Exchange Server 2003 server-level security involves a combination of policy, configuration, and practices. With any type of system, these aspects require thorough planning, designing, and testing. This includes, but is not limited to, the development of messaging- related security policies, standardization of Windows Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2003 security mechanisms, and implementing industry standard best practices.

Server-level security for the messaging environment is one of the most important considerations for a secure messaging environment because Exchange Server 2003 not only stores messaging data; it is a mission-critical form of communication. As a result, it is important to establish a server-level security plan and to gain a full understanding of the security capabilities of both the operating system that it is dependent on and Exchange.
