Exchange Server SE installation in Almaty and Kazakhstan

Exchange Server SE installation in Almaty and Kazakhstan

We install Exchange Server SE and maintain business email systems in Almaty and across Kazakhstan. We assess your domain, DNS, Active Directory and existing infrastructure, then configure email access, calendars, backups and security controls.

The project can include domain email, DNS authentication, a mail gateway, spam filtering and mailbox migration. We test message delivery and access from the agreed client applications before handover.

For higher availability, we can assess Exchange Database Availability Groups (DAG). Additional filtering can be provided by a separate mail gateway for Exchange.

Exchange Server SE services in Almaty

We deploy and configure Exchange Server SE for offices, retailers, manufacturers, educational institutions and companies with branches. The scope can include domain email, Outlook, web access, mobile devices, certificates, backups and mail filtering.

Work can be performed remotely or on site in Almaty. We first check server capacity, Active Directory, DNS, connectivity, user count and availability requirements.

Exchange Server SE services in Astana

We deploy Exchange Server SE for organisations in Astana that want to run email on their own infrastructure. We configure domain email, backups and agreed security controls.

Remote and on-site work is available in Astana, depending on the infrastructure and project requirements.

Business email on your own domain

Business email gives employees addresses on your company domain and shared access to email, calendars and contacts. We configure the server and client applications, and test authentication and delivery.

Exchange Server is an option for organisations that want to operate email on their own infrastructure and manage their own access and security policies.

Mail server for a company in Kazakhstan

We design email deployments around the organisation’s requirements for data location, availability, administration and access from computers and mobile devices.

• Offices and trading companies.
• Schools, colleges and training centres.
• Accounting and law firms.
• Production companies, warehouses and factories.
• Companies with branches in different cities of Kazakhstan.
• Organisations that need to host email on their own infrastructure.

Choosing an email deployment

Mail gateway and spam filtering

A separate mail gateway can inspect incoming and outgoing messages and apply spam, attachment and sender policies.

We review the full mail flow when customers report missing invoices, messages landing in spam or attempts to impersonate the company domain.

Exchange DAG and a separate mail gateway

For projects with higher availability and filtering requirements, we can design a DAG alongside a separate mail gateway. Database availability and message filtering are planned and tested as distinct parts of the system.

Installation and configuration of Exchange Server DAG

We configure mailbox database replication across the agreed servers and test failover and recovery. The design depends on the infrastructure and availability requirements.

Replication of mailbox databases, high availability of corporate mail and reduce the risk of downtime.

More about Exchange DAG

Open-source mail gateway configuration

Configure filtering, quarantine, sender policies, TLS and email authentication as supported by the selected gateway.

When ordering the Exchange Server installation, we will install the mail gateway We’ll set it up for free.

Depending on the product and licence scope, paid mail gateways may cost
$300 to $3,000 a year.

More about the mail gateway

Configure DKIM, SPF and DMARC

We configure SPF, DKIM and DMARC for the agreed mail flow. These mechanisms help receiving systems authenticate messages and apply the domain owner’s policy.

Correct authentication is one part of reliable delivery. We also check DNS, server configuration and sender reputation; no configuration can guarantee inbox placement.

Exchange security assessment

We review the server, Active Directory, external access, certificates, DNS, backups and administrative permissions.

• Install up-to-date Exchange Server and Windows Server updates.
• Review OWA, ECP and administrative interface access.
• Configure TLS and verify certificates.
• Restrict external administrative access.
• Setting up anti-spam, quarantine and attachment checks.
• Review suspicious sign-in attempts and event logs.
• Configure backup of mailbox databases.
• Test mailbox or database recovery.
• Document the operating and recovery procedures.

When business emails land in spam

We check the mail flow, domain DNS, IP address, PTR, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, server configuration and sender reputation to identify possible causes.

• Review domain and DNS configuration.
• Check SPF, DKIM and DMARC alignment.
• Review IP and domain reputation.
• Coordinate PTR changes with the IP address provider where needed.
• Review gateway and filtering configuration.
• Provide recommendations for ongoing mail delivery monitoring.

Migration from an existing server or cloud service

We plan the transfer of mailboxes, messages, folders and settings, with backups and verification appropriate to the source system.

Before migration, we assess the current platform, user count, data volume, domains and security requirements, then agree on the schedule and recovery plan.

Exchange maintenance and recovery

If Exchange is unstable, cannot deliver messages or needs updating, we investigate the fault and agree on the corrective work.

• Messages are not sending or being received.
• Outlook repeatedly asks for a password or cannot connect.
• OWA, ECP, or Autodiscover does not work.
• Certificates have expired or are incorrectly configured.
• A mailbox database is offline, damaged or running out of storage.
• Outgoing messages land in spam or a sender is blocklisted.
• The installation needs a build, update or migration review.
• Exchange DAG replication does not work.
• A deleted mailbox, message or database needs recovery.
• The system needs a security or performance audit.

If you already run Exchange Server 2019, we can assess the installation, review backups and mail flow, and prepare a supported migration to Exchange Server SE.

We plan the transition around your existing infrastructure and business requirements, including testing and user communication.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Exchange Server SE deployment cost?

The quote includes the agreed deployment work, infrastructure and licensing requirements. Exchange Server SE requires an active qualifying licensing entitlement; ongoing licensing and support costs must be included when comparing it with cloud email.

Can you set up email on our company domain?

Yes. We check your domain and DNS, then configure the agreed mailboxes, client access and email services.

Is owning a domain enough to run business email?

No. You also need an email service, the required DNS records, user access and appropriate security and delivery settings.

What if our messages land in spam?

We review DNS, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, PTR, sender reputation and mail flow, then address the issues identified. Inbox placement also depends on the receiving system.

Can employees use Outlook and mobile devices?

We configure access using clients supported by your deployment and verify email, calendar and contact synchronisation.

Can you help with an existing Exchange Server 2019 installation?

Yes. We can audit the environment, assess immediate issues and prepare a supported migration plan to Exchange Server SE.

Does the open-source mail gateway require annual licence renewal?

The selected open-source gateway does not require a mandatory annual software licence renewal. This is separate from Exchange licensing. Infrastructure, optional subscriptions and support are quoted separately.

What is the purpose of an Exchange DAG?

A Database Availability Group maintains copies of mailbox databases on multiple servers. We design and test failover to help meet the agreed availability requirements.

How long does deployment take?

The schedule depends on user count, infrastructure, migration volume and testing. We confirm the implementation plan after assessing your environment.

Do you work outside Almaty and Astana?

Yes. Remote work is available across Kazakhstan, with on-site visits arranged where needed.
