Exchange Server 2003

[just_do_IT]

If anyone can give me some guidance on the following it would be greatly appreciated.

I am implementing an online testing platform at my school. I have successfully installed the software. The software runs smoothly as an internal web.

Now I am thinking of installing exchange server to run an internal email system as well as an internal personal messenger system.

Has anyone ever done this, if so, is there anything you can tell me about in advance that may cause me grief? Issues etc.

Also, any decent links to white papers (I am not particular to MS white paper docs) would be very much appreciated. For example, a recommended book would be great!

If you ever installed Exchange 2000, you already know everything you need to know.

I installed Exchange 2003 on both an Win2K and Win2K3 servers, and the installation and maintenance of the 2003 is no different from the 2000 version. New features like OMA is enabled by default, and I can connect, although I couldn't test it since my cellphone doesn't support WAP 2.0.
/me love the new OWA, it like 10 times faster then the 2K version, and looks and feels much more like a regular Outlook.

The instant messaging system isn't included with (my) 2003, I'm looking for a way to implement the 2002 version. I'll let you know in this thread how things work out, also on the new functionality between Exhc2K3 and Outlook 11.

If you have any specific questions let me know, I might be able to answer them.

Anyone with a WAP 2.0 phone in here that wants to test the OMA site? Or anyone who knows a WAP 2.0 emulation program for Windows?
