Part I: An Overview of Exchange Server 2007
Administration tool updates
SP1 includes some additional administration tool features. Microsoft has
provided updates for Exchange Management Console (Chapter 3), Exchange
Management Shell (Chapter 12), and Public Folder Management Console
(Chapter 5). See the appropriate chapter for a full discussion of these changes.
Choosing the Correct Edition
for Your Needs
Exchange Server 2007 comes in two editions: Standard and Enterprise. The
Standard version is usually more suited to the needs of a small organization,
while the Enterprise edition is usually more suited to the needs of a large
organization. However, you need to consider how you interact with Exchange
Server before you make a buying decision based solely on organization size.
A small organization of highly mobile consultants may require the Enterprise
edition to obtain the advanced features it provides. Likewise, a middle-sized
company of accountants who rarely leave the office may not require the
fancy features provided by the Enterprise edition; the Standard edition may
work fine in this situation. Table 1-2 provides a list of differences between the
two editions.
