Native Mode Dependencies There is no such concept as ‘Exchange 2003 native mode’. Both Exchange 2000 and 2003 servers can live in a native mode Exchange organization. There is no such concept as ‘Exchange 2003 native mode’. Both Exchange 2000 and 2003 servers can live in a native mode Exchange organization. However … However …  Query-based Distribution Groups (QDGs) can only be created in a native mode Exchange organization  If routing bridgehead pairs are upgraded to Exchange 2003 in a native mode org, they will use 8BITMIME data transfers instead of converting down to 7-bit. This equates to a considerable bytes on the wire saving over Routing Group Connectors  In native mode, the Exchange Store automatically ignores and removes zombie ACE entries (applicable if you previously had Exchange 5.5 in the organization)

ESM on Windows XP Pre-requisites for installing the Exchange Management components on a Windows XP workstation Pre-requisites for installing the Exchange Management components on a Windows XP workstation  The computer must be part of the domain/forest  Windows XP with Service Pack 1 must be installed  The Windows 2003 Admin Management Pack must be installed  The Windows XP SMTP service must be installed

ESM-only Installation Ref. Windows XP SP1: Windows XP SP1:  Internet Information Services Snap-In component (In Add/Remove Programs)  SMTP Service component (In Add/Remove Programs)  SMTP Service should be disabled after service is installed (reason being SMTP snap-in is only needed and Security threat)  WWW Service (SMTP requires this) should be disabled after service is installed (reason being Security threat)  Windows 2003 AdminPack (provides NNTP snap-in and ADUC snap-in) Windows XP SP2 (planned): Windows XP SP2 (planned):  Internet Information Services Snap-In component (In Add/Remove Programs)  SMTP snap-in is now provided as part of IIS Manager component  Windows 2003 AdminPack (provides NNTP snap-in and ADUC snap-in) Windows 2003 Windows 2003  Internet Information Services Manager component (In Add/Remove Programs) Windows 2000 SP3 Professional Windows 2000 SP3 Professional  Internet Information Services Snap-In component (In Add/Remove Programs)  Windows 2000 Server AdminPack (provides SMTP snap-in, NNTP snap-in and ADUC snap-in) Windows 2003 SP3 Server Windows 2003 SP3 Server  Internet Information Services Snap-In component (In Add/Remove Programs)  SMTP Service component (In Add/Remove Programs)  Should disable service after installed (only need the SMTP snap-in)  NNTP Service component (In Add/Remove Programs)  Should disable service after installed (only need the NNTP snap-in)

Internet Explorer 6.0 As with Exchange 2000, there is an ‘uplevel’ and ‘down level’ OWA client As with Exchange 2000, there is an ‘uplevel’ and ‘down level’ OWA client  Up level = IE 5.01 and later  Down level = All other browsers (inc. IE 5.01 for UNIX) Additional features when using IE 6.0 Additional features when using IE 6.0  OWA S/MIME – Requires IE 6.0 (or later)  OWA Compression – Requires IE Q (or later)  OWA Clear Credentials on logout* – Requires IE 6.0 SP1 (or later) * = Forms-based authentication not required

OWA Compatibility It is not sufficient to simply upgrade front-end servers to Exchange 2003 for users to get the new interface It is not sufficient to simply upgrade front-end servers to Exchange 2003 for users to get the new interface You must upgrade back-end servers to Exchange 2003 as well You must upgrade back-end servers to Exchange 2003 as well Interface matrix Interface matrix  Ex2000 FE + Ex2000 BE = Ex2000 OWA  Ex2003 FE + Ex2000 BE = Ex2000 OWA  Ex2000 FE + Ex2003 BE = Not supported (AG protected)  Ex2003 FE + Ex2003 BE = Ex2003 OWA

From Exchange 5.5 Get up to speed on the ExDeploy tool Get up to speed on the ExDeploy tool  You can’t run SETUP without it! ForestPrep no longer creates the org name ForestPrep no longer creates the org name  However, first server install must be Exchange 2003 and not Exchange 2000 No in-place upgrade option No in-place upgrade option  Drop in a new Exchange 2003 server Use the new ESM to move mailboxes Use the new ESM to move mailboxes  Schedulable  Move from within ESM
