MS Exchange 2003 Server delivers a dependable, scalable, and manageable platform offering round-the-clock messaging and collaboration plus affordability. Microsoft Exchange 2003 Server supports a broad array of team activities, including group calendaring capabilities, discussion groups, and team folders, and also gives access to information across territorial, logical, and technology divisions with productivity enhancers such as Instant Messaging (IM), on-demand data, and video conferencing.

- Security improvements offered by MS Exchange Server 2003 include Internet Protocol security compatibility for front- and back-end clusters, signed Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) requests to Microsoft Active Directory, front-end and back-end Kerberos authentication, Internet Information Services 6.0 security, limiting of distribution lists to authenticated users, real-time Safe and Block lists, inbound recipient filtering, attachment restrictions in OWA, and public folders access improvements.

All mobile users need is an Internet-connected computer with a conventional web browser.

This makes MS Exchange 2003 Server easier to administer and maintain and also allows tighter security.
