Exchange 2010 Interview Question and Answer
http://aslamkader.com/wp-content/uploads/Exchange-2010-Interview-Question-and-
Answer.pdf
What is Storage Group?
Storage Group is a grouping of Mailbox and/or Public Folder Databases, which shares a
single backup schedule anda

single set of Transaction log files. Storage Groups are managed using their separate server
process and theidea behind splitting databases up in Storage Groups is primarily to reduce the
overhead that results from multiplesets of

transaction log files.


What are the storage group and database size limitations in Exchange 2007, comparedwith Exchange 2003?
Exchange Server 2003 Standard edition supported 1Storage Group and 2 Stores
-
one Mailbox and one PublicFolder Store (when excluding the Recovery Storage Group of
course). Exchange Server 2003 Enterprise Editionsupported a total of 4 Storage Groups each
containing a maximum of 5 store databases per Storage Groups (thusmaximum 20 databases
per server). The limit of a database size in Exchange Server 2003 Standard edition was16GB

(although raised to 75 GB when Exchange 2003 Service Pack 2 was applied). There was no
limit on adatabase size

when talking about Exchange Server 2003 Enterprise edition {well actually there is a
16Terabyte limitbut this limit is

caused by hardware).Exchange Server 2007 comes in two flavours, a standard edition and an
enterprise edition, just like previousversions

of Exchange. The Mailbox Server when talking about the Exchange Server 2007 Standard
edition supportsa total of 5

Storage Groups and 5 databases. Unlike Exchange 2003 and previous versions of Exchange
there's no longer a

database storage limit in the standard edition. The Mailbox server in the Exchange 2007
Enterprise edition supports

up to 50 Storage groups and a maximum of 50 databases per server. Exchange 2007 allows
you to create up to 5

databases in each Storage Group as is the case with Exchange 2003, but best practice is to
create 1database per

Storage Group. So why should you have a one to one relationship between storage groups
and databases? Well

primarily because you'll be up and running a lot faster considering disaster recovery
scenarios,etc.No Storage Groups In Exchange 2010.•• Exchange 2010 has only mailbox
databases and they are organizational objects in EMC. Mailbox databases no longer
connected to the server object they become *Peers•. Database management has also been
moved from Server configuration node in exchange console EMC. The mailbox databases

are placed in the Organization Configuration ->Mailbox location in the console rather than
the server level in

exchange 2007. The database names has to be unique through out the exchange organization
as well. This means

that we can't have duplicate mailbox database names like in 2007 (in different storage groups,
of
course). As there are no storage groups, this will also mean that the database will have its ow
n logs aswell...One of the goals of ESE in Exchange 2010 is to reduce the cost of maintaining
and managing a database. Database maintenance is comprised of several tasks that manage
and keep the integrity of your mailbox database.
Database maintenance Is divided Into thefollowing:
Store mailbox maintenance

ESE database maintenance


In Exchange 2007, ESE database maintenance was disk-intensive. In Exchange 2010,
improvements have beenmade

to increase performance. In Exchange 2010, on large or very heavy profile servers, the store
mailboxmaintenance

task only lasts approximately 45 minutes, while ESE database maintenance usually took from
six toeight hours per
night to complete on large Exchange 2007 databases (2 GB quotas). In
Exchange 2010, improvements have beenmade to support both large mailboxes as well as to
support JBOD storage and storage without the use of RAID.
Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 includes many improvements to the
Exchange databasearchitecture:

Public folder reporting has been enhanced.

Databases are no longer associated with storage groups. Storage groups have been removed.

Investments in store schema and Extensible Storage Engine
{ESE) optimizations have reduced lOPS by 70percent.
Describe the differences in the permission model between Exchange 2003 andExchange

2010.
Exchange 2003 Security and PermissionsModelTo help simplify management of
permissions, Exchange Server 2003 provided predefined security roles that wereavailable in
the Exchange 2003 Administrative Delegation Wizard. These roles were a collection of
standardizedpermissions that could be applied at either the organization or
the administrative group level.In Exchange 2003, the following security roles
were available through the Delegation Wizard in Exchange SystemManager:
Exchange Full Administrator Exchange Administrator
Exchange View Only Administrator
Thismodelhadthefollowinglimitations:
A lack of specificity. The Exchange Administrator group was too large, and some
customers wanted to manage their security and permissions model at the individual server-
level. A perception that the Exchange Server 2003 security roles only differed in subtleways.Th
ere was no clear separation between administration of users and groups by the
Windows (Active Directory)administrators and Exchange recipient
administrators. For example, to perform Exchange recipient related tasks, youhad to
grant Exchange administrators high level permissions (Account Operator permissions
on Windows domains).Exchange 2007 Security and PermissionsModelTo improve the
management of your Exchange administrator roles, which were called "security groups" in
Exchange2003, the following new or improved features have been made to the
Exchange security and permissions model:

