Materials and Preparation
This section provides the materials and preparation tasks that you need to teach
this module.
Required Materials
To teach this module, you need the following materials:
!"
Microsoft PowerPoint
®
file 1573A_01.ppt
!"
The Northwind Traders Case Study
!"
The Fourth Coffee Case Study
!"
The job aids used in this course

Preparation Tasks
To prepare for this module, you should:
!"
Read all of the materials for this module.
!"
Complete the lab.
!"
Review the Northwind Traders Case Study.
!"
Review the Fourth Coffee Case Study.

!"
Using the Case Studies in This Course
Explain that two organizational case studies are used to facilitate
discussions pertaining to the content found in both the workbook and the
labs and that the students’ goal is to ensure that the business and information
technology (IT) goals of the two companies are met.
!"
Using the Job Aids in This Course
Explain that the job aids, in conjunction with the case studies, are used to
make design decisions during the labs and discussions; and explain that the
job aids for this course include decision trees, a Web-based calculator, a
table, and a change request form.
!"
Performing the Labs in This Course
Explain that the labs (except for module 1) are structured so that the student
first reads the case study, then applies the applicable job aid to perform the
design, and finally implements the design during the hands-on lab.
!"
Classroom Setup
Explain that the classroom is set up as a single forest that has multiple child
domains. Describe the computers, roles, and domains that have been
configured in the classroom.

Before designing a Microsoft
®
Exchange 2000 organization for the enterprise,
you must be aware of the administrative and business goals of the company, the
benefits that an Exchange 2000 organization can provide, and the elements
necessary to design a cohesive and manageable plan.
After completing this module, you will be able to:
!"
Identify and describe the basic steps that must be taken in designing an
Exchange 2000 organization.
!"
Explain how the case studies will be used in this course.

Topic Objective
To provide an overview of
the module topics and
objectives.
Lead-in
In this module, you will learn
about the basic features and
functions of Exchange 2000
and the high-level tasks that
must be performed to

process by building a model of how users, administrators, and servers will
interact with Exchange 2000. This process involves designing an administrative
plan, a routing topology, a public folder strategy, a security strategy, and then
determining server roles and placement. The final step in the design process is
designing a management and operations plan.
Topic Objective
To provide an overview of
the Exchange 2000 design
process.
Lead-in
Designing Exchange 2000
involves choosing the
appropriate Exchange 2000
product, determining how
the Active Directory design
affects an Exchange 2000
environment, and designing
an administrative plan as
well as a management and
operations plan.

Microsoft Exchange 2000 Conferencing Server
Exchange 2000 Conferencing Server is designed for companies of any size that
need to organize and manage voice, data, and video conferencing regardless of
where the people using these technologies are located. Exchange 2000
Conferencing Server is sold separately, and is used in conjunction with either
Exchange 2000 Server or Exchange 2000 Enterprise Server.
Data conferencing enables administrators to arrange electronic conferences,
manage schedules, share applications, and use multicast video conferencing. By
using a T.120 client application such as Microsoft NetMeeting
®
, geographically
separated participants in an electronic conference can view and alter multimedia
materials simultaneously. Of these three Exchange 2000 products, only
Exchange 2000 Conferencing Server provides data, voice, and video
conferencing.
