This seminar, led by world renowned author and public speaker on Microsoft Exchange, Rand Morimoto, shares tips, tricks, best practices, and lessons learned from dozens of migrations to Exchange 2007 in early adopter (beta) migrations completed this past year, long before Exchange 2007 was released to the public.

Rand and the consultants in his company have been working with Exchange 2007 in early adopter environments for the past 2-1/2 years and have amassed a wealth of information on how to architect, plan, and successfully migrate organizations to the new messaging platform.

Some of the things Rand shares in this seminar include:

• Recommendations for architecting an optimum Exchange 2007 environment (need for fewer backend servers, removal of the “front-end” server role, addition of a continuous backup server for mailbox redundancy, more RAM memory and less DISK storage requirements, etc)
• Best practices at planning your migration with the least (or no) impact on users (pretty much a drag/drop migration between old and new servers, with some preparatory things to simplify the process)
• Where Outlook 2007 fits in to the “benefits” of migrating to Exchange 2007 (old versions of Outlook still work fine, new Outlook 2007 adds even more functionality)
• Highlights of the top features and functions of Exchange 2007 broken down into new backend server reliability features, new administrative features, new enhancements available to users, better regulatory compliance functionality, and significant improvements in mobile device support
• What you can do now in your Windows Active Directory and Exchange 2000/2003 environment to prepare for your migration to Exchange 2007
• What benefits organizations have received after completing their migrations, and how they have been able to justify their migration efforts in just a few months of having gone live with Exchange 2007
