Exchange Server 2010 SP1: Message Transport

Overview/Description
The SMTP protocol is the primary protocol used to relay e-mail messages between servers on the Internet. Since most e-mail systems are connected to the Internet, it is important to understand how SMTP is configured in Exchange Server 2010. This course discusses the implementation of send and receive SMTP connectors on Hub Transport servers and Edge Transport servers. Also covered in this course are Transport Server management tasks such as configuring accepted, authoritative and remote Domains as well as modifying transport properties.

Target Audience
Systems administrators, systems engineers, systems analysts, IT consultants, and support professionals with responsibility for planning, implementing, and maintaining Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 SP1; learners preparing for the MCTS and MCITP certification exams. A working knowledge of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and a working knowledge of networking, including TCP/IP, DNS, and IIS, and an understanding of Internet protocols, such as POP3, IMAP4, SMTP, and HTTP may be beneficial.
