Before You Begin

To perform the exercises in this chapter, you need the following hardware and software:

• Two Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, servers. Server01 should be a domain controller installed in the tailspintoys.com Active Directory domain, and Server02 should be a domain controller installed in the contoso.com Active Directory domain. Server01 should be multihomed. Local Area Connection on Server01 should be on the same network as Local Area Connection on Server02. Local Area Connection 2 on Server01 simulates an external network. It does not need to be connected to anything, but if you want, you can use it for Internet access.

  Note

  If your Active Directory domains are not called tailspintoys.com and contoso.com, there is no need to rename them. Instead use your domain names rather than tailspintoys.com and contoso.com whenever these names are mentioned in the chapter exercises.

• Exchange Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, should be installed on both servers. Server02 should be configured as a recovery server for Server01. Server02 was configured as a recovery server in Chapter 12, "Backup and Restore."

• Network Monitor should be installed on Server01. This was done in Chapter 13, "Monitoring Microsoft Exchange Server 2003."

• Windows Server Support tools should be installed on Server01. The installation file is located in the Support\Tools folder on the Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 installation CD.
