Use this one-stop resource for both basic and advanced administration of Exchange Server 2019 and 2016. It will help you in running an Exchange environment, whether it be 100% on-premises or a hybrid configuration with Exchange Online (as part of Office 365).

In the first part, you will go through a short introduction of Exchange server followed by its installation and configuration.

After reading this book, you will understand best practices, do's and don'ts, and notes from the field to migrate and work on Exchange 2016 and 2019.
