Exchange Server 2013 Resources

  • Exchange Server 2013 Moves Toward Simplicity - Blog post discussing the new UI and new features: For the architecture, the big news is that the number of server roles has been reduced from five to two.

EAC combines and replaces the functionality of Exchange Management Console (EMC), which has been around since Exchange 2000, and Exchange Control Panel (ECP), the web-based management interface introduced in Exchange 2010.
