Microsoft Exchange Server Troubleshooting

The Windows Exchange Server software suite is developed and supported by Microsoft. Microsoft Exchange is used to download, manage and organize email, contact data and calendars on a server network. The Windows-based Exchange server is also often used for mobile data, such as email on a smartphone. Occasionally, errors may be encountered when working within the Exchange framework.
