Planning an Upgrade to Exchange Server 2007

It is true that the transition process itself is the same for an Exchange Server 2003 or an Exchange 2000 Server organization. But there are features from Exchange 2000 Server and Exchange Server 2003 that are not supported anymore in Exchange Server 2007. If you decide to transition to Exchange Server 2007, you will need to plan a solution for all features that do not exist anymore in Exchange Server 2007. In this chapter we will dig into all those features, and we will have a look at the best way to transition your Exchange 2000 Server or Exchange Server 2003 organization to Exchange Server 2007.

The main subjects in this chapter are as follows:
