The TechNet Exchange Center at http://w
ww.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/exchange2003/default.asp is an excellent
technical clearinghouse of resources and information related to Exchange 2003. Information
on this site is conveniently broken down into the natural lifecycle categories for a product
such as Exchange: evaluate, plan, deploy, support, and train.
While the TechNet Exchange Center is not new (it existed for Exchange 5.5 and Exchange
2000), what is new to the TechNet site is the Exchange Server 2003 Technical Documentation
Library (TDL). The TDL is a catalog of Exchange-related technical documents that have been
reviewed and approved by the Exchange product team. You'll want to check this site
frequently because there are some upcoming technical documents yet to be published. As of
this writing, the following documents are scheduled for future release around the following
estimated dates:
- Exchange 2003 Automation Guide (March 2004)
- Exchange 2003 Backup, Restore, and Disaster Recovery Guide (March 2004)
- Exchange 2003 Client Access Guide (March 2004)
- Exchange 2003 Interoperability and Migration Guide (March 2004)
- Exchange 2003 Message Security Guide (March 2004)
- Exchange 2003 Performance and Scalability Guide (March 2004)
- Exchange 2003 Reliability and Clustering Guide (March 2004)
- Exchange 2003 Security Guide (June 2004)
- Exchange 2003 Technical Overview (June 2004)
- Exchange 2003 Transport and Routing Guide (June 2004)
- Exchange 2003 Troubleshooting Guide (June 2004)
- Unsupported Exchange 2003 Deployments (June 2004)
- Welcome to Microsoft Messaging (March 2004)
All documents that have an expiration date will have a checked book icon next to them
in the TDL. On or before the document's expiration date, a newer replacement document will
be posted (often, although not always, with the same name). You may hear these referred to
as living documents because they will grow and evolve along with Exchange 2003. The
TDL can be accessed directly from http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/library
. If you ever want to provide feedback to Microsoft about an Exchange 2003 technical
document, you can do so by sending an e-mail to exchdocs@microsoft.com.