New administrator roles that is similar to the built-in Windows Server securitygroups.You
canusetheExchangeManagementConsole(formerlyExchangeSystemManager)andtheExchangeManagement Shell
to view, add, and remove members from any administrator role.
What's New in Exchange Server 2007SPl?
You can install Exchange 2007 SPl on a computer that is running the
Windows Server 2008 operating systemImprovement in Microsoft Outlook Web
Access (OWA)Recover Deleted ItemsLocal Distribution ListS/MIME feature

What's New in Exchange Server 2007 SP2?
You can deploy Exchange Server 2010 in your organization once all of the
Client Access servers in your organization have been upgraded to
Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2).
Exchange 2007 Service Pack 2 includes a VSS plug-in for Windows Server Backup to
support Exchange backups. OnceSP2 is installed, you can use Windows Server Backup to
back up and restore your Exchange 2007 SP2 databases.
New Exchange auditing events and audit log repository enable Exchange administrators to
more easily audit theactivities occurring on their Exchange servers.
What's New in Exchange Server 2007 SP3?
Windows Server 2008 R2 SupportExchange Server 2007 SP3 supports all Exchange 2007 roles on
the Windows Server 2008 R2 operatingsystem.

Windows 7 SupportExchange 2007 SP3 supports the installation of the


Exchange 2007 management tools on a computer that is runningWindows 7.
Additionally, Exchange 2007 SP3 provides support for the installation of
the Exchange 2007Management Tools together with the
Exchange Server 2010 Management Tools on the same Windows 7-
basedcomputer.Improved Password Reset
FunctionalityExchange 2007 SP3 introduces password reset functionality for
Internet Information Services (liS)7. Updated Search FunctionalityExchange 2007 SP3
includes updates to the Exchange Search (MS-Search)component. Support for Right-to-
Left Disclaimer TextExchange 2007 SP3 includes support for Right-to-Left text in e-
mail message disclaimers in a right-to-left language,such as Arabic.
What are the major changes in
the way Exchange 2010 stores work? Name some of the
changes in comparison with Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007.
The following is a list of core store functionality that's included or has been changed in
Exchange 2010:


Deprecated storage groups

Mailbox databases no longer connected to the server object

Improvements in Extensible Storage Engine (ESE) for high availability, performance, and
database mobility

Flattened Outlook store schema

Enhanced reporting with public foldersIn
Exchange 2010, the store schema has been changed to
remove the dependency of mailbox databases onthe

server object. In addition, the new schema has been improved to help reduce database
1/0
persecond(lOPS) by refactoring the tables used to store information. Refactoring the
tables allows higher logical contiguityand locality of
reference. These changes reduce the store's reliance on the secondary indexes maintained by
ESE. As a result, thestore is no longer sensitive to performance issues related to the
secondary indexes.Store resilience and health has also been improved by adding
several features related to detecting and correctingerrors and providing alerts, such as the following:

Mailbox quarantine on rogue mailboxes
•Transport cut-off to databases with less than 1GB of space

Thread time-out detection and reporting

How would you check your Exchange configurationsettings to see if
they'rer i g h t ?
Run MicrosoftExchange Best Practices Analyzer tool.
Looking to install Exchange 2007 on Windows Server 2008. What SP version do
youn e e d ? And for R2?
ExchangeServer 2007 SPl required for installationon Windows Server 2008 and
ExchangeServer 2007 SP3 requiredfor Windows Server 2008 R2.
What's a Rollup Update? What's the latest RU for Exchange 2007-2010?
An update rollup is a tested, cumulative set of hotfixes, security updates, critical updates, and
updates that arepackaged together for easy deployment. A rollup generally targets a specific
area, such as security, or a componentof a
product. At the time of this writing, Update Rollup 4 for Exchange
Server 2007 Service Pack 2 and Update Rollup 10 for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack
1areavailable.
How can you easily integrate a RUin the Exchange 2007-
2010 installationmedia?
The Exchange installation folder includes an Updates folder. When you perform a new
Exchange installation, youcan

