Each Microsoft Exchange Server design or implementation will be specific to customer requirements, and will take account of business drivers, budget, aversion to risk, dependence on technology and a myriad of other factors

Microsoft Exchange expertise from Cheddon Consulting

At Cheddon Consulting we don’t have any pre-conceived ideas about how things should be done, and we don’t make you do things our way. Your solution may involve simple enhancements to a single existing Microsoft Exchange server, or it may involve migration to a new, highly complex and highly secure multi-node Exchange server cluster. We give each customer, each project and each job the same attention regardless of size or complexity.

 

Whether you're looking for help with a migration from an earlier release of Exchange, another email service, or are looking for a completely new implementation, perhaps looking to customize Outlook Web Access, Cheddon Consulting can help guide you through the options and work with you to implement a solution that's right for your business.

Regardless of the source e-mail system, the migration technology, the number of mailboxes, or the level of existing infrastructure, any migration to Microsoft Exchange can be broken down into three key stages:

Provision User Objects
Microsoft Exchange mailbox access is granted or denied based on a user account with a unique security identifier or SID. Choices made regarding this user account will impact migration, co-existence, and transparency to the users community.

Synchronise Directories
During co-existence or integration of any two e-mail systems the two directories must remain synchronised so that users on either system can send and receive mail.

Migrate Data
Finally questions must be answered over how much historical data including mailbox messages, calendar appointments, and other data to migrate.

For any new or existing Exchange Server deployment there are many additional modifications that can be made many of which are not available out of the box. The provision of a fully featured e-mail system requires attention be given to the areas of availability, security, connectivity and disaster recovery.
