What's New

Throughout this book, we will be looking at the new and updated features in Exchange 2003, but here is a quick rundown of what you can expect in this release. Exchange has made the most improvement in four areas: administration, access, reliability, and security.

  • The administration side of Exchange has several new management tools. These include an updated System Manager and updated wizards and experts to make installing and configuring Exchange easier. One area in particular that improved is the capability of an Exchange server to send and receive email from the Internet.

  • On the access front, Exchange 2003 includes an updated version of Outlook Web Access (OWA) that brings the Web interface for Exchange up on par with the full Outlook 2003 client, which has been developed alongside Exchange 2003 and has a number of features that complement Exchange server functionality.

    Exchange 2003 also integrates technology previously found in Mobile Information Server (MIS), meaning that information held on Exchange can now be accessed from different wireless devices. This technology is much easier to install and configure in Exchange 2003.

  • For increased reliability, Exchange 2003 makes use of the Windows Server 2003 shadow copy service, making backups and restores easier. In addition, the new virus-scanning API (VSAPI) makes it easier to keep an Exchange 2003 installation secure.

  • Finally, on the security front, the ability to access Exchange 2003 using Outlook 2003 over an HTTP connection comes courtesy of the use of the RPC protocol over HTTP, which is sure to be another feature that Exchange administrators will appreciate.