copy an update rollup to the Updates folder. In this scenario, the update rollup package is
applied duringthe
installation of Exchange. The Updates folder supports only new installation of Exchange
server.
Name a few reasons for using 64-bit hardware and OS version for Exchange 2007-2010.
64-bit hardware provides the system architecture that is required to support the increased
memory, storage, andenhanced security requirements in a more cost-effective manner. Trends
indicate that demands on messagingsystems will continue to grow and 64-bit servers provide
the system architecture to meet these demands whilereducing costs within organizations
through server and disk storage consolidations. With a larger addressablespace,

the Exchange servers can utilize more memory thereby reducing the required input/output per
user (lOPS),enabling the use of larger disks as well as low cost storage such as SATA2
drives.
Exchange2007 came in both 32-bitand 64-bit versions. Name a couple of
reasons for ever needing the 32-bit version.
You need exchange 2007 32bit to export mail box into PSTfile.
Wanting to manage Exchange 2007
-
2010 from a remote computer, name a few of your

managementoptions.
There are a few options for managing Exchange 2007 servers remotely. First
off,
you can install the Exchange 2007management tools onto a separate machine from
your Exchange server, as long as that machine is running either

the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1(SP1) or later, Windows
Server 2003 R2, or Windows XP SP2 or later. Note that installing any of the server roles
(client access, mailbox, edge, and so on) on32-

bit hardware is not supported in production environments, but is supported for installing the
management toolson a

32-bit machine. Also note that as of the initial release of Exchange Server 2007, the
management tools are notsupported on Windows Vista.In some organizations, the IT
department creates a single server to be the management server, installing all thenecessary
management tools for various products on this server. Then the administrators who need to
use thosetools access the management server via Terminal Server so they can perform remote
administration. In other settings, users install the management tools on their own
desktops.From the console or shell you can perform operations on the servers in your
organization. In the console, theservers

are visible so you can perform operations on any of them remotely. In the shell, many of the
tasks supporta filtering

flag like -server if you want to scope an operation to a single server. There are a few
exceptions,however, for

commands that must be run locally, such as the Get-NetworkConnectionlnfo command.


Whatis the GAL?
The Global Address List (GAL) also known as Microsoft Exchange Global Address Book is
a directory service withinthe Microsoft Exchange email system. The GAL contains
information for all email users, distribution groups, and
Exchangeresources.
What is the OAB? When is itu s e d ?
An Offline Address Book is a container that stores a collection of Offline Address Lists.
Outlook users can choosewhich offline address lists they want to download. Users who work
offline connect to Exchange Server computersand download Offline Address Lists to obtain
information about other users in their organization.When an Administrator creates an Offline
Address Book, the address list will be converted to a separate set of filesand stored in an
Exchange Public Folder. Offline Address Books typically contain at least one address list
thatrepresents the global address list (GAL). Users who are working offline with their
Outlook clients can use this globaladdress while they are on the road.
What is PowerShell andwhy do we care?
Windows PowerShell is a task-based command-line shell and scripting language designed
especially for systemadministration. Built on the .NET Framework, Windows PowerShell
helps IT professionals and power users controland automate the administration of the
Windows operating system and applications that run on Windows. Built-inWindows
PowerShell commands, called cmdlets, let you manage the computers in your enterprise
from thecommand line.The Exchange Management Shell, built on Windows PowerShell
technology, provides a powerful command-lineinterface for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010
that enables automation of administrative tasks. With the Shell, youcan manage every aspect
of Exchange. You can enable new e-mail accounts, configure SMTP connectors,
storedatabase properties, store transport agents, and more. The Shell can perform every task
that can be performed bythe Exchange Management Console and the Exchange Web
interface in addition to tasks that can't be performed inthose interfaces. In fact, when a task is
performed in the console and the Web interface, those interfaces use theShell to perform the
task.
Name major benefits of PowerShell v2 over Vl
PowerShell Remoting
:
Using WS-Management, PowerShell 2.0 allows scripts and cmdlets to be invoked on aremote
machine or a large set of remote machines.

