Hi Friends,
Here I am starting with some basic questions related to Exchange Server 2003. In few days, I am planning to post most of the questions and their answers which could be asked in interviews.
*************************
Tell me a bit about the capabilities of Exchange Server.
Microsoft Exchange Server is a messaging and collaborative software product developed by Microsoft. It is part of the Microsoft Servers line of server products and is widely used by enterprises using Microsoft infrastructure solutions. Exchange's major features consist of electronic mail, calendaring, contacts and tasks, and support for the mobile and web-based access to information, as well as supporting data storage.

*************************
What are the different Exchange 2003 versions?
Exchange Server 2003 is available in two versions, Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition.
*************************
What are the main differences between Exchange 5.5 and Exchange 2000/2003?
Exchange 5.5 does not integrate with the NT4 domain or the Windows 2000/2003 Active Directory in a meaningful way. A single user could be associated with several different mailboxes. Exchange 2000/2003/2007 integrates tightly with Active Directory, and there is a 1:1 relationship between mailboxes and AD user accounts. There are other differences, depending on whether you have a standard or enterprise version as it relates to maximum database size, but the directory integration is probably the biggest difference.
*************************
To which group does the account that runs the initial ForestPrep in the domain with the Schema Master need to belong so that the AD schema can be extended properly?
Enterprise Administrator
Schema Administrator
*************************
To run a DomainPrep on a domain for the first time, a user account needs to be a member of which group?
Domain Administrator
*************************
Which of the servers does the system that will host the first Exchange Server 2003 server in a forest need to be able to contact during installation?
DNS Server
Schema Master
Domain Controller
DNS server is required so that the system on which the Exchange Server is being installed can locate the Schema Master and a domain controller.
*************************
What are the benefits of running Exchange Server 2003 in native, rather than mixed mode?
User mailboxes can moved between administrative groups.
LDAP query-based distribution groups can be used.
The default routing protocol is SMTP
You can move Exchange Server 2003 computers from one routing group to another.
