The Microsoft Certified Professional Program

Since the inception of its certification program, Microsoft has certified more than two million people As the computer network industry continues to increase in both size and complexity, this number is sure to grow—and the need for proven ability will also increase Certifications can help companies verify the skills of prospective employees and contractors

Microsoft has developed its Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) program to give you

credentials that verify your ability to work with Microsoft products effectively and professionally Several levels of certification are available based on specific suites of exams Microsoft has recently created a new generation of certification programs:

Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) The MCTS certification is considered

the entry-level certification for the new generation of Microsoft certifications The MCTS

certification program targets specific technologies instead of specific job roles You must take and pass one to three exams

Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) The MCITP certification is a Professional

series certification that tests network and systems administrators on job roles, rather than only

on a specific technology The MCITP generally consists of one to three exams, in addition to obtaining an MCTS-level certification

xx Introduction

Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD) The MCPD certification is a

Profes-sional series certification for application developers Similar to the MCITP, the MCPD is

focused on a job role rather than on a single technology The MCPD generally consists of one

to three exams, in addition to obtaining an MCTS-level certification

Microsoft Certified Architect (MCA) The MCA certification is Microsoft’s premier

certifi-cation series Obtaining the MCA requires a minimum of 10 years of experience and requires

the candidate to pass a review board consisting of peer architects

How Do You Become Certified on Exchange Server 2007?

Attaining a Microsoft certification has always been a challenge In the past, students have been

able to acquire detailed exam information—even most of the exam questions—from online

“brain dumps” and third-party “cram” books or software products For the new generation

of exams, this is simply not the case

Microsoft has taken strong steps to protect the security and integrity of its new certification

tracks Now prospective candidates must complete a course of study that develops detailed

knowledge about a wide range of topics It supplies them with the true skills needed, derived

from working with the technology being tested

The new generations of Microsoft certification programs are heavily weighted toward

hands-on skills and experience It is recommended that candidates have troubleshooting skills

acquired through hands-on experience and working knowledge

Fortunately, if you are willing to dedicate the time and effort to learn Exchange Server 2007,

you can prepare yourself well for the exam by using the proper tools By working through this

book, you can successfully meet the exam requirements to pass the Configuring Exchange Server

2007 exam

This book is part of a complete series of Microsoft certification study guides, published

by Sybex, that together cover the new MCTS, MCITP, and MCPD exams, as well as the

core MCSA and MCSE operating system requirements Please visit the Sybex website at

www.sybex.com for complete program and product details

MCTS Exam Requirements

Candidates for MCTS certification on Exchange Server 2007 must pass one Exchange

Server 2007 exam Other MCTS certifications may require up to three exams For a more

detailed description of the Microsoft certification programs, including a list of all the exams,

The Configuring Exchange Server 2007 Exam

The Configuring Exchange Server 2007 exam covers concepts and skills related to installing,

configuring, and managing Exchange Server 2007 in the enterprise It emphasizes the

follow-ing elements of Exchange Server 2007 support and administration:

 Installing and configuring Microsoft Exchange servers

 Configuring recipients and public folders

 Configuring the Exchange infrastructure

Introduction xxi

 Monitoring and reporting

 Configuring disaster recovery

This exam is quite specific regarding Exchange Server 2007 requirements and operational

set-tings, and it can be particular about how administrative tasks are performed within the operating

system It also focuses on fundamental concepts of Exchange Server 2007 operation Careful study

of this book, along with hands-on experience, will help you prepare for this exam

Microsoft provides exam objectives to give you a general overview of sible areas of coverage on the Microsoft exams Keep in mind, however, that exam objectives are subject to change at any time without prior notice and at Microsoft’s sole discretion Please visit the Microsoft Learning web- site (www.microsoft.com/learning) for the most current listing of exam objectives.

pos-Types of Exam Questions

In an effort to both refine the testing process and protect the quality of its certifications, Microsoft

has focused its newer certification exams on real experience and hands-on proficiency There is

a greater emphasis on your past working environments and responsibilities and less emphasis

on how well you can memorize In fact, Microsoft says that certification candidates should have

hands-on experience before attempting to pass any certification exams

Microsoft will accomplish its goal of protecting the exams’ integrity by regularly adding and removing exam questions, limiting the number of questions that any individual sees in a beta exam, limiting the number

of questions delivered to an individual by using adaptive testing, and ing new exam elements.

add-Exam questions may be in a variety of formats: depending on which exam you take, you’ll see

multiple-choice questions, as well as select-and-place and prioritize-a-list questions Simulations

and case study–based formats are included as well You may also find yourself taking what’s

called an adaptive format exam Let’s take a look at the types of exam questions and examine

the adaptive testing technique, so you’ll be prepared for all of the possibilities

With the release of Windows 2000, Microsoft stopped providing a detailed score breakdown This is mostly because of the various and complex question formats Previously, each question focused on one objective Recent exams, such as the Configuring Exchange Server 2007 exam, however, contain ques- tions that may be tied to one or more objectives from one or more objective sets Therefore, grading by objective is almost impossible Also, Microsoft no longer offers a score Now you will be told only whether you pass or fail.

