I am lucky in the sense that I have been given the opportunity to be a 'Technical Troubleshooter' for our offshore development team. While I am confident and capable of dealing with most issues, I have come across something that I am not. Based on initial discussions with various team members both…

I've recently taken over management of a Windows 2003 Small Business server and network for a small, less than ten person company.
I have some (antiquated) sysadmin experience, but I've little experience with Exchange.
The documentation of the existing infrastructure leaves much to be desired, and…
