Administering an Exchange Server

Administrators who have worked with Exchange Server over the years are used to change. With each major release, Microsoft evaluates what works well (and what works "not so well") and uses this information to refine future revisions of the product.

Exchange Server 2003 had the Exchange System Manager and utilized Exchange Administrative Roles to grant administrative permissions. Exchange Server 2007 introduced us to the Exchange Management Console and the Exchange Management Shell and relied primarily on Access Control Lists (ACLs) to manage permissions. The Exchange Management Shell, a utility welcomed by administrators everywhere, was built on Microsoft Windows PowerShell technology and allowed administrators to manage virtually every aspect of their Exchange Server environment from a command line.
