ends on April 8, 2014.

 Exchange Server 2007

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 is the next version of Microsoft Exchange. Microsoft
Exchange is the industrys leading E-Mail, Calendaring, and Unified Messaging Server. The
release of Exchange Server 2007 is closely aligned with the 2007 Microsoft Office release.
Together, these products deliver a best-in-class enterprise messaging and collaboration
solution.
Exchange 2007 introduces a new concept to Exchange organizations, the concept of
Server Roles.

Features of Exchange Server 2007

It Runs at 64-bit More Memory and Large cache.

Large, Low-Cost Mailboxes with 64-Bit
Reduce I/O per sec required by 70 percent
A quarter of the disk
Four times more users
Larger inboxes

High Availability at Lower Cost

Reduce impact of backup operations
Dumpster interval increased

Exchange 2007 RTM and Exchange 2007 SP1 includes the following built-in features
that can provide quick recovery, high availability, and site resilience for Exchange 2007
Mailbox servers:

Local Continuous Replication (LCR) - LCR is a single-server solution that uses built-in
asynchronous log shipping technology to create and maintain a copy of a storage group
on a second set of disks that are connected to the same server as the production storage
group. LCR provides log shipping, log replay, and a quick manual switch to a secondary
copy of the data.
LCR is designed to reduce the total cost of ownership for Microsoft Exchange
Server 2007 by:
Reducing the recovery time for data-level disasters by enabling a quick
switch to a second online copy of the data.

Reducing the number of regular full backups that are required for data
protection. Data backups are critical to have when a disaster strikes. Although
LCR does not eliminate the need to take backups, it does significantly reduce the
need to take regular, daily full backups.

Enabling you to offload Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) backups from
the active copy of a storage group to the passive copy of the storage group. All four
VSS backup types (full, copy, incremental, and differential) can be taken from the
passive copy., Offloading the backups from the active copy to the passive copy

preserves valuable disk input/output (I/O) on the active copy's logical unit numbers
(LUNs).

Cluster Continuous Replication (CCR) - CCR, which is a non-shared storage failover

cluster solution, is one of two types of clustered mailbox server (CMS) deployments
available in Exchange 2007. CCR is a clustered solution (referred to as a CCR
environment) that uses built-in asynchronous log shipping technology to create and
maintain a copy of each storage group on a second server in a failover cluster. CCR is
designed to be either a one or two data center solution, providing both high availability
and site resilience. CCR is very different from clustering in previous versions of Exchange
Server.

CCR is designed to provide high availability for Exchange 2007 Mailbox servers
by providing a solution that:

Has no single point of failure.

Has no special hardware requirements.

Has no shared storage requirements.

Can be deployed in one or two datacenter configurations.

Can reduce full backup frequency, reduce total backed up data volume, and shorten the
service level agreement (SLA) for recovery time from first failure.
The Key Facts about CCR are as follows:

Continuous replication is asynchronous Logs are not copied until they are closed
and no longer in use by the Mailbox server. This means that the passive node usually
does not have a copy of every log file that exists on the active node.

Continuous replication places almost no CPU and input/output (I/O) load on the
active node during normal operation CCR uses the passive node to copy and replay
the logs. Logs are accessed by the passive node via a secured file share.

Active and passive node changes over the lifetime of the cluster are designated
automatically For example, after a failover, the active and passive designation
reverses. This means the direction of replication reverses. No administrative action is
required to reverse the replication. The system manages the replication reversal
automatically.

Failover and scheduled outages are symmetric in function and performance For
example, it takes just as long to fail over from Node1 to Node2 as it does to fail over from
Node2 to Node1. Typically, this would be under two minutes. On larger servers, scheduled
outages typically would be less than four minutes. The time difference between a failover
and scheduled outages is associated with the time it takes to do a controlled shutdown of

the active node on a scheduled outage. This performance difference may be reduced in a
future service pack.

Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) backups on the passive node are
supported This allows administrators to offload backups from the active node and
extend the backup window. For example, the active node has to respond to client
requests in a timely way. A longer backup window can be used, because the passive node
has no real-time response constraints, thereby allowing for larger databases and larger
mailbox sizes.

Total data on backup media is reduced The CCR passive copy provides the first line
of defense against corruption and data loss. Thus, a double failure is required before
backups are needed. Recovery from the first failure can have a relatively short SLA
because no restore is required. Recovery from the second failure can have a much longer
SLA. As a result, backups can be done on a weekly full cycle with a daily incremental
backup strategy. This reduces the total volume of data that must be placed on the backup
media.

CCR can be combined with standby continuous replication (SCR) CCR can be
combined with SCR to replicate storage groups locally in a primary data center (using
CCR for high availability) and remotely in a secondary or backup datacenter (using SCR
for site resilience). The secondary datacenter could contain a passive node in a failover
cluster that hosts the SCR targets. This type of cluster is called a standby cluster
because it does not contain any clustered mailbox servers, but it can be quickly
provisioned with a replacement clustered mailbox server in a recovery scenario.

CCR Core Architecture combines the following elements:

Failover and virtualization features provided by Microsoft failover clusters

A majority-based failover cluster quorum model that uses a file share as a witness for
cluster activity

Transaction log replication and replay features in Exchange 2007

Message queue feature of the Hub Transport server called the transport dumpster

AutoDiscover It service uses a user's e-mail address or domain account to

automatically configure the user's profile. By using the e-mail address or domain
account, the Auto discover service provides the following information to the client
computer that is running Outlook 2007:
The users display name.
Separate connection settings for internal and external connectivity.
The location of the users Exchange 2007 server that has the Mailbox server
role installed.

 The URLs for Exchange features such as free/busy information, UM, and the
OAB.
Outlook Anywhere server settings. Outlook Anywhere was formerly known as
RPC over HTTP.
How the Auto Discover Service Works
When you install the Client Access server role on a computer that is running Exchange
2007, a new virtual directory named Auto discover is created under the default Web site
in Internet Information Services (IIS). This virtual directory handles Auto discover service
requests from Outlook 2007 clients and supported mobile devices in the following
circumstances:

When a new user account is configured or updated.

When a user periodically checks for changes to the Exchange Web Services URLs.

When underlying network connection changes occur in your Exchange messaging

environment.

Miscellaneous Features- includes Auto-Complete, Conversation View, Fast search,

Notifications

The End of Support Exchange Server 2007

Basically, main-line support for Exchange 2007 with no service packs is

over with. MS continues to provide main-line support for installations with more
recent service packs for 5 years after the service pack is introduced. After that, they
enter extended support, where you can get security updates and whatnot, but there
will be no further changes to that particular version of the Software. Exchange 2007
SP3 was released in June 2010, and is likely the last service pack for Exchange
2007, so main line support for the product will continue until June 2015. It will still
be possible to get some support from Microsoft for Exchange 2007 SP3 until 2020,
but only if you pay for it. After that, no support will be available other than selfhelp from online sources. Exchange 2003 is EOL (meaning no more support
whatsoever) in 2015. But is already off of Mainstream support for all service packs,
but 2007 still has a few good years left in it.
