| Microsoft Exchange 2000 is a major design change, not an upgrade. It provides for the most flexibility in designing the new environment, affords the opportunity for true domain redesign, and accommodates synchronization with other IT projects. When successfully deployed, an organizations Exchange 2000 messaging environment represents a completely redesigned network for an integrated 21st century global company. Because Exchange 2000 Server is tightly coupled with Windows 2000, Exchange features enhancements to messaging and collaboration platforms through integration with Active Directory and single-seat administration with the Microsoft Management Console, as well as an improved Outlook Web access client, a distributed architecture, and Web store collaboration.
There is more to moving to Exchange 2000 than upgrading a software platform. These papers were written to help you prepare for the exciting future of Exchange 2000.

Active Directory Disaster Recovery - Windows 2000
Recovering a Microsoft Windows 2000 Domain Controller requires more care and attention to detail than the equivalent operation in Windows NT 4.0. Domain Controllers can assume numerous roles within an Active Directory infrastructure: global catalogs, operations masters, and simple domain controllers. This paper describes the steps you use to recover the Active Directory database after a failure, the associated considerations, and the issues you need to keep in mind when restoring a server to a special role. The steps outlined in this paper have been verified through recovery operations staged in the HP QTEST Windows 2000 organization. QTEST is a worldwide deployment of Windows 2000 servers that is used by HP consultants to verify and test deployment scenarios.

Deploying Microsoft Exchange 2000 Clusters
Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server represents a significant technology evolution compared to previous versions. With Microsoft's focus on scalability, reliability, and availability in Exchange 2000, clustering support has been greatly enhanced. While Exchange Server version 5.5 supported clustering technology, functionality was somewhat limited. With Exchange 2000 and Windows 2000, clustering will become a viable option for organizations seeking to provide higher levels of availability for Exchange deployment projects and server consolidation efforts. This document will provide a resource for HP customers and partners who are seeking to leverage clustering technology with Exchange 2000. It provides an overview of clustering technology along with a review of Microsoft Cluster Server. A detailed discussion of Exchange 2000 clustering technology enhancements is also discussed. Most importantly, installation, setup, and configuration, guidelines for successful deployment of Exchange 2000 on HP ProLiant Clusters is provided.
