ServerManager Depreciated?

danielke — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 20:46:07 GMT

ServerManagerCmd is deprecated in R2 (we are trying to move away from that model although it still works) See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691354(EXCHG.140).aspx#WS08R2 (The new command is now Add-WindowsFeature)

Transport Rules

danielke — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 14:46:27 GMT

Whilst working for a customer they had a specific requirement to apply a disclaimer to all outbound mail e.g. not to apply disclaimers to mail sent to other users within the Exchange organisation. Their requirement also included to only apply the disclaimer if it had not already been applied (or where it contained the same text). So i created a powershell script to do this:-

Get-TransportRulePredicate SubjectOrBodyContains

$Action = get-TransportRuleAction ApplyDisclaimer

$Action.Text = “my test disclaimer”

Get-TransportRulePredicate SubjectOrBodyContains

$Exception = Get-TransportRulePredicate SubjectOrBodyContains

$Exception.Words = @("My test disclaimer”)

$Condition = Get-TransportRulePredicate SentToScope

$Condition.Scope = "NotInOrganization"

New-TransportRule –Name “My test” –Action @($Action) –Exception @($Exception) –Condition @($Condition)

E14 is coming!!

danielke — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 20:26:00 GMT

Take a look at the video from our lead Program Manager (Exchange product team) about the next release of Exchange called code name E14.

This is the 1^st version of Exchange that been written for Software as a Service SaS. At Microsoft we run we our own software in a dogfood environment to allow us to test our products. Since this release (as mentioned above) has been designed for SaS we’ve needed to scale the product above and beyond our internal infrastructure.

Universities are now running E14 on Exchange Labs which has allowed us to scale and test features of the product, which is running with 3.5 million users in over 15 organisations

The video gives you a little demo on:-

· Outlook Client

· OWA

· Outlook mobile

One of the real benefits is E14 is that it saves you money in these challenging financial times!

Still loads more to come, so stand by for more videos!
