Windows Server 2008 has a whole variety of new features, and one of the most talked about features is the vastly improved virtualization technology which is now built-in to Windows 2008, called Hyper-V.
You can download Hyper-V starting today, and will be available via Windows Update on July 9th.
Hyper-V supports a number of virtual machine (VM) […]

I just ran into a quirk with the “import-mailbox” Powershell cmdlet from Ex2007 SP1.
I found that if I was trying to import an existing PST created using Outlook 2003 to an Exchange 2007 mailbox, it claimed that everything worked just fine, but none of the content appeared in the mailbox.
The fix is to first do […]

Microsoft Exchange 2007 can be managed via the graphical user interface (GUI), like any other Microsoft application, but it also allows management via the command line.
Exchange 2007 leverages Windows Powershell, such that you now have an extremely powerful (sorry for the pun) way of being able to manage your Exchange environments. When […]

I just noticed that there was an error with the last Exchange 2007 blog post that I put out.
The video link did not properly launch the streaming video page.
This has now been fixed.
Please go ahead and watch the Exchange 2007 video reviewing the new roles and licensing changes.

The most basic type of Exchange 2003 installation you can do is to simply install it on one server.
If that Exchange 2003 server experienced a higher load, you could split off to two or more Exchange 2003 servers, each running a separate mailbox stores and therefore “statically” splitting the load between these two or more […]

Most viruses and malware these days tend to spread the most by means of email.
Since almost everyone actively uses email these days, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that if viruses use email as a transport/delivery mechanism, then infection can spread extremely quickly.

We live in a world where compliance requirements keep getting more and more stringent.
From Sarbanes-Oxley in the USA through to CLERP9 in Australia, and the many other international standards such as ISO 9000 and Sarbanes-Oxley hybrids, it seems that compliance requirements are getting tougher as we go.
If you’re a multinational company, you could […]

When you talk about management features most people won’t get as excited about this as other new sexy features such as unified messaging or the new disaster recovery features available in Exchange 2007.
But considering that admins tend to spend 70% of their time maintaining existing systems, it becomes very important to try to maximise the […]

New servers have been built with 64-bit capabilities for at least one year, yet we rarely see servers built with the 64-bit version of Windows Server.
Part of the reason for this is that there were never clear benefits of going down the 64-bit road. The performance improvements were marginal, yet we would have to […]

Researchers have stated that “nearly 90% of professionals will carry mobile devices capable of receiving mobile messages by 2008″.
You may think that in order to be able to push email out from Exchange to mobile devices you need to purchase Blackberry devices and an expensive Blackberry server to sit next to your Exchange system…..but those […]
