Chapter 8

Now that you've installed Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, you're probably eager to start working with it. You'll want to begin creating users, groups, and other recipients, but first you need to know some basics of managing the Exchange system. For the most part, you will manage Exchange Server with tools called snap-ins, which work within Microsoft Management Console (MMC). The primary tool you will use is the Exchange System snap-in, which provides a graphical environment for configuring the various services and components of an Exchange organization. This chapter takes a look at the general workings of MMC and the Exchange System snap-in. Then, in the next chapter, you will learn how to use the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in to set up and manage users, contacts, and groups.
