A lot of people are questioning me about Exchange 5.5 to Exchange, How can I do? I always have the same answer it’s not possible through exchange 2007 tools:(.

There are 3third partners working on it, but there is not a tool from Exchange Server 2007 to do this work, but there is a logic way to accomplish this kind of migration, the msexchange team has explained to us below.

Migrating mailboxes from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange Server 2007 directly is not supported. Using native tools, administrators will have to perform this kind of migration as a two-step process which includes:

1. Migrating from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003
2. Migrating from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007

Ok.. It’s not a technical post but it’s an interesting post about the new icon of Exchange Server 2007.

By now you’ve probably noticed that Exchange Server 2007 has a brand spankin’ new icon. Gone is the familiar “Globe and Mail” icon of Exchange versions past, replaced with a new, dynamic and somewhat abstract “X.” So how did we come up with this icon?

The MSExchangeTeam.com has published an entry about how we can set the Hub transport to receive and send e-mails to internet. Another interesting point is the possibility to add anti-spam features at hub transport using a built-in script located under scripts folders.

And we can see a new tab that doesn’t exist in the Beta2 to define the anonymous permissions.

Jim Edelen has posted about the process involving CAS and Mailbox server roles to distribute OAB through HTTP. In the Exhcange Server 2007 Beta 2 we have to enable this feature to use because it is not enable by default.

Exchange Server 2007 introduces a new mechanism for distributing Offline Address Books (OAB) that doesn’t require Public Folders. It instead uses HTTP(S) and the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS). There are several potential advantages of the new distribution mechanism including supporting more concurrent clients, reduced bandwidth usage, and more control over the distribution points. It is important to note that the new distribution mechanism requires Outlook 2007, but you can always choose to use both Public Folder Distribution and Web Based Distribution of OABs. That way, older clients can still access their OABs using Public Folders while Outlook 2007 clients can take advantage of the enhanced functionality.

In this MSExchangeTeam post we’ll understand how to configure OWA to allow larger messages.

By default, Exchange 2007 OWA will let you send attachments of up to 30 MB in size. Depending on your situation, you might want to either increase or decrease this number as we have a mechanism by which you can change the default upload limits of file attachments in OWA.

The MsExchange team has blogged a matrix with gui features removed versus reason and how we can do that in the Exchange Server 2007.

As discussed in the earlier blog post introducing the new Exchange 2007 console, the Exchange Management Console GUI has been completely redesigned in Exchange 2007. While redesigning the Exchange Management Console for Exchange 2007, we used specific ground rules to help guide what features and settings should be exposed in the console and how the console itself should be built. These guidelines allowed us to ensure that we had designed a rich, functional tool that wasn’t overwhelming and complex. It also ensured a console where additional feature GUI could be added to respond more effectively to customer requests.
