This documentation consists of a collection of how-to and conceptual topics that are organized by subject or by Microsoft Exchange 2007 technologies. You can access each topic directly from the table of contents in the left pane, from a link in another Help topic, from the results of a search, or from your own custom list of favorite topics.

Exchange Conventions

Microsoft Exchange 2007 runs only on the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family of products. For the procedures in the Exchange 2007 Help, it is assumed that you are running Exchange 2007 on Windows Server 2003 with the latest security updates and service packs.

If you must configure Exchange 2000 Server or Exchange Server 2003 to connect to an Exchange 2007 computer, the user interface and procedure or procedures may be different. Where applicable, the separate procedures for each version of Microsoft Exchange are included.

Getting Help

For example, you can locate information by performing a search in Help and then add that information to a list of your favorite Help topics on the Favorites tab.
