You remember Steve, right? That’s Steve from Sales, the guy who absolutely needed access to an email that he deleted over a year ago. You probably clearly remember the hassles of having to first find and then restore his mailbox. Perhaps you even recall sifting through his messages, trying to find that single, solitary email, […]

Striking a balance between securing network resources and ensuring that users have the tools they need to do their job presents a difficult quandary for IT managers and network administrators alike. If your network is like most, your users are likely inundated with almost unmanageable levels of junk email. Spam is not only intrusive and […]

One of the most frequent questions I see posted to both the 2000trainers.com newsgroup and the Microsoft public newsgroups is about setting up OWA (Outlook Web Access) to use SSL for security. This is especially important in a scenario where you are using a Front-end/Back-end configuration as Front-end servers only support basic authentication. This might […]

Implementing network security is like trying to chase a moving target at the best of times. Some companies spend tens of thousands of dollars per year reactively trying to solve problems as they occur. If you had the unfortunate experience of having to react to the Klez worm or the Love Bug virus, you certainly […]

Ok, now that I have had a little bit of a break, I guess it is time to get back to the articles! Today we are going to talk about Recipient Policies. Not necessarily the most glamorous feature of Exchange 2000, but definitely something worth knowing about. In Exchange 5.5, similar functionality was found in […]

This week we are going to change gears, moving away from planning to talk about creating recipients in Exchange 2000. We have four types of recipient objects that we can create in Exchange 2000, including mailbox-enabled recipients, mail-enabled recipients, contacts, and distribution groups.
