MS Certified Exchange Consulting and Technical Support

Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server was the first email platform developed by Microsoft to utilize Active Directory rather than its own directory structure. This architectural improvement made Microsoft Exchange Server 2K significantly easier to administer and MS Exchange Server 2K is still the heart of the messaging environment of many small businesses.

Extensive background with Microsoft's email technology makes Progent among the most knowledgeable computer consulting organizations in the United States for supporting messaging environments based on MS Exchange 2000 Server. Progent is experienced at assisting small companies who still operate MS Exchange 2000 Server and Progent can help your company understand the costs and benefits of migrating your Microsoft Exchange Server 2K environment to a current version of Exchange. (See Progent's Exchange 2016 upgrade support and Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 consulting.)

Benefits of MS Exchange Server 2K Over MS Exchange Server 5.5
MS Exchange Server 2K offers major enhancements in functionality over Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 in vital areas including accessibility, ease of administration, security, stability, capacity, and speed.

• The 2000 version of Microsoft Exchange Server represented a significant improvement in features in comparison to the MS Exchange 5.5 web client. MS Exchange Server 2000 offers a solid implementation of the traditional Outlook interface, including scheduling and utilities. Because of this, mobile users can have unrestricted, secure availability of email even without their mobile computer. All they need is a web accessible PC that has a standard web browser.
• In contrast to Microsoft Exchange 5.5, which has its built-in directory, MS Exchange Server 2K utilizes Microsoft Active Directory, providing a greatly simplified management and security architecture. This makes MS Exchange 2000 Server easier to administer and support and in addition offers better security.
• MS Exchange 2000 Server incorporates a strong architecture for transparently integrating third-party applications such as virus detection programs and anti-spamming utilities. MS Exchange 2000 Server's strong API avoids the instability existing with Exchange 5.5 when installing third-party utilities.
• Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 offers dramatically improved capacity and performance over Exchange 5.5. This means you can deploy more and larger mailboxes and enjoy quicker off-site access.

Advantages of Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server Over an ISP-based or POP3 Email System
If your organization currently has users relying on an email solution hosted by an ISP or if you are managing your Outlook users in POP3 mode, your Microsoft Exchange Server 2K offers a wealth of enhanced features in the areas of manageability, responsiveness, traffic volume, availability, and groupware:

• Unlike the store-and-forward technique used by POP3 messaging, Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 uses a central-store architecture that liberates clients from reliance on a specific workstation or notebook PC, lowers vulnerability to hardware breakdowns or security breaches, and permits both on-line and off-line email, automatic backup, and advanced sharing and collaboration.
• MS Exchange Server 2K offers powerful collaboration features that enable teams to increase efficiency by sharing datebooks, addresses, messages and files.
• The flexibility of MS Exchange 2000 Server makes it possible to add third-party security software or accommodate wireless handhelds such as the RIM BlackBerry.
• MS Exchange Server 2000 permits full live backup without affecting users, making possible 24x7 operation by eliminating periodic shutdowns and administrative blackouts.
