Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 – Design, Deployment and Migration

Exchange Server 2013 delivers a number of new features as well as improvements on existing features that are already familiar to those who have worked with Exchange Server 2010.

Here are a few of the highlights:

  • Reduction in server roles from five to three; Client Access server, Mailbox server, and Edge Transport server.
  • New streamlined Outlook 2013 and Outlook Web App user interfaces, and offline access for OWA.
  • No more Exchange Management Console, all administration is now performed using the new web-based Exchange Administration Center and the Exchange Management Shell (using PowerShell 3.0).
  • Improvements to high availability features and manageability.
  • Public folders are now stored in mailbox databases and can take advantage of Database Availability Groups for replication and high availability.
  • Data loss prevention capabilities that can be integrated into Transport Rules
