What Is Exchange Server?

Published: June 8, 2004

Exchange Server, the Microsoft messaging and collaboration server, is software that runs on servers that enables you to send and receive electronic mail and other forms of interactive communication through computer networks. Designed to inter operate with a software client application such as Microsoft Outlook, Exchange Server also inter operates with Outlook Express and other e-mail client applications.

Meet the requirements for small and large organizations and get easy administration, support, and reliability with Exchange Server. Readily available deployment and support tools also make Exchange Server easy to manage.

E-mail messages are sent and received through what is commonly referred to as a client device such as a personal computer, workstation, or a mobile device including mobile phones or Pocket PCs. The client typically connects to a network of centralized computer systems comprised of servers or mainframe computers where the e-mail mailboxes are stored. The centralized e-mail servers connect to the Internet and private networks where e-mail messages are sent to and received from other e-mail users.

Client access functionality.

Exchange Server offers you integrated collaborative messaging features such as scheduling, contact, and task management capabilities. Exchange Server 2003 runs on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows 2000 Server operating systems. Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 runs on Windows-based computers and communicates with the server running Exchange Server through the MAPI protocol that includes powerful messaging and rich collaboration capabilities. Exchange Server also accommodates other client access through its support for Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) and Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) protocols as well as support for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Microsoft Outlook Web Access, a service in Exchange Server, accommodates what are known as thin clients (Web browser–based access clients).

Mobile access functionality.

Exchange Server 2003 supports mobile devices such as Pocket PC and Smart phones and enables you to synchronize your Inbox, Calendar, and Contacts and Tasks lists so you can remotely check your appointments and other important information. Mobile device browsers are also supported through Exchange Outlook Mobile Access, which enables HTML, compressed HTML (CHTML), and Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) browser–based devices to access Exchange Server. The following diagram illustrates the types of clients that Exchange Server supports:

The Exchange Server collaboration features help you to share information quickly and efficiently. Typical collaborative scenarios include maintaining shared address lists that everyone can view and edit, scheduling meetings that include people and conference rooms by viewing associated free or busy schedules, the ability to grant other people, such as administrators, access to your mailbox on your behalf. You can also manage "rules" for processing messages on Exchange Server, giving you the flexibility to create auto-responses and automatic filing of incoming messages. For maximum collaboration productivity, choose the combination of Exchange Server 2003 and Outlook 2003.

What is ASP.NET?

ASP.NET is a technology for creating dynamic Web applications. It is part of the .NET Framework; you can author ASP.NET applications in most .NET compatible languages, including Visual Basic, C#, and J#. ASP.NET pages (Web Forms) are compiled, providing better performance than with scripting languages. Web Forms allow you to build powerful forms-based Web pages. When building these pages, you can use ASP.NET server controls to create common UI elements, and program them for common tasks. These controls allow you to rapidly build a Web Form out of reusable built-in or custom components, simplifying the code of a page.

ASP.NET provides a programming model, and infrastructure, to make creating scalable, secure and stable applications faster, and easier than with previous Web technologies.
For more details on ASP.NET, see this article.

What is the .NET Framework and Visual Studio?

Developers sometimes wonder what the .NET Framework and Visual Studio is and how it relates to ASP.NET.

The .NET Framework is a development and execution environment that allows different programming languages & libraries to work together seamlessly to create Windows, Web, or Mobile applications that are easier to build, manage, deploy, and integrate with other networked systems or as stand alone applications.

The .NET Framework consists of:
The Common Language Runtime (CLR)
A language-neutral development & execution environment that provides services to help "manage" application execution
The Framework Class Libraries (FCL)

A consistent, object-oriented library of pre-packaged functionality

Visual Studio is the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that developers work inside when creating programs in one of many languages, including Visual Basic, for the .NET Framework.

How Do I Get ASP.NET?