Bacqround Jobs
:
Also called a PSJob,
it
allows a command sequence (script) or pipeline to be invokedasynchronously. Jobs can be
run on the local machine or on multiple remote machines. A PSJob cannotinclude

interactive cmdlets.Transactions: Enable cmdlet and provider developers to perform


transactional operations. PowerShell 2.0 includestransaction cmdlets for starting, committing,
and rolling back a PSTransaction as well as features to manage anddirect the transaction
to the participating cmdlet and provider operations. The PowerShell Registry
provider supports transactions.ScriptCmdlets: These are cmdlets written using the PowerShell
scripting language. NOTE: The preferred name for script cmdlets is now
AdvancedFunctions.SteppablePipelines: This allows the user to
control when the BeginProcessing{), ProcessRecord() andEndProcessing() functions of a
cmdlet are called.Modules
:
This allows script developers and administrators to organize and partition PowerShell scripts
in self contained, reusable units. Code from a module executes in its own self-contained
context and does not affect thestate outside of the module. Modules can define a restricted
runspace environment by using a script. They have apersistent state as well as public and
private members.
Data Language
:
A domain-specific subset of the PowerShell scripting language, that allows data
definitions tobe

decoupled from the scripts and allow localized string resources to be imported into the
script at runtime(Script

Internationalization).Script Debugging: It allows breakpoints to be set in a


PowerShell script or function. Breakpoints can be set onlines,

line & columns, commands and read or write access of variables. It includes a set of
cmdlets tocontrol the

breakpoints via script.Eventing: This feature allows listening, forwarding, and acting on
management and system events. Eventing allowsPowerShell hosts to be notified about state
changes to their managed entities. It also enables PowerShell scripts tosubscribe to
ObjectEvents, PSEvents, and WmiEvents and process them synchronously and
asynchronously.Windows PowerShelllntegrated Scripting Environment (ISE)
:
PowerShell 2.0 includes a GUI-based PowerShellhost

(formerly known as Graphical Windows PowerShell) that provides integrated debugger,


syntax highlighting,tab

completion and up to 8 PowerShell Unicode-enabled consoles (Runspaces) in a tabbed Ul, as


well as the abilityto run

only the selected parts in a script.


Network File Transfer
:
Native support for prioritized, throttled, and asynchronous transfer of files between
machinesusing the BackgroundIntelligentTransfer Service (BITS).
New Cmdlets: Including Out-GridView, which displays tabular data inthe WPF
GridView object.New Operators: -Split, -Join, and Splatting (@)operators.
Exception Handling with Try-Catch-Finally
:
Unlike other .NET languages, this allows multiple exception types for asingle catch
block.Nestable Here-Strings: PowerShell Here-Strings have been improved and can now
nest.Block Comments :PowerShell2.0 supports block comments using<# and#> as
delimiters.New APis: The new APis range from handing more control over the PowerShell
parser and runtime to the host, tocreating and managing collection of Runspaces
(RunspacePools) as well as the ability to create RestrictedRunspaces

which only allow a configured subset of PowerShell to be invoked. The new APis also
supportparticipation in a

Windows PowerShell managed transaction.


In the installation folder root you see setup.com and setup.exe. Which would you useand

when?
Setup.com is used for all preparation work; basically it calls different backend procedures.
Setup.com is also usedin

disaster recovery to reinstall all ex2k7 roles.Setup.exe is used for GIUinstallation.


What are the Exchange 2007/2010 server roles?
Exchange 2007 introduces a new concept to Exchange organizations, the concept of server
roles. Similar to how a

Created by Aslam Kader


Windows server can host one or more roles. Server roles allow an administrator to split the
functions of anExchange

server and place each role, or a combination of roles, on different servers in the
organization. With currentExchange

servers you can make a server a Front-End server, or a Back-End server and that is about
it.Exchange 2007

introduces five roles to the Exchange organization.Edge Transport- The last hop of outgoing
mail and first hop of incoming mail, acting as a "smart host" and usuallydeployed in a
perimeter network, Edge Transport provides mail quarantine and SMTP service to enhance
security.One advantage of this role is that is does not require Active Directory access, so
it
can function with limited accessto

the corporate network for increased security.Hub Transport- The Hub Transport role handles
mails by routing them to next hop: another Hub Transport server,Edge server or mailbox
server. Unlike Exchange 2003 Bridgehead that needs Exchange admin defined routinggroups,

Exchange 2007 Hub Transport role uses AD site info to determine the mail flow. The Hub
Transportand Edge

