Watch out for the Daleks
We're in Manchester today at the Science museum with another packed house for this part of the Exchange unplugged tour. It was really great to meet up with Guy yesterday who is a regular contributor to my blog, it's always great to put faces to names at events.
There's a Dalek exhibit here at the moment, so I need to skip out of presenting and come face to face with my heroes this afternoon.
Some interesting questions too - especially one about WMI that was remarkably like a question on my blog the other day. Mark asked:
On the technet site it states that "many WMI classes are available for Microsoft Exchange 2007".. then on the SDK page it says that WMI support is not shipping and has been removed from the product..
Why would Microsoft do something so stupid as to prevent management of their product?
Well the reason is that WMI manages 32 bit hardware (Exchange is 64 bit only in production), and although Exchange 2007 does expose some WMI classes, the best way to manage Exchange 2007 is through Powershell cmdlets. Or you can use MOM of course...
I'll blog all the links that we've talked about on this tour in tomorrows posting as I'm off to see the little exterminators now...
