the default
storage
limits.
If you impose restrictive default storage limits for your users, you may want
to relax the limits on a case-by-case basis. For example, some users may
require a larger mailbox because of the type of work they do. And you prob-
ably don’t want to impose a tight limit on your boss.
Fortunately, it’s easy to override the default limits for a specific user. Here
are the steps:
1. In Exchange Management Console, navigate to Microsoft Exchange➪
Microsoft Exchange On-Premises➪Recipient Configuration➪Mailbox.
2. Right-click the user for whom you want to override the limits.
This summons the Mailbox Properties dialog box.
3. Click the Mailbox Settings tab.
4. Double-click Storage Quotas.
The Storage Quotas dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 2-15.
5. Deselect the Use Mailbox Database Defaults check box.
This enables the controls that let you set the Issue Warning, Prohibit
Send, and Prohibit Send and Receive limits.
6. Set the appropriate limits for the user.
7. Click OK.
The storage limits are configured.

Note that there are many other features of Exchange that you can config-
ure via the Exchange Management Console. You should take some time to
explore all of the nodes in the navigation pane and examine the Properties
dialog boxes for the various types of Exchange objects that appear when you
select each node.
Configuring Outlook for Exchange
After you’ve created an Exchange mailbox for a user, you can then config-
ure that user’s Outlook client software to connect to the user’s account.
Although you can do this from directly within Outlook, it’s better to do this
configuration from outside of Outlook, using the Control Main Mail applet.
Here are the steps:
1. Open Control Panel and open the Mail applet.
The dialog box shown in Figure 2-16 appears.
2. Click the Show Profiles button.
The dialog box shown in Figure 2-17 appears, which lists the mail pro-
files that already exist on the computer.

10. Click the Finish button.
The wizard is dismissed.
11. Choose File➪Exit to close Outlook, and then restart Outlook.
The mailbox should now be configured.
Viewing Another Mailbox
Sometimes, you want to set up Outlook so that in addition to the user’s main
mailbox, he or she has access to another user’s mailbox. For example, sup-
pose you create a user named Support so that your customers can send
e-mail to Support@YourCompany.com to ask technical support questions.
If you don’t set up at least one of your users so that he or she can read the
Support mailbox, any mail sent to Support@YourCompany.com will lan-
guish unanswered. Assuming that’s not what you want, you can set up one
or more of your users to access the Support mailbox so that they can read
and respond to the mail.
First, you must configure the Support user account’s mailbox so that it
grants access rights to the user that you want to have access to the account.
To do that, follow these steps:
1. On the server, open Exchange Management Console and then select
the mailbox you want to access from another user’s Outlook.
2. In the Actions pane (on the right side of the Exchange Management
Console window), click Manage Full Access Permission.
The Manage Full Access Permission Wizard appears, as shown in
Figure 2-21.
3. Click the Add button.
This brings up a dialog box titled Select User or Group.
4. Select the user you want to grant access to; then click OK.
You’re returned to the wizard. The user you added will be selected in
the list of users with access to the mailbox.
5. Click the Manage button.
The mailbox rights will be updated. The wizard displays a summary
page to let you know that the change was successfully made.
6. Click Finish.
The Manage Full Access Permission Wizard is dismissed.

Chapter 3: Using SQL Server 2008
In This Chapter
✓ Looking at relational databases and SQL
✓ Installing SQL Server 2008
S
QL Server 2008 is the most common database server used on Microsoft
networks. At the time of this writing, the most widely used version of
SQL Server was SQL Server 2005, but a new version known as SQL Server
2008 was close to being released.
This chapter introduces you to the basics of installing and running SQL
Server 2008. It begins with a basic introduction to relational databases and
SQL. Then, it shows you how to install SQL Server 2008. Note that the infor-
mation in this chapter applies to SQL Server 2005 as well.
What Is a Database?
A database is simply an organized collection of information. Here are some
examples of databases from everyday life:
✦ Your personal address book
✦ The shoebox that contains your tax records for the year
✦ Your baseball card collection
✦ All those parking tickets conveniently stuffed into your car’s glove
compartment
✦ The phone book
✦ That pile of score cards that has been accumulating in the bottom of
your golf bag for 15 years
You can think of each of these databases as a collection of records. In data-
base lingo, a record consists of all the useful information that you can gather
about a particular thing. In your address book, each record represents one
of your friends (or enemies). For your tax records database, each receipt in
the shoebox is a record.
Each little snippet of information that makes up a record is called a field.
Using the address book as an example once again, each person’s record —
that is, each entry in your address book — consists of several fields: name,
street address, city, state, zip code, phone number, e-mail address, as well
60_625873-bk08ch03.indd 63560_625873-bk08ch03.indd 635 9/21/10 10:43 PM9/21/10 10:43 PM

as other information that may be optional, such as the person’s birthday,
whether you sent a Christmas card to the person last year, or how much
money the person owes you.
SQL Server is designed to create and manage computerized databases that
are similar to these noncomputerized databases. Like your address book or
shoebox full of tax records, a SQL Server database is a collection of records,
and each record is a collection of fields. The biggest difference is that in a
SQL Server database, the information is stored on a server computer’s hard
drive rather than in a shoe box.
What Is a Relational Database?
“Say Al, do you think they call it a relational database because it’s good at
dealing with relationships?”
“I don’t think so, Tim.”
SQL Server is a database management server that creates and maintains rela-
tional databases. Unfortunately, the term relational database is one of the
most used and abused buzzwords in the computer business. The term has at
least three meanings. A relational database can be:
✦ A database in which data is stored in tables: In a relational database,
groups of similar records are called tables. A database usually consists
of more than one table — in fact, it isn’t uncommon for a single data-
base to have dozens of different tables. You can establish relationships
between and among these tables based on common information. For
example, a sales database might contain a table of customer information
and a table of invoices, with both tables containing a customer number
column that establishes a relationship between the tables.
✦ A database model based on a Conehead branch of mathematics called
Set Theory: This is actually the most technically precise definition of a rela-
tional database, but only computer geeks know or care. Contrary to popular
belief, the term relational database is not derived from the ability to create
relationships among tables, but from the term relation, a mathematical term
that refers to the way data is arranged into tables of rows and columns.
(It’s a little known fact that relational database theory was developed at
around the same time that the Coneheads from the planet Remulak first
visited the Earth, back in the 1970s. I have always suspected that these
two developments are — dare I say it? — related.)
✦ A database that’s accessed via SQL: SQL, which stands for Structured
Query Language, provides a practical way to access data stored in rela-
tional tables. A database that’s based on SQL is inherently relational
because SQL stores its data in tables and is based on Set Theory. SQL
Server, as its name implies, is based on SQL.
