Interview tomorrow and looking for info on Outlook/Exchange

Repo Man

So I have a job interview tomorrow for a role in a Lotus Notes to Exchange migration. I have 3 years of experience working with Lotus Notes but I have never been in a corporate environment that used Exchange (weird I know). The most I've done is probably setup a POP account years ago in Outlook.

The company is well aware of my lack of experience with it so it appears that it's not a deal breaker. I've been going over some basics but if I do land the role I want to really jump into it. Does anyone have any suggested sites or books I could pick up?

Also this job is mostly dealing dealing with the deployment and initial issues after switching the users from LN to Outlook so if anyone has been in a similar job or situation please let me know of how it went or things to look out for.

Either way wish me luck!

If it's not a deal breaker, they'll probably have someone train you or let you get experience with it.

I see a lot of outlook books for 100+ bucks. Pretty expensive.

Use this website it has a lot of articles and info on Exchange

Microsoft Exchange Server Resource Site: Articles & Tutorials

I would start with getting a virtual Server built and installing Exchange with the different roles to familiarize yourself

The link lfcgeorge posted is a great site but also check out Technet @ Exchange Server. Find out what version of Exchange they run and start looking through it. I would agree with loading up Exchange using a virtual machine just to see what it looks like.

Thanks for that link.

The interview went well so now it's just wait and see time.

Exchange has something called auto configure where all you have to do is type in the server address of exchange in outlook and it will automatically configure it for you.
