Microsoft Office Visio 2007 Pro – Exchange Server Add-In
Although Exchange Management tools are invaluable for managing, monitoring and administer networks, computers, services, and other system components it does not provide a graphical view of user mailbox details. Administrators have to sift through a tree view to view the members of the Distribution Group in an organizational unit and use embedded data to figure out the details.
Microsoft Management Console (MMC) hosts administrative tools that you can use to administer networks, computers, services, and other system components. Exchange Management Console and Exchange Management Shell are used to administer and configure specific settings for Mailbox servers and create and manage Mailbox objects. The Mailbox server role hosts mailbox databases, which contain users’ mailboxes. If you plan to host user mailboxes or public folders, or both, the Mailbox server role is required.
This Microsoft® Office Visio® 2007 Professional Add-In makes it easy for Exchange administrators to visualize, explore, and communicate complex information. Instead of viewing single user data, administrators can create data-connected Visio diagrams that display data at a glance and dramatically increase productivity. You can diagram a Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007 site topology, including sites, servers, and connections for an organization.

Wednesday, July 09, 2008 – TechNet Webcast: Topologies and Routing for Exchange Server 2007 (Level 300)
Historically, Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 routing was designed to enable mail delivery over early point-to-point networks using discrete next-hop solutions. It had evolved little to take advantage of the advancements in network technologies. Learn how mail routing works in the Exchange Server 2007 environment using IP networks and Active Directory Site Topologies. Discover how Exchange Server 2007 and Exchange 200x mailflow interoperability works. Hear about recommended topology and deployment best practices. We also show how administrators can maintain their network by adjusting spam and virus settings and implementing the appropriate security policies, as well as how end-users can use simple and familiar interfaces to recover junk e-mail and apply message classifications.
