The 70-284 exam explores the new features found in Microsoft?s premier messaging product, Exchange Server 2003. As with all recent Microsoft exams, a strong understanding of Active Directory is a prerequisite for this certification.

This exam also counts as a core credit for both the MCSA - Messaging and MCSE Messaging certifications.
