Netcomtech Deep Core
Preface
The supplied Exchange books cover architecture, planning, installation, users and groups, Internet messaging, Outlook Web Access, SMTP security, relay control, logging, best practices and troubleshooting. Those subjects remain useful, but the old Exchange 2000/2003 deployment model is historical. This book preserves the lessons and teaches the modern architecture.
This book is original Netcomtech training material. The supplied historical PDFs are used to identify the subject breadth and operational questions worth teaching, while current implementation guidance is checked against current Microsoft documentation.
Read it in order if the subject is new. Experienced administrators can use the chapters as a reference manual.
