The procedures in the Exchange Resource Manager namespace build upon Resource Manager in Microsoft Provisioning Framework (MPF); you can use the procedures to allocate resources for Microsoft Exchange 2000 Enterprise Server.
You can use the Exchange Resource Manager namespace through Delegated Administration Console. This is required only if you want to implement Exchange 2000 Server functionality. If you are not using Delegated Administration Console, but you want to implement Exchange 2000 Server functionality, use the Exchange Resource Manager namespace, together with the Managed Exchange namespace, to provide the business logic for using the Exchange Provider, Exchange Provider namespace, and the Resource Manager providers and namespaces of MPF.
