70-284 Notes 9 (EXAM TOMORROW!)

• To enable all hosts on a network to communicate with each other and with hosts on the internet, you should ensure that each hosts routing table is properly configured. The routing table on each host, including the routers, should contain one default route.
  
• The default route is the most general route through which a host can reach the largest number of destinations. To configure the default route, the default gateway should be specified. The default gateway address is the address of the near side of the router that can receive TCP/IP packets directly from the host and forward them to the appropriate destinations.
  

  
   

• For optimal I/O performance, you should place the transaction logs for each storage group on a separate physical disk or RAID device.
  

  
   

• To extract information from a recovered mailbox in the RSG and to merge it with the new user's mailbox, you must use the Exmerge utility. To perform this task, you must have at least the 'Receive As' permission for the mailbox store
  

  
   

• Archiving (keeping mail sent or received for a specific amount of time) is configured on the mailbox store level. On the general tab of the properties sheet for that store, you should select 'Archive all messages sent or received by mailboxes on that store' and specify the recipient that will be used as the destination of the archived messages
  
• You cannot remove the 'Deleted Items' Folder from users mailboxes
  

  
   

• Active/Passive configuration:
  
  • 'Create a single Exchange virtual server, and specify both nodes as possible owners'
    

    
     

• To perform the first installation of an exchange server 2003 You need to be a member of the enterprise admins and schema admins group in the forest root domain and a member of the local admin group on the member server
  

  
   

• Eseutil /r = recovery mode, /p = repair mode
  

  
   

• To migrate data from an Internet messaging system to Exchange 2003, the
  

  Exchange Migration Wizard requires mailbox access for each user who is
  

  migrated. To provide this access, including information about the user
  

  accounts and passwords, you must create an imapusr.csv file. For each IMAP4
  

  user that you want to migrate, you must specify the mailbox name, SMTP
  

  address, password, and the IMAP server on which the mailbox resides. You can
  

  specify the fully qualified server name or the IP address for the server.
  

  The values must be separated by commas. If you have performed an LDAP export
  

  using the Exchange Migration Wizard, you can find a basic imapusr.csv file in the resulting migration folder.
  

 

 

• By creating contacts in each organization for the users in the other domain, the users can access any users' contact from their own GAL without requiring permissions.
  

  
   

• Because of the tight integration between Exchange and ActiveDirectory, the ActiveDirectory forest structure directly affects your Exchange planning. There is a one-to-one relationship between an ActiveDirectory forest and an Exchange organization. An Exchange organization can span only a single ActiveDirectory forest. Likewise, an ActiveDirectory forest can host only a single Exchange organization.
  

 

• The use of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol over SMTP offers
  

  certificate-based authentication and helps provide security-enhanced data
  

  transfers by using symmetric encryption keys. In symmetric-key encryption
  

  (also known as shared secret), the same key is used to encrypt and to
  

  decrypt the message. TLS applies a Hash-based Message Authentication Code
  

  (HMAC). HMAC uses a hash algorithm in combination with a shared secret key
  

  to help make sure that the data has not been modified during transmission.
  

  The shared secret key is appended to the data to be hashed. This helps
  

  enhance the security of the hash because both parties must have the same
  

  shared secret key to verify that the data is authentic.
  

  To enable TLS encryption for a specific remote domain in Exchange Server,
  

  you install an X.509 server certificate on the exchange server and create a
  

  new SMTP Connector with TLS encryption enabled. Offcourse you must do the
  

  same installation on the remote exchange server.
  

  
   

• The default cost of an SMTP connector is 1
  

  
   

• The Calendar Connector always stores free and busy information in its administrative group's public folder, specifically the Schedule+ Free Busy public folder. If there are multiple administrative groups on an Exchange 2003 server, each administrative group has its own public folder. In this case, free and busy information for Exchange 2003 users may be stored in a different public folder than the free and busy information for users on partner computers.
  

  
   

• To import data into exchange mailboxes, you need the 'Send As' permission
  

To extract information you need the 'Receive As' permission
