Roadmap for Exchange Features

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010

This roadmap helps you get acquainted with all the features in Microsoft Exchange Server 2010. The first section lists all the features that can be managed by using either the Exchange Management Console (EMC) or the Exchange Management Shell. This section also shows you how to navigate to the feature in the EMC and provides a link to the corresponding management topic.

However, not all features and tasks can be managed in the EMC. Therefore, the second section lists the features that can be managed only in the Shell and provides links to the corresponding cmdlet reference topic.

Important

If you're looking for a feature that was in Exchange Server 2007 or Exchange Server 2003 and you can't find it in this topic, the feature may have been renamed or removed in Exchange 2010. For more information, see Discontinued Features and De-Emphasized Functionality.

Features Managed in the EMC and the Shell

The following table is organized alphabetically by feature. It includes the click path that shows you how to get to the feature and the related topics that explain how to manage the feature.

Note

This table shows how to locate features in the EMC. However, because all features can be managed by using the Shell, the management topics include both the EMC and Shell procedures.

The click paths follow the EMC layout from left to right, starting in the console tree and working toward the action pane. For example, consider the following click path for managing Exchange certificates: Server Configuration > (Select Server) > Exchange Certificates > (Select Certificate). The following illustration maps this click path from the console tree, to the result pane, to the work pane, and then finally to the action pane that lists options for managing the specified certificate.
