Spiceheads,
I know what each of these things and how to keep them running but i am not sure how to set them up.. All the internships I've done and the one job I have already have these technologies in place and all i'm required to do is know how each one of them function and just keep them functioning, but if I where to start my own network I would not know where to begin or what to buy.
My questions are:
Is Windows server separate from Exchange server or included when you buy Windows Server?
Do you need Windows server for Exchange server to work?
Active Directory is what is used to control all clients In Exchange so is that part of Exchange or separate?
Does group police come with both Windows server and Exchange server?
Operating these technologies and knowing exactly how they are setup are two different ballgames. I believe I would learn more if I set them rather then just getting thrown in to ones that are already running and just keeping them up. I figure one day along the road Im going to have to figure this out but school hasn't taught me this part or even gotten this specific and I am not sure if it ever will? I dont think I will ever be given the chance to set one up unless something catastrophic happens at my current job.
so how does someone go about learning this:
Did you learn it in school? expierence? reading?
