INTRODUCTION

Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange 2000 Server support using a server architecture that distributes server tasks among front-end servers and back-end servers. In this architecture, a front-end server accepts requests from clients. Then, the front-end server proxies the requests to the appropriate back-end server for processing.

The "Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange 2000 Server Front-End and Back-End Topology" guide discusses how Exchange Server supports the front-end server and back-end server architecture. This guide also describes several front-end and back-end scenarios. This guide provides recommendations for configuration and for troubleshooting.
