Exchange Server Deployment Guide
These topics provide installation and deployment information for intermediate and advanced administrators planning to deploy Microsoft® Exchange Server 2003. These topics are companions to the topics in Planning an Exchange Server 2003 Messaging System. Although the planning topics focus on planning your Exchange Server 2003 system architecture, these topics provide you with the prerequisites and procedures to successfully deploy and install Exchange Server 2003 into your infrastructure.
After you have deployed Exchange Server 2003, you will want to install the latest Exchange Server 2003 service pack. This guide includes information that will help you upgrade to the latest service pack of Exchange Server 2003. If you have already deployed Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and are ready to deploy Exchange Server 2003 SP2, see Post-Installation Steps for Exchange Server 2003.

Introduction to the Exchange Server 2003 Deployment Guide
These topics provide installation and deployment information for intermediate and advanced administrators planning to deploy Microsoft® Exchange Server2003. These topics are companions to the topics in Planning an Exchange Server2003 Messaging System ( Although those topics focus on planning your Exchange2003 system architecture, these topics walk you through the prerequisites and procedures to successfully deploy and install Exchange Server2003 into your infrastructure.
Whether you are deploying a new Exchange Server2003 messaging system or upgrading from a previous Exchange version, these topics will guide you through the deployment process and provide deployment recommendations, including recommendations on how to configure your Exchange2003 organization to run in native mode. These topics also provide instructions about how to use Exchange Server Deployment Tools. Exchange Server Deployment Tools provide you with utilities and wizards to help verify that your organization is in a healthy state before you deploy Exchange2003.
Note:
Your Exchange Server2003 deployment plan should reflect your understanding of how Exchange and Microsoft Windows Server™ operating systems interoperate. It should encompass the relationships between Windows Server2003 and Microsoft Windows®2000 Server sites and domains, domain controllers, global catalog servers, and Exchange2003 administrative and routing groups. The person who designed your Windows Server2003 or Windows2000 deployment may be less familiar with Exchange. Keep this in mind as you plan your Exchange2003 deployment, because you may need to fine-tune Windows for the new messaging system.
What Will You Learn from These Topics?
These topics provide conceptual and procedural information about the following:
Installing your first Exchange Server2003 computer into your organization (see Installing New Exchange 2003 Servers).
Upgrading your existing Exchange2000 native organization to Exchange Server2003 (see Upgrading from Exchange 2000 Server to Exchange Server 2003).
Installing your first Exchange Server2003 computer into your existing ExchangeServer version5.5 site, and migrate your mailbox data and public folder information to your Exchange Server2003 computer (see Migrating from Exchange Server 5.5 to Exchange Server 2003).
Using the Migration Wizard and Inter-Organization Replication Tool to move your mailbox and public folder data from one Exchange organization to another (see Inter-Organizational Migration to Exchange Server 2003).
Upgrading your mixed-mode Exchange2000 and Exchange5.5 organization to Exchange Server2003 (see Upgrading from Mixed Exchange 2000 and Exchange 5.5 Organizations).
Configuring your Exchange2003 organization to run under Microsoft Windows Clustering (see Deploying Exchange Server 2003 in a Cluster).
Configuring your client computers to use new Exchange features, including Cached Exchange Mode, Exchange ActiveSync® and Microsoft Outlook Mobile Access (see Configuring Exchange 2003 for Client Access).
Synchronizing multiple Exchange2003 forests, including how to synchronize the global address list (GAL), configure cross-forest mail flow, and use Migration Wizard to move users' mailboxes (see Synchronizing Multiple Exchange 2003 Forests).
Meeting deployment requirements for consolidating your remote Exchange sites, including information about using the Exchange Server Deployment Tools to help with your consolidation and instructions about how to remove your Exchange servers from a remote site (see Consolidating Sites in Exchange 2003).
