RE: 5.5 & Ex2K Differences

[Mike Hoffman]

Title: Message

I was on an Hands-on training day on Exchange on Friday and the instructor stated that the changes from 5.5 to 2000 were as different as the changes from 4 (I think) to 5. He also pointed out that you must have Active Directory to run Exchange 2000. Integrating Exchange with active directory from the start is probably a lot easier than deploying AD and then repeating the setup for each user under exchange.

 

Microsoft are currently running 100% subsidised (i.e. free) training days accross the uk. Portal and Collaboration course is all about exchange 2000 and SharePoint Server and is a good introduction to Exchange 2000.

Plus you will probably be able to persuade the trainer to answer any specific questions that you have.

 

Hope this helps

Sorry, just that your bosses attitude hit a nerve.  You might tell him that I have just completed an upgrade to E2k without prior training and all of the problems I had were the result of things I did not know...  One of them even resulted in a cal to PSS (luckily at the per incident charge not the hourly rate) because it was not documented anywhere that I could find, but it was something that is included in the training...

I agree with your suggestion Chris, but it will not wash with him. This will be part of a bigger migration as I have already upgraded all clients to Win2K Pro, My test environment has also been upgraded to Win2K Servers with no AD yet, my critical servers are next and he want them all Win2K plus the Exchange server.

If there is no difference then you should tell him there is no need to upgrade.

Hi People,
                 I am having to justify to the big boss man why he needs to fund a training course on Exchange 2000.
Because I already administer our 5.5 Exchange server he says he needs justification to spend the money because he does not see any difference between the two versions, he says " It's the same product been renamed".

Can any one tell me in lay terms what are the fundamental differences between the two versions, I am open to any suggestions as what to tell him why it should be me who attend the course.
