Exchange Server 2013 has a new management console! It's web-based and optimised for on-premises, online, and hybrid Exchange deployments. The Exchange Admin Center (EAC) replaces the Exchange Management Console (EMC) and the Exchange Control Panel (ECP), which were used in the previous version of Exchange. Since the EAC is web-based, you can partition Internet and intranet access from within the ECP IIS virtual directory. This means you'll decide whether or not users are allowed to have Internet access to the EAC from outside of your organisation, at the same time that you allow a user to access Outlook Web App Options. As you'll be accessing the EAC from your web browser, you’ll need to use the ECP virtual directory URL to access the console. That URL will probably look like the following:- Internal URL: https://<CASServerName>/ecp This is to access the EAC from within your firewall.
- External URL: https://mail.contoso.com/ecp This is to access the EAC from outside your firewall. You may want to deny access to the EAC.
https://CAS15-AU/ecp?ExchClientVer=15.On the other hand, if your mailbox is housed on an Exchange 2013 Mailbox server and you want to access the Exchange 2010 ECP, you would use the following URL:
https://CAS14-AU/ecp?ExchClientVer=14.Along the left-hand side of the EAC, you will find the Feature pane. This is the first area you will go to for tasks you wish to perform. It looks a lot like the Exchange Management Console from Exchange 2010, but it is organised by feature areas instead of server roles, so you will find what you need with fewer clicks. The featured features are:
- Recipients
- Permissions
- Compliance Management
- Organization
- Protection
- Mail Flow
- Mobile
- Public Folders
- Unified Messaging
- Servers
- Hybrid
