The first of several courses on Microsoft Exchange 2016 have arrived at CBT Nuggets. The first of these courses attacks one of the most important topics in the discipline – the mailboxes and databases that host them.

This course walks you through every step and every key decision point for these important mailbox databases. It even teaches you how to build a lab in Microsoft Azure to practice all of the actions you must take. The lab is scripted for you, so you can set it up in minutes.

You can find this new course here:
