Web users can access their mail and news discussions via a Web browser.
The Web pages generated by Exchange Server's Web view look very similar to the interface presented by Outlook, so users will feel a consistency when moving between applications. And Java applets allow groupware features to be accessed via the Web browser. Administration is done from the Exchange Administrator and employs a fine-grained approach to services and user privileges but lacks some basic sysadmin functionality. In addition, you can set data-storage limits for users, groups, or the system as a whole, and you can determine how long messages are stored on the same basis. And you can restrict user access to specific times in the day and logons from specific workstations.
