Exchange Server 2019 ist die aktuelle Version der E-Mail-Messaging Plattform für die Installation in der lokalten IT-Infrastruktur (aka On-Premises). Als lokale Infrastruktur gilt auch die Nutzung von Exchange Server 2019 auf virtualisiserten Serversystemen in Microsoft Azure. Bei Microsoft handelt sich, technisch gesehen, nur um ein ausgelagertes Rechenzentrum. Als wirkliche Alternative zu einem eigenen Betrieb von Exchange Server 2019 steht Ihnen Exchange Online, als Bestandteil des Software-as-a-Service Angebotes von Office 365, zur Verfügung.

Der Betrieb von Exchange Server 2019, die hybride Verbindung zwischen einer lokalen Exchange Organisation und Exchange Online oder die alleinige Nutzung von Exchange Online erfordern eine detaillierte Planung und Vorbereitung. 

Auf dieser Seite finden Sie die wichtigsten Referenz-Links zu Online Ressourcen von Microsoft und anderen Quellen, um das für Sie richtige Exchange Produkt zu installieren, einzurichten und zu betreiben.

Planung einer Exchange Organisation

Wie einleitend schon ausgeführt, kann Exchange grundsätzlich in vier unterschiedlichen Architekturmodellen betrieben werden, die ihre ganz individuellen Vor- und Nachteile bieten. Diese sind:

• Exchange Online (SaaS)
  Hierbei wird Exchange als integraler Bestandteile des SaaS-Angebotes von Office 365 verwendet. Sie nutzen  hierbei immer die aktuellste Version von Exchange Server.
   
• Exchange Hybrid
  Hierbei werden eine lokale Exchange Organisation und Exchange Online parallel betrieben und sind bidirektional miteinander verbunden. Beide Umgebungen können mit der jeweils anderen Umgebung kommunizieren und auf Inhalte.
   
• Exchange Server in Azure (IaaS)
  Hier agiert Azure als Erweiterung Ihrer internen IT-Infrastruktur. Sie betreiben in Azure virtuelle Serversysteme und betreiben dort Exchange Server Systeme. Diese Systeme können auch in einer Hybrid-Anbindung mit Exchange Online betrieben werden. 
   
• Exchange On-Premises
  Dies entspricht einer klassischen Exchange Organisation mit Exchange Server Systemen, die Sie auf Ihren eigenen Serversystemen, virtualisiert oder physikalisch, betreiben.

Am 12. Februar fand das erste Treffen der neu gegründeten PowerShell User Group Berlin (PSUGB) in den Räumlichkeiten der commehr GmbH statt. Die neue User Group wurde von Evgenij Smirnov ins Leben gerufen. Damit hat auch die Hauptstadt endlich eine User Group, in der sich PowerShell Begeisterte regelmäßig treffen und austauschen können. Evgenij ist im Community-Leben Berlins nicht unbekannt, da er auch die Windows Server User Group (WSUG-B) und die Exchange User Group (EXUSG) führt. 

Die PSUGB trifft sich in der Regel alle zwei Monate. Bei den gibt es immer einen Themenvortrag rund um PowerShell und den festen Tagesordnungspunkt "Bring Your Own Script". Bei BYOS kann jederzeit ein persönliches Power-Skript vorgestellt werden, das man schon immer gerne einmal mit der Community teilen wollte oder zu dem man Tipps aus der Community benötigt. 

Auf der Webseite der PSUGB findest du weitere Infos, wie z.B. die Präsentationen, vergangenen Treffen.

Mach mit

Die Community und die PowerShell User Group Berlin lebt vom Mitmachen. Einfach bei Meetup zum nächsten User Group Treffen anmelden.

Die PSUGB ist natürlich auch bei Twitter aktiv: @psugbde. Es lohnt sich, dem Account zu folgen.
