What Youll Learn

Video 1: Introduction to Microsoft Exchange and Exchange Certification |13:40
Are you ready for Exchange 2010? If youre not, then this series is perfect for you. Even if you are, brushing up on the configuration tips and tactics youll be using during deployment and on a daily basis is an excellent learning experience for your job role. Not to mention that Microsofts new MCITP certification series starts by passing that allimportant 70662 TS: Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, Configuring exam. It all starts in this first nugget, where we introduce the series, talk a bit about the fullyfeatured Exchange organization well be building and working with throughout this series, and get things started for twenty nuggets of Exchange learning.

Video 2: Understanding Exchange Roles and Components |14:26
Truly understanding Exchange means also understanding its roles and components. Were you aware that Exchange 2010 is now equipped with five different roles for a member server: Mailbox Server, Client Access Server, Hub Transport Server, Edge Transport Server, and Unified Messaging Server. In this nugget, youll learn about the role of each role, along with the specific reasons why Microsoft has broken each out. With them, youll find that Exchange can scale from ten users to ten thousand or more at exactly the point you need it.

Video 3: Preparing your Infrastructure and Installing your First Exchange Server |34:27
What most administrators dont know is that Exchange 2010 isnt necessarily a Next, Next, Finish installation. There are a number of prerequisites and other software that must get on your candidate server prior to installation. That server must also have the right hardware configuration. Youll learn about all those needs as well as the steps necessary for installation in this nugget.

Video 4: Mailbox Server Role: Databases, Mailboxes, and Public Folders |31:05
You know that an Exchange organization has mailboxes, and that those mailboxes are stored in mailbox databases. But do you know how to work with those databases, creating, configuring, and enabling them properly for use by users. Creation and configuration of mailbox databases and public folders are the topic for this important firststart with the Mailbox Server role.

Video 5: Mailbox Server Role: Addresses, Folders, Groups, Contacts, and Resource Mailboxes |30:53
And yet mailboxes arent the only things that require management on your Mailbox Servers. Your Exchange organization requires a host of recipient objects that include address lists, offline address books, mail contacts, distribution groups, and resource mailboxes for things like conference rooms and checkedout equipment. Exchange 2010 also now includes managed folder with their managed folder policies through its inclusion of Messaging Records Management. Learn about all those necessary items in this nugget.

Video 6: Client Access Server Role: Outlook, OWA, and the Exchange Control Panel |25:18
Mailboxes are great, but only if your users can get to them. Ensuring that connection of user to their mailbox is the job of the Client Access Server role. Separating out the CAS in an Exchange organization dramatically improves your administration of mailboxes, by providing a separate location for directing users to mailboxes. In this nugget, youll learn how that process works for both Outlook as well as Outlook Web App. Youll also discover some of the exciting features in OWA such as direct file access, WebReady Document Viewing, and remote file servers, all of which improve the users experience in interacting with their mail.

Video 7: Client Access Server Role: POP & IMAP, ActiveSync, and Outlook Anywhere |23:50
Todays email is becoming ever more pervasive. We can access it from almost anywhere. Thats the topic in this second nugget on the Client Access Server role. In it, youll learn about the role of POP and IMAP access, as well as how to properly configure it when you need it. Youll also learn the tactics for configuring ActiveSync for mobile devices, including ActiveSync mailbox policies and offline address book distribution. Youll also learn how to enable and use Outlook Anywhere, a service that leans on Microsofts RPC over HTTP proxy for getting Internetbased Outlook clients routed to their mail.

Video 8: Hub Transport Role: Message Transport, Connectors, Accepted Domains, and Remote Domains |29:39
Youre not the only organization out there. Nor are you the only business. Sometimes your business needs to interact with other businesses, and that usually happens through the Internet. Another job of the Hub Transport Server is in routing mail to the right place. That can use send connectors and receive connectors for smart hosts at your perimeter or your provider. It can also use Edge Subscriptions to Edge Transport servers. It can also mean interacting more deeply with other namespaces through accepted dom

Video 9: Hub Transport Role: Email Address Policies, Transport Rules, and Journal Rules |13:51
In Exchange 2010 every single piece of mail that changes hands must go through a Hub Transport Server, even when that piece of mail needs to route from two mailboxes in the same database. Another role of the Hub Transport server is in being that single (yet distributed) point of access for mail transfer. It enjoys this position because from that location it can apply transport rules, journal rules, email address policies, and many other forms of email policies to ensure that your mail remains safe and compliant. Youll learn about those rules and policies in this second look at the Hub Transport Server.

Video 10: Edge Transport Role: Installing and Configuring |25:43
Mail inside your organization bounces around from Hub Transport Server to Hub Transport Server, but sometimes that mail needs to route to the Internet. You can accomplish that task through another smart host or a mail provider, or you can route it yourself through an Edge Transport Server. Edge Transport Servers uniquely sit in your DMZ, outside your Windows Domain. They leverage a copy of only the mostnecessary parts of your Active Directory through a local Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services partition. Getting all that working correctly is the topic for this important nugget.

