Continued 18 Chapter 1 • Introducing Exchange Server 2007 Exchange Server Permissions In previous versions of Exchange, administrative groups were administrative boundaries that contained servers and other objects. Although these administrative groups could be used to segregate administration within your organization, they were far from fl exible and thus have been discontinued in Exchange Server 2007. Instead, you can now delegate permissions from the organization down to the server. No matter whether your organization uses a centralized or decentralized administrative model, you can delegate permissions to more closely match that model and easily adapt to new models as your organization changes. All permissions in an Exchange Server 2007 organization are confi gured by assigning administrative access roles to Active Directory users or groups. As can be seen in Figure 1.7, four different Exchange administrator roles exist in Exchange Server 2007. The following is a brief description of each role: Exchange Organization Administrators Group The Exchange Organization Administrators Group role provides administrators with full access to all Exchange properties and objects in the Exchange organization. Exchange Recipient Administrators Group The Exchange Recipient Administrators Group role has permissions to modify any Exchange property on an Active Directory user, contact, group, dynamic distribution list, or public folder object. Exchange Server Administrators The Exchange Server Administrators role has access to only local server Exchange confi guration data, either in the Active Directory or on the physical computer on which Exchange Server 2007 Table 1.1 Continued Service Description Microsoft Exchange This service provides the SMTP to Exchange 2007 Transport Service transport servers. Microsoft Exchange This service enables Microsoft Exchange Unifi ed Unifi ed Messaging Messaging features. This enables voice and fax messages to be stored in Microsoft Exchange and gives users telephone access to e-mail, voicemail, calendar, contacts, or an automated attendant. If this service is stopped, users will not be able use the Unifi ed Messaging features. Microsoft Search Microsoft Search (Exchange) quickly creates full-text (Exchange) indexes on content and properties of structured data to enable fast linguistic searches on this data. Introducing Exchange Server 2007 • Chapter 1 19 is installed. Users who are members of the Exchange Server Administrators role have permission to administer a particular server, but do not have permission to perform operations that have global impact in the Exchange organization. Exchange View-Only Administrators Group The Exchange View-Only Administrators Group role has read-only access to the entire Exchange organization tree in the Active Directory confi guration container, and read-only access to all of the Windows domain containers that have Exchange recipients. Figure 1.7 Adding an Exchange Administrator to an Administrator Role 20 Chapter 1 • Introducing Exchange Server 2007 64-Bit Support Only One of the major architectural changes in the Exchange Server 2007 product is the shift to a true 64-bit environment. As you might be aware, previous versions of Exchange did support 64-bit processors, however they didn’t take advantage of them since they were still only 32-bit applications under the hood. Exchange Server 2007 is a true 64-bit messaging platform, and thus gives signifi cant database scalability creating larger mailbox and/or public folder stores in your environment. This is possible due to the fact that 64-bit processing allows you to store much more data in memory, causing a lot less I/O load on the disks. In addition, there is support for much larger mailboxes (+2GB). The move to 64-bit also means you are no longer limited to the 4 GB memory limitation of Exchange 2003 in your servers. Exchange 2007 supports up to eight TB of memory, but at the time of this writing, the hardware limit is 64 GB of RAM, which should be suffi cient. The 64-bit Support Only heading is not 100 percent true, since a 32-bit version actually exists; however it is meant for evaluation and testing purposes only. The 32-bit version is a time bombed version in addition to not being supported in a production. There’s only one exception to this rule, and that is using the 32-bit versions to install the Management Console and perform management tasks (using the EMC and Shell, extending the Active Directory and Schema with Setup, and so forth.) Active Directory-Based Routing Topology With Exchange Server 2007, the way messages are routed between the Hub Transport servers (known as Bridgehead servers in Exchange Server 2003) has changed considerably. You no longer need to set up routing group connectors between routing groups in the Exchange organization when you design your Exchange topology. The routing group functionality has been removed from the Exchange product (see the list of discontinued features later in this chapter). Why has this fl exible way of routing messages throughout an Exchange organization been removed? It has been determined that routing groups actually have several drawbacks, one being long stretches of time where two servers disagree about a connection state, in many situations causing routing loops. Another is the diffi culty in tracking why a message took a given route at a given point in time, because the link state table for the Exchange topology was never persistent and /or logged. Lastly, the routing groups and routing group connector concept forced Exchange administrators to recreate and mimic the underlying network, which can be a time-consuming task. So, how do you set up your routing topology in Exchange Server 2007? You don’t! Exchange Server 2007 is a site-aware application, meaning that it can determine its own Active Directory site membership and the Active Directory site membership of other servers by querying Active Directory. Instead of using its own routing group topology, Exchange uses the AD directory service site topology to determine how messages are transported in the organization. This means that the Hub Transport servers in your Exchange organization retrieve information from Active Directory in order to determine how messages should be routed between servers. You need to deploy a Hub Transport server in each site containing a Mailbox server, meaning when user A in one site sends a message to user B in another site, the Mailbox server contacts the Hub Transport server in its own site, and then routes the message to the Hub Transport server in user B’s site, ultimately delivering the message to the mailbox server hosting user B’s mailbox. Introducing Exchange Server 2007 • Chapter 1 21 De-emphasized Features The following legacy Exchange features have been de-emphasized in Exchange Server 2007. What does that mean? It means that these features are still included in the Exchange product, but they’re not prioritized anymore, and will most likely disappear in the next Exchange release after Exchange Server 2007 (currently codenamed E14). ■ Public Folders ■ Proxy Address Generators ■ CDO 1.21 ■ MAPI32 ■ CDOEX (CDO 3.0) ■ Exchange WebDAV extensions ■ ExOLEDB ■ Store Events ■ Streaming backup APIs ■ Exchange Server Virus Scanning API (VSAPI) Discontinued Features Because of the major architectural changes in Exchange Server 2007, several of the features and components included in previous versions of Exchange have been discontinued in Exchange Server 2007. Discontinued features are features that for some reason or other didn’t make it into Exchange Server 2007, either because they were replaced by other new features or because the Exchange Product team no longer thought it made sense to keep supporting them in Exchange Server 2007. Below is a comprehensive list of features that didn’t make it into Exchange Server 2007. Architecture Features Several architectural related features were removed or replaced in Exchange Server 2007. ■ Routing Groups ■ Administrative Groups ■ Link State Routing ■ Routing Objects ■ IMF (replaced by Content Filter which can be considered IMF v3) ■ Network Attached Storage (NAS) ■ Exchange installable File System (ExIFS) ■ Event Service . versions to install the Management Console and perform management tasks (using the EMC and Shell, extending the Active Directory and Schema with Setup, and so forth.)
