This morning, we signed off Exchange 2007 for release to you!

We've bet the company on this product. Here at Microsoft, we have over 120,000 mailboxes running in production on Exchange 2007 – exceeding our SLA of 99.95% availability. Likewise, over 200 Technology Adoption Partners and Rapid Deployment Partners have over 55,000 mailboxes in production operating within their enterprise SLA’s.

In addition to taking the time to ensure this software was rock solid for you, we've invested more time in documentation and deployment guidance than we have for any other release previously. Please do check it out and let us know if we're missing something you need.

Thank you for all of your support, feedback, and patience during this journey by our team. We are committed to working with you on successful deployments in the coming months and years.

On behalf of the entire Exchange team, thank you for choosing Exchange.

We can expect the final bits on MSDN/Technet/MSVLS soon

A Microsoft finalizou a migração interna de todos os seus servidores Exchange para a plataforma 64 bits, com o Exchange Server 2007. Isto representa um ganho em escalabilidade fenomenal, significando para o usuário final mailboxes maiores e mais velozes.

O bacana é que foi disponibilizado uma série de documentos e webcasts explicando quais as melhores práticas desta migração, os motivos de negócios, as soluções tecnológicas, etc. Vale a pena analisar:

Antigamente eu costumava usar quase que diariamente um site que muitos de vocês já devem ter recorrido à busca de ajuda: Sysinternals (www.sysinternals.com).

Havia ali tantas ferramentas úteis que era difícil náo ficar impressionado. Monitoramento de arquivos, registry (qual a chave de registry que está sendo alterada por determinado arquivo e/ou processo), utilitários de disco, recuperação, etc.

Algum tempo atrás, a Microsoft contratou os responsáveis pelo site para serem funcionários e incorporou todas essas ferramentas no site do Technet, centralizando a busca e procura por informações e ferramentas. Isto é muito bom, pois alguns kb's da Microsoft são de troubleshooting e essas ferramentas são uma mão na roda.

Pra conhece-las, visite este LINK

Uma ferramenta que recomendo é a Filemon. Vale a pena conferir. E se você quiser saber mais a respeito, visite o blog do pessoal que mantém as ferramentas: http://blogs.technet.com/sysinternals/

Pós Teched.... ressaca, já ouviu falar :)... pois bem, estamos colocando as coisas em dia. Agora é a hora de saber o que funcionou, o que não, analisar alguns comentários que foram feitos em off e tentar melhorar pro ano que vem.

Neste momento, as fichas de avaliação estão sendo processadas, para que tenhamos a nota geral do evento, tabulemos os comentários e saibamos como os palestrantes se saíram. Após isto conseguimos ter uma visão melhor do evento. A idéia é ter agradado o maior número de pessoas possível.

Ah, apenas um detalhe: muitas pessoas vem me perguntando qual era o comando que mostrei no Windows Longhorn Server Core para ajustar o IP da placa de rede via prompt (que pode ser usado em outros OS aos aficcionados por prompt):

netsh interface IPV4 set address name = "local area connection" source=static 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1

e pra voltar sendo DHCP:

netsh interface IPV4 set address name = "local area connection" source=DHCP.

Valeu !!!!
