Course: MS5047 Introduction to Installing and Managing Microsoft Exchange Server 2007

This course has been extended from three to five days to enable delegates to gain the most benefit and skills from the experience that the instructors have gained in Exchange Server 2007. The course will enable delegates to learn how to make the most of the new technologies which are needed to optimise the installation and management of Exchange Server 2007. By providing more time to learn the technology in the course, delegates will be more effective when returning to their production environments.