Multiple-Choice Questions

Multiple-choice questions come in two main forms One is a straightforward question lowed by several possible answers, of which one or more is correct The other type of multiple-choice question is more complex and based on a specific scenario The scenario may focus on several areas or objectives

A typical diagram will show computers and other components next to boxes that contain

the text Place here The labels for the boxes represent various computer roles on a network,

such as a print server and a file server Based on information given for each computer, you are

asked to select each label and place it in the correct box You need to place all the labels

cor-rectly No credit is given for the question if you correctly label only some of the boxes

In another select-and-place problem, you might be asked to put a series of steps in order by dragging items from boxes on the left to boxes on the right and placing them in the correct order One other type requires that you drag an item from the left and place it under an item

in a column on the right

For more information about the various exam question types, go to www.microsoft.com/learning/mcpexams/policies/innovations.asp.

as shown in this example

Because of the number of possible errors that can be made on simulations, be sure to sider the following recommendations from Microsoft:

con- Do not change any simulation settings that don’t pertain to the solution directly

 When related information has not been provided, assume that the default settings are used

 Make sure your entries are spelled correctly.

 Close all the simulation application windows after completing the set of tasks in the simulation

Case Study–Based Questions

Case study–based questions first appeared in the MCSD program These questions present

a scenario with a range of requirements Based on the information provided, you answer a series of multiple-choice and select-and-place questions The interface for case study–based questions has a number of tabs, each of which contains information about the scenario Currently, this type of question appears only in the Design exams

Exam Question Development

Microsoft follows an exam-development process consisting of eight mandatory phases The process takes an average of seven months and involves more than 150 specific steps The exam development consists of the following phases:

Phase 1: Job Analysis Phase 1 is an analysis of all the tasks that make up a specific job

func-tion, based on tasks performed by people who are currently performing that job function This phase also identifies the knowledge, skills, and abilities that relate specifically to the perfor-mance area to be certified

Phase 2: Objective Domain Definition The results of the job analysis provide the framework

used to develop objectives The development of objectives involves translating the job-function tasks into a comprehensive set of more specific and measurable knowledge, skills, and abilities

The resulting list of objectives—the objective domain—is the basis for the development of both

the certification exams and the training materials

Phase 3: Blueprint Survey The final objective domain is transformed into a blueprint survey

in which contributors are asked to rate each objective These contributors may be past MCP candidates, appropriately skilled exam development volunteers, or Microsoft employees Based on the contributors’ input, the objectives are prioritized and weighted The actual exam items are written according to the prioritized objectives Contributors are queried about how they spend their time on the job If a contributor doesn’t spend an adequate amount of time actually performing the specified job function, his or her data is eliminated from the analysis The blueprint survey phase helps determine which objectives to measure, as well as the appro-priate number and types of items to include on the exam

Phase 4: Item Development A pool of items is developed to measure the blueprinted objective domain The number and types of items to be written are based on the results

of the blueprint survey

Phase 5: Alpha Review and Item Revision During this phase, a panel of technical and

job-function experts reviews each item for technical accuracy and then answers each item, ing a consensus on all technical issues Once the items have been verified as technically accu-rate, they are edited to ensure that they are expressed in the clearest language possible

reach-Phase 6: Beta Exam The reviewed and edited items are collected into beta exams Based on

the responses of all beta participants, Microsoft performs a statistical analysis to verify the validity of the exam items and to determine which items will be used in the certification exam Once the analysis has been completed, the items are distributed into multiple parallel forms,

or versions, of the final certification exam.

Phase 7: Item Selection and Cut-Score Setting The results of the beta exams are analyzed to

determine which items should be included in the certification exam based on many factors, including item difficulty and relevance During this phase, a panel of job-function experts deter-

mines the cut score (minimum passing score) for the exams The cut score differs from exam to

exam because it is based on an item-by-item determination of the percentage of candidates who answered the item correctly and who would be expected to answer the item correctly

Phase 8: Live Exam As the final phase, the exams are given to candidates MCP exams are

administered by Sylvan Prometric and Virtual University Enterprises (VUE)

Microsoft will regularly add and remove questions from the exams This is

called item seeding It is part of the effort to make it more difficult for

individ-uals to merely memorize exam questions that were passed along by previous test-takers.

