Lesson 1: Introduction to the Exchange Server 2007 Server Roles Why Exchange Server 2007 Uses Server Roles What Is the Mailbox Server Role? What Is the Client Access Server Role? What Is the Hub Transport Server Role? What Is the Edge Transport Server Role? What Is the Unified Messaging Server Role? What Are the Server Role Deployment Scenarios? Discussion: Exchange Server 2007 Server Roles

Why Exchange Server 2007 Uses Server Roles Simplified deployment and administration Enhanced scalability Improved security Simplified deployment and administration Enhanced scalability Improved security Mailbox server role Unified Messaging server role Edge Transport server role Client Access server role Hub Transport server role

What Is the Mailbox Server Role? The Mailbox server role: Hosts mailboxes and public folders Enables high availability through clustering, LCR, and CCR Does not transfer messages between mailboxes Hosts mailboxes and public folders Enables high availability through clustering, LCR, and CCR Does not transfer messages between mailboxes The Mailbox server: Should not be directly accessible from the Internet Must be a member of an Active Directory domain Should be connected to a fast storage device such as a SAN Should not be directly accessible from the Internet Must be a member of an Active Directory domain Should be connected to a fast storage device such as a SAN

What Is the Client Access Server Role? The Client Access server role provides: Access to mailboxes for non-MAPI clients Services such as Autodiscover and Web services Access to mailboxes for non-MAPI clients Services such as Autodiscover and Web services The Client Access server: Must be deployed in each Active Directory site that has a Mailbox server Requires a fast network connection to Mailbox servers Should be deployed on the internal network Must be deployed in each Active Directory site that has a Mailbox server Requires a fast network connection to Mailbox servers Should be deployed on the internal network

What Is the Hub Transport Server Role? The Hub Transport server role provides: Message routing Optional antivirus and anti-spam protection Messaging policy compliance Message routing Optional antivirus and anti-spam protection Messaging policy compliance The Hub Transport server: Requires a fast network connection to Mailbox servers and global catalog servers Requires SMTP connectivity to other Hub Transport servers and to the Edge Transport server Is required in every site with a Mailbox server Requires a fast network connection to Mailbox servers and global catalog servers Requires SMTP connectivity to other Hub Transport servers and to the Edge Transport server Is required in every site with a Mailbox server

What Is the Edge Transport Server Role? The Edge Transport server role provides: Internet message delivery Antivirus and anti-spam protection Edge transport rules Address rewriting Internet message delivery Antivirus and anti-spam protection Edge transport rules Address rewriting The Edge Transport server: Cannot be deployed with any other server role Cannot not be a member of an Active Directory domain Should be deployed in a perimeter network Cannot be deployed with any other server role Cannot not be a member of an Active Directory domain Should be deployed in a perimeter network

What Is the Unified Messaging Server Role? The Unified Messaging server role provides: Call answering Fax receiving Subscriber access Auto attendant Call answering Fax receiving Subscriber access Auto attendant The Unified Messaging server: Should not be directly accessible from the Internet Requires access to Mailbox servers, Hub Transport servers, and global catalog servers Requires access to an IP-PBX or VoIP gateway device Should not be directly accessible from the Internet Requires access to Mailbox servers, Hub Transport servers, and global catalog servers Requires access to an IP-PBX or VoIP gateway device

What Are the Server Role Deployment Scenarios? Small Organization Medium-Sized Organization Large Organization
