This book is for messaging professionals who want to learn how to build real-world scripts with Windows PowerShell 5.0 and the Exchange Management Shell. If you are a network or systems administrator responsible for managing and maintaining the on-premises version of Exchange Server 2016, then this book is for you.
The recipes in this cookbook touch on each of the core Exchange 2016 server roles and require a working knowledge of the supporting technologies, such as Windows Server 2012 R2 or 2016, Active Directory, and DNS.
All of the topics in the book are focused on the on-premises version of Exchange 2016, the only exception being the validation of Exchange Hybrid configuration. In this book, we will not cover Microsoft's hosted version of Exchange Online in Office 365. However, the concepts you'll learn in this book will allow you to hit the ground running with that platform since it will give you an understanding of PowerShell's command syntax and object-based nature. Additionally, many scripts and tasks presented in this book also apply to Exchange Online.