Video 11: Edge Transport Role: Message Filtering and AntiSpam |28:37
That same Edge Transport Server is also your buffer with the outside world. On it are a set of message filtering and antispam technologies that ensure only the right mail gets passed into your organization. At the same time, its services also ensure that you dont become a bad Internet citizen, relaying mail inappropriately to others. Youll learn all about Exchanges technologies to accomplish this in this nugget: IP Allow Lists, IP Block Lists, IP Allow and Block List Providers, Sender ID, Sender and Recipient Filtering, Sender Reputation, and Attachment filtering.

Video 12: Understanding and Implementing Federated Sharing |12:49
You have an Exchange organization, as does your partner company elsewhere on the Internet. You want to share some forms of Exchange data with that company. How do you do it? With Exchange 2010, you implement Exchange Federated Sharing in cooperation with the Microsoft Federation Gateway. With the right X.509 certificates, a federation trust, some DNS TXT records for your AppID, and an organization relationship or sharing policy, you can determine exactly what kinds of data you want o share and among which people.

Video 13: RoleBased Access Control in Exchange Administration |28:11
Access control in Exchange 2010 isnt your usual ACLbased system. Exchange 2010 uses a somewhat complicated rolebased architecture for handing out privileges to users thats very different than what youre used to. In it, youll need to integrate the individual actions you want people to do with the right groups of actions, groups of users, and a special “glue” that holds them all together. The result, while fantastically scalable for the largest of organizations can be a little daunting at first. To understand it best, you must watch this nugget. In it youll learn the five parts of Exchanges RBAC model, how Exchange actions link onetoone to Exchange PowerShell cmdlets, and the proper ways to build them (using both PowerShell and the Exchange Control Panel) so that administrators get the right privileges.

Video 14: Exchange Backup and Data Recovery |23:29
Exchange 2010 comes with some marked improvements to mailbox recoverability. No more storage groups, recovery databases, the decoupling of databases from specific servers, all of these aggregate to make Exchange 2010 the best solution for mail backup and restore yet. But you need to know the right tips and tactics to ensure youre actually backing up, and that you actually can recover – from the individual item, to specific mailboxes, to entire databases. This nugget discusses those steps, including special tricks like dial tone recovery and recovering from database corruption, ISINTEG and ESEUTIL, and the right order of steps to ensure you get back to operations quickly.

Video 15: Exchange High Availability: Database Availability Groups |28:55
One of those brand new tactics is Exchange 2010s impressive new Database Availability Groups. DAGs are a combination of the previous Exchange versions Single Copy Cluster (SCC), Cluster Continuous Replication (CCR), Local Continuous Replication (LCR), Standby Continuous Replication (SCR) and more. This nugget discuss how to configure DAGs, including assigning a file share witness (along with how to “cheat” by using a file server rather than another Exchange server), replication latency, configuring lag and failover priority for data protection, suspending and reseeding, and why and how to create special DAG networks.

Video 16: Exchange High Availability: Public Folders and NonMailbox Servers |14:38
And yet preserving the data that is your mail isnt the only important step in Exchange high availability. Also necessary to protect are your Public Folders and your other roles that dont host mailboxes. This nugget discusses the creation of Client Access Server arrays using Windows Network Load Balancing and thirdparty solutions. It discusses why the Hub Transport role is automatically a highlyavailable role once you expand to more than one site, and how to configure load balancing and/or DNS MX records for Edge Transport Servers. Youll also learn about Public Folder replicas, replica scheduling, and how to set Public Folder referrals to keep your important data operational.

Video 17: Exchange Monitoring and Reporting |20:26
Exchange monitoring and reporting is a full 13% of the 70662 exam content. This means you absolutely need to know it if youre to be successful for the test. You also need to know it if youre to recognize when performance or mail flow problems are causing problems in your organization. This nugget explores not only the monitors that are available, but also Exchanges builtin analyzers and troubleshooters. Youll also explore the multitude of logs that can be enabled to trace down root causes to common problems.

Video 18: Exchange from the Outside World: Security, Certificates, Name Resolution, and Autodiscovery |22:55
Attaching clients to your Exchange organization from the outside world isnt a trivial task. You need the right firewall ports. You need attack surface reduction with the Security Configuration Wizard. You need certificates, and potentially more than one. You need name resolution. You also need autodiscovery to make the process easier, along with all the complex configurations that come with the autodiscovery service. Learn about all of these in this nuggets endtoend look at Exchange from the Outside World.

Video 19: Migrating from Previous Exchange Versions to Exchange 2010 |12:43
While theres plenty of content on the Internet thatll help you create a new Exchange organization, most of us wont be creating brand new ones in our lifetime outside a lab. For most of us, knowing how to migrate from previous versions of Exchange is a major project in our careers future. Learn the exact steps to do that in this allimportant capstone module. In it, youll learn the precise series of steps that are necessary to upgrade Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010. This module is not one to miss.

Video 20: Managing Exchange 2010 with Windows PowerShell |15:00
Finally, conclude your learning with a look at Windows PowerShell for Exchange administration. Throughout this series youve already learned a set of PowerShell cmdlets for accomplishing needed actions. This final nugget sums them up, giving you your short list of those that youll use the most. Youll also learn about PowerShells implicit remoting for Exchange, a technique that enables you to use Exchanges cmdlets from any PowerShell enabled computer (and one thats just ridiculously cool). Youll explore some of the scripts that are part of every Exchange installation, and learn how to use Exchanges PowerShell command log to tell you exactly which PowerShell commands are invoked every time you click something in the Exchange Management Console.
