Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
MS Exchange Server 2000 was the initial email platform developed by Microsoft to use AD directory services instead of a non-standard directory system. This design enhancement made MS Exchange Server 2K significantly easier to administer and MS Exchange Server 2K is still the basis of the email environment used by numerous companies.

Years of experience with Microsoft's Exchange technology makes Progent one of the most qualified IT consulting organizations in the United States for supporting messaging solutions powered by MS Exchange Server 2000. Progent is expert at helping small businesses who continue to operate Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 and Progent can assist your organization understand the costs and benefits of migrating your Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 system to a current release of Exchange. (Refer to Progent's Exchange Server 2016 upgrade support and Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 consulting.)

Benefits of MS Exchange Server 2K Compared to MS Exchange 5.5 Server
MS Exchange Server 2000 features important enhancements in functionality compared to Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 in vital areas including connectivity, ease of administration, security, stability, scalability, and performance.

  • The 2000 release of MS Exchange Server brought a significant improvement in functionality in comparison to the Microsoft Exchange 5.5 web client. MS Exchange Server 2000 offers a solid implementation of the familiar Outlook interface, including scheduling and utilities. As a result, mobile workers can enjoy full, protected access to email even without their mobile computer. The only thing mobile clients need is an Internet-connected PC with a standard web browser.
  • In contrast to Microsoft Exchange 5.5, which has its built-in directory, Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 utilizes MS Active Directory, providing a greatly simplified administration and security architecture. This makes MS Exchange 2000 Server simpler to administer and support and also provides better security.
  • MS Exchange Server 2000 incorporates a robust architecture for transparently integrating third-party software such as virus scanning packages and anti-spamming tools. MS Exchange Server 2000's strong Application Programming Interface avoids the risks existing with Exchange 5.5 when integrating third-party add-ins.
  • MS Exchange Server 2K provides significantly improved capacity and performance over Exchange 5.5. This means you can have more and bigger mailboxes and enjoy faster off-site access.

Advantages of MS Exchange Server 2000 Over an ISP-based or POP3 Email System
If your business currently has users relying on an email system hosted by an ISP or if you are running some Outlook users in POP3 mode, your MS Exchange Server 2000 provides an array of enhanced capabilities in the categories of ease of administration, responsiveness, capacity, robustness, and groupware:

  • Unlike the store-and-forward model used by POP3 messaging, MS Exchange 2000 Server implements a central-store model that liberates users from dependence on a single desktop or notebook PC, reduces exposure to hardware breakdowns or malicious software, and permits both on-line and off-line email, auto-backup, and sophisticated sharing and collaboration.
  • MS Exchange Server 2000 has strong collaboration capabilities that allow work groups to improve efficiency by sharing calendaring, addresses, email and files.
  • The versatility of Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server makes it possible to add third-party security enhancements or accommodate wireless handhelds such as the RIM BlackBerry.
