Adaptability

Microsoft Exchange Server can be adapted to suit both large and small organizations, with or without existing messaging systems. It can be used in many countries and is available in many languages.

Microsoft Exchange Server provides tools for converting e-mail and user account information from other systems, including DEC ALL-IN-1, PROFS or OfficeVision, MS Mail (PC), MS Mail (Appletalk), Lotus cc:Mail, and others, as follows:

Source extractors   copy directory, message, and scheduling data from other systems. In addition, templates are provided for writing custom source extractors.

Migration Wizard   imports data created with source extractors.

For more information on source extractors and the Migration Wizard, see Microsoft Exchange Server Migration.

Import and export commands (in the Administrator program)   used in place of or with source extractors and the Migration Wizard.
