Are books a thing of the past? The Microsoft Exchange team releases more and more in depth infomration regarding Exchange 2007 (not to mention the articles on this website). So, it makes me wonder: Why would anyone buy an outdated already on release Exchange 2007 book?

Any how a bit more on the filtering capabilies in Exchange 2007 here:

Centro is a sort of the new version of SBS, but possibly a bit more flexible, targeted to businesses with less than 250 computers. I always felt SBS was best for up to 25 ccomputers, the hardware and software too heavy for more, but now you would be able to build a mammoth 64-bit server with giga+ network card that would be able to support more coomputers. What about redundancy? There are answers to this in the hardware department (not cheap though) and Microsoft will no doubt have answers.

A nice article on the MSExchange team blog regarding coexistence and new features of the Exchange 2007 availabiliy service.

I am really happy with the new features of Exchange 2007 and am pretty anxious to deploy it with Office 2007 and will do so once both products are out. I will have to wait for Hebrew Office 2007 as for some reason people here prefer it over English.

I am already anxious to migrate myself and w

Really? Meetings are suddenly moved? The culprit here is again, as  I mentioned in a previous post, is the time zone settings.

Surprisingly enough, the fix for this is still not public, and can only be obtained from Microsoft PSS, albeit for free. Also, it seems that Microsoft is no longer writing fixes for Exchange 2003 SP1 and RTM but still writing crucial fixes for Exchange 5.5.

It appears that Tech ED Europe, due 14-17 November 2006 is sold out, but who needs these freebees and hotel pools when you can browse most of the material online anyways!

The Microsoft Exchange team are both showing off and giving some nice tips regarding their new GUI interface for Exchange 2007.

As you might have heard, Internet Explorer 7 is out and has a few issues with Outlook Web Access. The S/MIME control, for example, stops working. You can download a fix for this problem here:

Still anxious and fidgety about moving towards the first ever 64-Bit version of Exchange? Get the lowdown with a detailed explanation, downloadable on Microsoft’s web site here:

For now, it seems as if 64-bit will become the standard operating system for servers while 32-bit Windows XP/Vista will remain the majoer operating system at least until 2010 when all software and hardware vendors catch up. Personally I would love to run my memory and I/O hungry graphics applications on 64-bit but this might take a while. My Exchange server will run faster but I am not sure how much this will really benefit clients who get good enough service these days. For larger Exchange shops, however, migration will be a very smart move worth the money.

Variable daylight saving time sucks. Here in Israel it causes problems every year. Meetings are missed, IT staff go over all their systems, and clock owners go berserk. Since Outlook appointments are relative, changing the clock affects their schedule, especially in a multi-national organization.

So, how to fix this? The Microsof Exchange posts about this issue, focusing on Brazil (I wish they would focus on Israel, but you can’t really have it all).

OAB is one of the component that is getting a big boot with Exchange 2007, including the ability to use it without needing public folder (and public folder replication). The change is partially due to the long term plan of Microsoft to get rid of Public Folders and replacing them with Sharepoint as the main collaboration tool. Not to worry though, web download of OAB is only available for now with Outlook 2007 and public folders will be there at least until the next decade.
