Summary

Exchange System Manager (ESM) was first introduced with Exchange 2000 as a replacement for the Exchange Administrator used in previous versions of Exchange. Exchange System Manager 2003 is a specialized preconfigured Microsoft Management Console (MMC), Exchange System Manager.msc, which helps you manage your Exchange organization. With the capability to run along with other tools (Active Directory Users and Computers, Internet Services Manager, Event Viewer, and so on) in the same console using context menus (via the right mouse button), Exchange System Manager 2003 is an integrated toolbox for administrators who deal with all areas of Exchange server management, including policies, public folders, servers, and routing.
