Introduction to
features no longer supported in Exchange 2003
All real-time features have been removed from Exchange 2003. Either there is a separate product, for
Example Conference Server, or there is a new way of doing it, for example OMA.
Topics for features no longer supported in Exchange 2003
♠
The Exchange store is accessed at \\.\BackOfficeStorage\mail.namespace.
In previous versions of Exchange this store has been mapped to the M: drive.
The idea of the M: drive mapping was to give you file system access to the
Exchange store.
The M: drive is disabled, in Exchange 2003. However, you can still use
the file system to interact with the Exchange store, just enter the path using
the \\.\BackOfficeStorage\ namespace. For instance, to see the contents of
the mailbox store on an Exchange server in the mail.cp.com domain, go to the
command prompt: dir \\.\BackOfficeStorage\mail.cp.com\mbx (Type)
Microsoft have removed the M: drive mapping is because, the mailbox store
could become corrupted from virus scanning of the M: drive. Trying to
backup the M: drive would also cause problems.
Guy Recommends: SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset v10
The Engineer's Toolset v10 provides a
comprehensive console of utilities for troubleshooting computer problems. Guy says
it helps me monitor what's occurring on the network, and the tools
teaches me more about how the system literally operates.
There are so many good gadgets, it's like having free rein of a
sweetshop. Thankfully the utilities are displayed logically: monitoring, discovery, diagnostic, and Cisco tools.

- Instant Chat, Conference Server and Instant Messenger. There are
rumours that these services will be catered for in a new collaboration server -
code name Greenwich.
- Key Management Server support has changed. In Exchange 2003, Windows Server 2003's certificate service takes of this encryption role.
- Connectors for Lotus Mail and ccMail
- Be careful with OMA (Outlook Mobile Service) you need to remove MMIS from Exchange 2000 as this method of mobile access is no longer supported.