Transport servers are very similar and in fact, one can forgo the Edge Transport server
andconfigure the Hub Transport to accept mail from, and send mail to, the Internet.Client
Access -The Client Access server role provides the other mailbox server protocol access apart
from MAPI.Similar to Exchange 2003 FrontEnd server,
it
enables user to use an Internet browser (OWA), 3rd party mail client(POP3/IMAP4) and
mobile device (ActiveSync) to access their mailbox.Mailbox- The Mailbox server role is
responsible for hosting mailbox and public folder data. This role also providesMAPI access
for Outlook clients. Note that there is also a variation of this role called Clustered Mailbox
role, for usewith high-availability MSCS clustering of mailbox data. When Clustered
Mailbox role is selected, other server rolescannot be combined on the same physical
server.Unified Messaging- This role enables end users to access their mailbox, address book,
and calendar usingtelephone

and voice. IP-PBX or VoiP gateway needs to be installed and configured to facilitate much of
thefunctionality of this

server role.
What are the benefits of using roles, vs. the way Exchange 2000/2003 worked?
Server role is a logical concept used to organize Exchange2007 services and features across
one or more servers.While Exchange2003 provided primitive server roles called
BackEnd server and FrontEnd server,Exchange2007 hasmore granular
divisions.Dividing Exchangefeatures among several server roles has advantages:
More flexible deployment topology: For a small or medium company that has only hundreds
of mailboxes and allusers are centralized, customer can install all required roles on one
physical server. For a large enterprise wheretens of thousands of mailboxes span multiple
physical locations, customer can choose to deploy each role on aseparate

server or even multiple servers per role to provide better performance and fault
tolerance.Better hardware utilization and scalability: Because each role only installs binaries
and runs services for a specificfeature set. Unlike older versions of Exchange, configuring a
server that has only one or two roles will reduceMemory, CPU and disk space requirements
for this server. In addition, roles are scalable so admin can loadbalance

work of one role to multiple servers.Easy to maintain: Upgrading, applying hotfix, or other
server changes that could cause server outage can beisolated to one server role. This reduces
maintenance down time and end user impact. Admin can also install or uninstall roles on a
server as needed.
What are the Exchange 2003 equivalents of the various Exchange 2007-2010roles?

Why not install Exchange on the same machine as aDC?
There are some major reasons behind not installing Exchange Server on Domain Controller,
some of them are asbelow.•Redundancy and Stability: If both of these are running
on the same system, it may reduce the performanceand stability of server. If in any
case Exchange Server services fails, the whole DC will fail, which maycreate critical
problems.• P o r t C o n f l i c t : D o m a i n C o n t r o l l e r

How do you prepare the AD schema for Exchange 2007- 2010?
As with Exchange
2000
and
2003,
the forest and domain needs to be prepared with schema extensions.However,

unlike the previous versions, Active Directory does not need to be prepped beforehand, it is
doneautomatically

during setup, but the option does exist to allow for manual schema upgrades. During the
setupprocess the server

will connect to the Schema Master in an effort to update the schema and this requires thatthe
Schema Master is

available and that the account you are running setup with has permissions to modify theschema.
If you wish to prep the domain manually, you can do so with the /PrepareAD switch on any
server in the samedomain that the Schema Master is in but
it
is recommended to do this on the Schema Master. Once you havecompleted this, you will
have to wait for the schema updates to replicate throughout the forest before you installany
additional Exchange
2007
servers in the organization.Preparing Active Directory manually offers more options than
before and there maybe more commands for you to

Created by Aslam Kader


run, depending on your current environment. If you are currently running any Exchange
2000
or
2003
server the firstcommand you must run is Setup.com

/PreparelesacyExchansePermissionsThe next command will prepare the schema, and this


means the account you run this command from, must be amember of the Schema Admins
group as well as the Exchange Admins group.
Setup.com /PrepareSchema
The third command that you need to run preps the current domain, adds the Exchange
Universal Security Groupsand configures the Exchange objects with AD.Setup.com
/PrepareAD
The final step is optional and is only required to run if you have multiple domains within the
forest. Thiscommand

configures the other domain, or domains, in the forest. It does not need to be run on the
domainthat you run
/PrepareAD in, but any additional domains will need this command run. You have three
command line options withthis command.
Setup.com /PrepareDomain- Prepares the
current domainSetup.com /PrepareDomain:FQDN of target domain to beprepped

Setup.com /PrepareAIIDomains- Prepares all domains inthe forest.


What type or permissions do you need in order to install the first Exchange server in
aforest? In a domain?
The following permissions are required:•To run the Setup
/PreparelegacyExchangePermissions command, you must be a member of the
Enterprise Admins security group.Why Run Setup/PreparelegacyExchangePermissions
Essentially,you must
run the setup /PreparelegacyExchangePermissionscommand sothat the
Exchange 2003 or Exchange 2000 Recipient Update Service functions correctly after you
