MS Certified Exchange Server Help and Technical Support

Exchange 2000 Server
Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 is the initial email platform developed by Microsoft to use AD directory services rather than a non-standard directory system. This design revolution made Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server dramatically easier to manage and Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server is still the heart of the email environment used by numerous small businesses.

Years of background with Microsoft's email platforms makes Progent among the most knowledgeable IT consulting firms in the United States for supporting email solutions powered by MS Exchange Server 2000. Progent is experienced at assisting small companies who continue to operate MS Exchange 2000 Server and Progent can help your organization understand the costs and benefits of migrating your MS Exchange Server 2K system to a current version of Exchange. (Refer to Progent's Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 migration planning and support services and Exchange 2013 expertise.)

Advantages of MS Exchange Server 2000 Vs. MS Exchange 5.5 Server
Microsoft Exchange Server 2K offers important enhancements in functionality compared to MS Exchange 5.5 Server in key areas including connectivity, ease of administration, security, robustness, capacity, and speed.

• The 2000 version of MS Exchange Server brought a dramatic improvement in functionality over the Microsoft Exchange 5.5 web interface. MS Exchange Server 2000 offers a solid implementation of the traditional Outlook interface, including scheduling and tools. Consequently, authorized mobile workers can have unrestricted, protected access to email even in the absence of their mobile computer. The only thing mobile clients require is an Internet-connected computer that has a conventional web browser.
• Unlike Microsoft Exchange 5.5, which uses its own directory, Microsoft Exchange Server 2K uses Active Directory, offering a greatly simplified management and security model. This makes Microsoft Exchange Server 2K easier to manage and support and in addition offers better protection.
• Microsoft Exchange Server 2K has a robust foundation for transparently integrating third-party software such as virus detection programs and anti-spamming utilities. Microsoft Exchange Server 2K's tested API eliminates the instability existing with Exchange 5.5 when integrating third-party add-ins.
• MS Exchange Server 2000 provides dramatically improved capacity and responsiveness compared to Exchange 5.5. This means you can have more and larger mailboxes and gain faster off-site access.

Benefits of Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 Over an ISP-based or POP3 Email Environment
If your business currently has clients supported by a messaging system hosted by an Internet Service Provider or if you are running some Outlook clients in POP3 mode, your Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 offers an array of enhanced features in the categories of ease of administration, performance, traffic volume, availability, and collaboration:

• Unlike the store-and-forward technique followed by POP3 messaging, MS Exchange Server 2K uses a central-store architecture that liberates clients from dependence on a single desktop or notebook computer, reduces exposure to hardware failure or malicious software, and allows on-line and off-line email, auto-backup, and sophisticated sharing and team tasks.
• Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 offers powerful collaboration features that allow teams to increase efficiency by sharing calendaring, address books, messages and files.
• The flexibility of MS Exchange 2000 Server makes it possible to add third-party security enhancements or accommodate wireless smartphones such as the Research in Motion BlackBerry.
• Microsoft Exchange Server 2K allows complete on-line backup without disturbing clients, making possible 24x7 operation by avoiding periodic downtime and maintenance interruptions.
