This configuration pack contains configuration items intended to manage your Exchange Server 2007 server roles. The settings contained in this configuration pack are based on the results of service engagements by the IT Operational Excellence Organization, a part of the Microsoft Services division.

The Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Operational Configuration Pack is designed to be used for managing the configuration of Exchange 2007 servers. This configuration pack defines recommended configurations based on a limited number of settings affecting the configuration of Exchange 2007 servers, these settings should not be considered a complete list of what should be managed.

Once imported into Configuration Manager 2007, this configuration pack and its included configuration items can be targeted to collections of systems which are then audited for compliance with the recommended configurations. When settings are detected to be out of compliance, events will be generated and sent to the Configuration Manager server where the data is available for reporting. This enables early detection of potentially detrimental configuration changes and allows the administrator to correct the settings before they may cause downtime events.
