Before You Begin

Microsoft® Exchange Server consists of services that provide your organization with advanced messaging and information management tools. Before you begin migrating from your present e-mail system to Microsoft Exchange Server, it is important to have a plan in place. This is particularly necessary for large organizations, where preparation is key to the successful implementation of a new system. You should assess your needs and resources and decide how you will distribute those resources most effectively. Making these decisions during the planning phase enables you to migrate to Microsoft Exchange Server efficiently and saves you time and effort later.

This book describes the concepts for migrating to Microsoft Exchange Server, and provides an overview of the available tools and specific instructions for migrating from your existing system to Microsoft Exchange Server. Administrators are advised to use this guide to plan their Microsoft Exchange Server migration.

This manual is accessible from the Help menu in the Administrator program.
