This white paper is not intended to be a complete design or
implementation guide; it is intended to be a general guide based on the best
practices that were collected through project experience. For this reason, this
white paper does not provide a rigorous discussion of all the issues that may
affect a Microsoft Windows 2000 or an Exchange 2000 design and implementation.
It is intended to familiarize you with only the basic architectural components
of Windows 2000 and Exchange 2000 and the particulars of the design that is
implemented at a fictitious company, Woodgrove Bank.
Project Vision
Woodgrove Bank has a vision to provide its user community with
the best tools in a reliable, manageable, and secure environment. This vision
provides Woodgrove Bank with a competitive advantage both internally and
externally. Implementation of Windows 2000 and Exchange 2000 fits this vision
by providing Woodgrove Bank with the most powerful tools available today for an
environment that can be centrally managed and controlled. After Woodgrove Banks
completes this project, it will have a world-class operating environment that
addresses many of its current needs and allows future scalability as Woodgrove
Bank progresses.
