Exchange Management Shell Help Feedback

dstrome — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 07:20:32 GMT

As you know we're working on Exchange 14, the next version of Exchange Server. As part of that work we're taking a look at how we write content for all of the features of Exchange. I'm working on defining the guidelines for how we write the content for the Exchange Management Shell - what overview and procedural topics need to be written to what content we put into the individual cmdlet topics and how its displayed to you.

I'm really interested in what you think of the Exchange Management Shell help in Exchange Server 2007. What do you like about it? What do you, well, hate? Is it how it's displayed? Or are we missing something important that would make your life easier if we'd included it? Or did you discover something that just made things 'click' for you?

I want to know about it. Put together a wish list or list of things you love (or both!) and send them to me. I'll be taking your feedback and seeing how it can help us to improve the E14 product documentation. Some things will be easier to do and some will likely be harder so I can't promise everything you send to me can be addressed. But I will take everything you say seriously and work to align the shell help to meet your expectations.

The best way to send your feedback to me is to click on the Email link on the left side of this site. Or you can copy this URL into your address bar: http://blogs.technet.com/dstrome/contact.aspx. Please pass this blog post on to your colleagues and ask them to send their feedback too. The more the better.

Thanks!

David.

PS. Don't forget to send feedback on individual topics in the Exchange Server 2007 documentation library located here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124558.aspx. Click on the "Click to Rate and Give Feedback" link in the top right corner of the page. Every comment and rating you submit with that tool gets submitted directly into a database that we continually monitor. That link is the best way to get attention on topics that need work or to send kudos on topics you especially like.

Exchange Server 2003 Community Content

We recently enabled a new feature on our Exchange Server 2003 product documentation. A new "Community Content" section enables you to add content to our existing topics. Now you can add your own thoughts to a topic. Have you implemented something and have real-world insights into what people should expect? Have you found a better way to do something? Want to fill in details? Go ahead and add it to the topics. I'm pretty excited about this because you have the opportunity to share with your fellow administrators what you've learned while designing, implementing and operating your Exchange installations.

Right now it's enabled on Exchange Server 2003 to see what the response is. Depending on the response we'll add it to more content over time. I really hope you'll go and check it out and add your thoughts. You can access the Exchange Server 2003 documentation by clicking here: Exchange Server 2003 docs. At the bottom of the page, click on the Add Community Content link, register and then add your content.

And don't forget that you can submit feedback on all of our content. Just click on the "Click to rate and give feedback" link in the top right of the page, give it a rating and then provide your feedback. What's great is that every piece of feedback (that isn't spam :) that you leave is entered into a tracking database and assigned directly to the writer that owns the topic. We evaluate everything that's sent to us and if action is warranted, we will take it. Your feedback is extremely important to us.
