Benefits of MS Exchange Server 2000 Vs. Microsoft Exchange 5.5 Server
Microsoft Exchange Server 2K offers major enhancements in functionality compared to MS Exchange 5.5 Server in key areas such as connectivity, manageability, protection, stability, capacity, and performance.

• The 2K version of MS Exchange Server represented a significant improvement in functionality over the MS Exchange 5.5 web client. MS Exchange Server 2000 offers a good rendition of the familiar Outlook interface, including calendaring and tools. Because of this, authorized mobile users can have unrestricted, protected access to email even in the absence of their mobile computer. All they require is a web accessible computer with a standard web browser.
• Unlike Microsoft Exchange 5.5, which has its own directory, Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server uses Microsoft Active Directory, offering a much simplified administration and security model. This makes MS Exchange 2000 Server easier to manage and support and also provides better protection.
• Microsoft Exchange Server 2K incorporates a strong architecture for seamlessly adding third-party software such as virus detection programs and anti-spamming tools. MS Exchange Server 2000's strong API eliminates the instability existing with Exchange 5.5 when integrating third-party add-ins.
• MS Exchange 2000 Server offers significantly improved capacity and performance over Exchange 5.5. Therefore you can deploy more and larger mailboxes and enjoy quicker off-site connectivity.
