larger Organization multiple Exchange server can be added to the environment hosting mailbox
information of the users. The Microsoft has split the roles of servers in an Exchange environment has split
roles of servers in an exchange environment where some servers are dedicated for antivirus and
antispam filtering and other servers are dedicated to client system connections throughout the
organization.
Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 released came out in 1998 which until just a few years ago some
organizations were still running in their networking environment because of its reliability and stability as
an email system. With exchange server 5.5 Microsoft worked out the bugs and quirks of their first two
revisions of the exchange product and significantly better integration occurred between Email, Contacts,
calendar and task than in previous releases of exchange. The Microsoft also expanded the support for a
th
larger exchange database used to store message. So instead of being limited to 16 GB of mail with
earlier release of exchange organizations could upgrade to the enterprise edition of exchange server 5.5
that provided more than 16GB of data storage. With larger storage capabilities exchange server 5.5
greatly supported large corporate, government and organizational messaging environments
Along with Exchange server 5.5 Outlook web Access was improved to provide a faster and easier to use
web client of site connectors was expanded with exchange server 5.5 to provide a larger enterprise
exchange environment with distribution of administration message routing and Multi language support
2003 became more than an office based messaging system it also greatly enhanced an organization
ability to provide remote and mobile users with email anytime and anywhere
A Exchange Server 2003 running on top of windows Server 2003 took advantage of additional OS
enhancements making exchange server 2003 an even more reliable and manageable messaging system.
Windows Server 2003 clustering finally worked so that organizations that put exchange server 2003 on
top of the Windows Server 2003 were able to do active- active and active passive clustering. In addition
clustering went from two node clusters to four node clusters providing even more redundancy and
recoverability. The exchange server 2003 also introduced the concept of a recovery storage group RSG
that allowed an organization to mount an exchange database for test and recovery purposes. Prior to
exchange server 2003 an exchange database could only be mounted on an exchange server typically
with the exact same server name and for the sole purpose of making the database accessible to users.
The recovery storage group in exchange server 2003 allowed an exchange database from another
exchange server to be mounted in an offline manner so that the exchange administrator can extract
corrupt or lost messages or possibly even have database in a ready mode to allow for faster recovery of a
failed exchange server
Note : the last supported direct transition path from Microsoft from exchange server 2003 was with
exchange server 2010 product in which a connector and transition tools enabled integration of exchange
server 2003 and 2007 environments to coexist. The exchange server 2013 does not support exchange
server 2003 at all and if an organization still has exchange server 2003 servers, it must either transition
first to exchange server 2010 or export its mail out of exchange server 2003 before beginning the process
of implementing exchange server 2013.
even messages between users with mailboxes on the same exchange server OWA in exchange server
2007 was also dramatically improved being more than 90 % feature complete with the full 32 bit version
of outlook. Web users have full control over mailbox rules and out of office rules, access to digitally rights
managed content and both provision and deprovision of their windows Mobile devices within the Outlook
Web Access interface.
phone full management and the like. Many organization only provide outlook through OWA when offline
folders are not required, eliminating the need to deploy and support client software. Behind the scenes to
exchange server 2010 were also significant improvement in reliability such as the inclusion of a worker
thread that defragmented the exchange database as well as the ability for exchange writes to be
sequential to the exchange database instead of random writes to disk that drastically improved overall
performance for exchange. With sequential reads of defragmented disk, exchange server 2010 performed
40% more efficiently for organizations which allowed for greater density of users per exchange server and
virtually eliminated the concept of database maintenance that was a crux of exchange in the first decade
of its existence. And by the year 2010 the use of mobile phones and tablet devices became common
endpoint platforms with users desiring assess from more than just a desktop or web platforms with users
desiring access from more than just a desktop or web console. As such exchange server 2010 provided
full connectivity to exchange from multiple endpoint platforms as well as voice prompt enabled exchange
so that a user could call into exchange and navigate her mailbox access calendar appointments, listen to
messages that are text to speech converted for audio listening and even have voice mail messages
converted from voice for text based viewing of voice messages. The exchange server 2010 integrated the
world of voice mail, email and client desktop access and mobile access into the common platform.
While the list can go on with advancements made in exchange server 2010 to wrap up the content on
exchange server 2010 the enhancements to email retention achieving and eDiscovery search were
significant in exchange server 2010. Organizations were able to eliminate third party achieving products
and rely solely on exchange server 2010 for the long primary mailboxes in exchange, but also have email
archives where data can be stored from a data management perspective eliminating the need for users to
have multiple personal store .PST files spread around with old mail messages stored and also from the
ability of the organization to implement and enforce data retention for legal compliance reasons. The
exchange server 2010 enabled eDiscovery of content stored in users mailboxes with the ability to query
message content, extract messages and put mailboxes on litigation hold to prevent users from purposely
or accidentally deleting legal message evidence. You will find exchange server 2013 extends all of these
core enhancements introduced in exchange server 2010 further improving users experiences in their
messaging voice content and information management systems.
pack 2 on premise. Organization were able to have users split between on premise exchange server and
office 365 whether the hybrid was during a migration process the hybrid was temporary during for
example an acquisition of an organization or the strategy of the organization to have core administration
users access exchange on premise and field works or temporary workers on office 365. The office 365
continues to evolve and with exchange server 2013 again provide an on premise exchange server 2013
environment as well as a cloud based version of exchange server
