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 I was wondering if there's any sort of "So you've just become sysadmin" guides that anyone could recommend.
