Before you start
This is an advanced course. You should already have hands-on time running Exchange Server and know Windows Server and Active Directory basics. Taking the 70-341 core solutions course first will help. Comfort with the command line will help, because PowerShell is used in most modules. If PowerShell is new to you, the beginning PowerShell module gives you a gentle start before the tasks get harder.
About the 70-342 exam
The 70-342 exam, Advanced Solutions of Microsoft Exchange Server 2013, was issued by Microsoft as part of the MCSE: Messaging track. It tested advanced Exchange skills such as Unified Messaging, security, compliance, high availability and hybrid setups. Microsoft has retired the 70-series exams, so you can no longer sit this exam. The skills still apply to teams running Exchange Server on-premises or in a hybrid setup. The hybrid and Exchange Online lessons also help if your organisation is moving mail to the cloud.