Tips for Taking the Exchange Server 2007 Configuration Exam

Here are some general tips for achieving success on your certification exam:

 Arrive early at the exam center so you can relax and review your study materials During this final review, you can look over tables and lists of exam-related information

 Read the questions carefully Don’t be tempted to jump to an early conclusion Make sure

you know exactly what the question is asking.

 Answer all questions If you are unsure about a question, then mark the question for review and come back to the question at a later time

 On simulations, do not change settings that are not directly related to the question Also, assume default settings if the question does not specify or imply which settings are used

 For questions you’re not sure about, use a process of elimination to get rid of the ously incorrect answers first This improves your odds of selecting the correct answer when you need to make an educated guess

obvi- Answer all questions

Glossary Throughout each chapter, you will be introduced to important terms and concepts

that you will need to know for the exam These terms appear in italic within the chapters, and

at the end of the book, a detailed glossary defines these terms, as well as other general terms you should know

Review questions, complete with detailed explanations Each chapter is followed by a set of

review questions that test what you learned in the chapter The questions are written with the exam in mind, meaning they are designed to have the same look and feel as what you’ll see on the exam Question types are just like the exam, including multiple-choice questions, exhibits, and select-and-place questions

Hands-on exercises In each chapter, you’ll find exercises designed to give you the important

hands-on experience that is critical for your exam preparation The exercises support the topics

of the chapter, and they walk you through the steps necessary to perform a particular function

Real-world scenarios Because reading a book isn’t enough for you to learn how to apply

these topics in your everyday duties, we have provided real-world scenarios in special sidebars These explain when and why a particular solution would make sense, in a working environ-ment you’d actually encounter

devel-Hardware and Software Requirements

You should verify that your computer meets the minimum requirements for installing Exchange Server 2007 as listed in Tables 2.2 through 2.6 in Chapter 2 We suggest that your computer meets or exceeds the recommended requirements for a more enjoyable experience.The exercises in this book assume, in every chapter except Chapter 8, that you have performed

a clean installation of Exchange Server 2007 into an empty forest Chapter 8 assumes you have Exchange Server 2003 in your organization before installing Exchange Server 2007 Neither of these assumptions, if not met, should impact your ability to perform the exercises, though

Exchange Server

2007 and Active Directory Review

68199.book Page 1 Friday, August 10, 2007 3:39 PM

Perhaps the most abused, and overused, phrase in information technology is “new and improved” or “new features that increase productivity” or something similar With Exchange Server 2007, Microsoft really has every right to make those claims, and many more Although Exchange Server is now more than 10 years old, it keeps growing and evolving, partly because

of customer demands and partly because Microsoft continues to push messaging to places it has yet to go When you get your Exchange Server 2007 environment deployed, you will have the most robust and feature-laden messaging platform available today at your disposal Since the primary goal of this book is to prepare you to pass the corresponding 70-236 exam, we’ll spend most of our time together ensuring that you get the required knowledge and skills to help achieve that goal Along the way, we might all learn a new thing or two and start

to see just how many ways that Exchange Server 2007 can and will change the way Exchange administrators and Exchange users work

We’ll start this chapter by looking at what’s new in Exchange Server 2007 as compared to previous versions As part of that examination, we will cover what is no longer included in or supported by Exchange Server 2007 This will lead into later chapters in the book where you’ll dig deeper into key concepts and core skills that will prove to be important in your day-to-day administration of Exchange Server 2007 and of course important to you on exam day.We’ll next briefly review Active Directory in Windows Server 2003 Active Directory has been a critical part of Exchange Server since Exchange 2000 Server was released This importance grew in Exchange Server 2003, and now with the elimination of link-state routing groups (oops, there’s the first removed feature for our discussion), Active Directory site-based routing is used for message transport within an organization Of course, Active Directory is still critical for elements such as user accounts, groups, and global catalog servers

This chapter provides you with a good conceptual background of the topics covered in the remainder of the book Specifically, we will address the following issues:

 What is new and what has been removed in Exchange Server 2007

 Active Directory in Windows Server 2003 and its integration with Exchange Server 2007

What’s New in Exchange Server 2007?With any new release of an established product like Exchange Server, Microsoft includes new (and improved) features that benefit both the administrative side of the product and the end-user
