Lab Scenario
You are working as a messaging administrator in A. Datum Corporation. Your organization has decided to
deploy Client Access servers so that the servers are accessible from the Internet for a variety of messaging
clients. To ensure that the deployment is as secure as possible, you must secure the Client Access server,
and configure a certificate on the server that will support the messaging client connections. You also need
to configure the server to support Outlook Anywhere connections.

Lab Instructions: Managing Client Access

Exercise 1: Configuring Client Access Servers


Scenario
As a messaging administrator in A. Datum Corporation, you have deployed the Exchange Server
environment, and you are now working on configuring the Client Access servers. The organization has

CMC or PKCS#10 file. Copy and paste the contents of the CertRequest.req file into the Saved
Request field. Request a Web server certificate.

3.

Download the certificate and save it.

4.

View the certificate. Verify that the certificate includes several subject alternative names, and then
click OK.

Task 4: Assign the IIS Exchange Service to the new certificate


1.

In the Exchange Management console, use the Complete Pending Request Wizard to import the
Adatum Mail certificate.

2.

In the Exchange Management console, use the Assign Services to Certificate Wizard to assign the
Adatum Mail certificate to the Internet Information Services service.

configured to use VAN-EX2 as the mailbox server.

Results: After this exercise, you should have configured the security settings for VAN-EX2 by using the
Security Configuration Wizard, and installed a server certificate from the internal CA on the server. You
should have also verified Outlook client connectivity to the Exchange server.

Exercise 2: Configuring Outlook Anywhere


Scenario
A. Datum Corporation has several users who are frequently out of the office. These users all have laptop
computers, and they want to use Office Outlook to connect to their Exchange Server mailboxes while in
the office or out of the office. You need to configure the Client Access server to enable Outlook
Anywhere, and then configure a client to connect to the server using RPC over HTTPS. Finally, you need to
verify that the connection works.
The main tasks for this exercise are:
1.

Configure a DNS record for Mail.Adatum.com.

2.

Configure Outlook Anywhere on VAN-EX2.

Connect using SSL only: enable (default)

On fast networks, connect using HTTP first, then connect using TCP/IP: enable

On slow networks, connect using HTTP first, then connect using TCP/IP: enable (default)

Proxy authentication setting: NTLM Authentication (default)

Close Outlook.

Task 4: Verify Outlook Anywhere connectivity


1.

On VAN-CL1, open Outlook and verify that you are connected to the Exchange server.

2.

Press and hold Ctrl, and then right-click the Office Outlook icon in the Windows 7 notification area.
Confirm that the Conn column lists HTTPS as the connection method. You may need to click the up
arrow in the Windows 7 notification area to view the Office Outlook icon.

messaging policy and compliance. These requirements include applying rights protection to some
messages sent inside and outside the organization, restricting message flow based on information in
message subjects, and restricting which messages are sent to critical distribution lists. You also must
ensure that you establish a separate and secure mailbox in which to retain all messages that the legal
department sends and receives. Additionally, an auditor must be able to retrieve all messages sent and
received by users with legal hold enabled.

Exercise 1: Configuring Transport Rules

messaging policies to manage email messages in transit and in user mailboxes. The project sponsors have
developed the following requirements for transport rules:

All messages sent to users on the Internet must have a disclaimer that the legal department approves.

External messages with the term customer in the message subject or body must be copied to the
CustomerService distribution group unless a member of the CustomerService group sent the
message.

All messages with the words confidential or private in the subject must have the Do Not Forward
AD RMS template applied.

A member of the Marketing group must approve all messages sent to the All Company distribution
list before the message is delivered.

The legal and audit departments at A. Datum provided you with several requirements for implementing
messaging policy and compliance. First, you must enable Personal Archives for all of the users in the
Marketing department. Additional requirements include configuring rules that will ensure that some
messages are retained for an extended period, while other messages are deleted when they expire.

Lab Instructions: Configuring Messaging Policy and Compliance

Exercise 1: Configuring Personal Archives


Scenario
A. Datum Corporation is also concerned about the number of emails that some users are storing in PST
files. In particular, some members of the Executives and Marketing group have several gigabytes (GB) of
data stored in PST files. To provide these users with larger mailboxes, the project team has agreed to
provide the members of the Executives and Marketing group with archive mailboxes. You need to
configure the mailboxes for these users.

Items in a users mailbox that have no other retention tag applied must be moved to archive after 365
days.

Users in Executives groups must be able to apply a Business Critical tag to specific items in their
mailboxes. These items should be moved to archive after 3 years.

To test this implementation, the executives have approved a pilot project to use retention policies for the
Marketing and Executives groups.
The main tasks for this exercise are:
1.

Create and configure retention tags.

2.

Create and configure retention policies for the Marketing group.

3.

Create and configure retention policies for the Executives group.

Lab Scenario
A. Datum Corporation has deployed Exchange Server 2010. The company security officer has provided
you with a set of requirements to ensure that the Exchange Server deployment is as secure as possible.
The specific concerns included in the requirements include:

Exchange Server administrators should have minimal permissions. This means that, whenever possible,
you should delegate Exchange Server management permissions.

Any configuration changes made to the Exchange server environment should be audited. The audit
logs must be available for inspection by company auditors.

Lab Instructions: Securing Microsoft Exchange Server 2010

The organization must have the option of auditing all non-owner access to user mailboxes. The audit
logs must be available for inspection by company auditors.
