What is the Exchange Admin Center (EAC)?

The Exchange Admin Center (EAC) is a modern web-based management console designed specifically for managing Exchange servers and their associated resources. This graphical interface allows administrators to perform a variety of tasks, such as creating and managing user accounts, configuring email settings, and monitoring the overall health of the Exchange environment, all through an easy-to-use web interface.

By providing a user-friendly approach to managing Exchange features, the EAC enables both experienced IT professionals and those less familiar with command-line interfaces to perform critical administrative functions with efficiency and clarity. This contrasts with other options like command-line tools or physical server roles, which serve different purposes in the overall Exchange ecosystem. The EAC's web-based nature allows for remote access and management capabilities, very much aligning with modern IT practices, emphasizing usability and accessibility.
