3938 - Updating Your Skills from Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server or Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007

COURSE OVERVIEW

In response to student and Instructor feedback, we have extended this course to four days so that participants are provided the time necessary to complete labs and workshop exercises and to fully understand the concepts learned in the course.

This instructor-led course offers Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server or Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 administrators the skills they need to manage a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 infrastructure. This course focuses on the new features and administrative tasks in Exchange Server 2007.

The student will learn skills that enable them to deploy and manage an Exchange Server 2007 environment. This course’s aim is not to provide detailed design skills, but will cover planning skills at a level sufficient to enable decision making during the implementation process.
