I don't know how to answer that becasue I can go both ways on it.
So far my experience with setting up an email server is more positive than negative. But this is just for the initial setup. I think during the lifetime of the server it will be more of a headache due to the maintenance and upkeep of user information, but once again that is to be seen.
One end I do see being a problem is that due to everyone needing to use Outlook as their email client, we will be open to a lot more Virus's do to the hackers targeting Outlook as the spreader. One good thing is that we have Virus protection on the Exchange Server as well as anti-virus on each computer in our network.
Only time will tell how this helps on my search for Administration Knowledge, but I am sure it will, since I have now conquered another Server issue. Next Stop...The Linux Zone!!!!
