A loud "Wahooo!" for the Exchange team! Especially the increase of the storage limit is a big step in the right direction! I also would love to help in getting the release as bug-free as possible... :-) cnschindler@gmx.net

THANKS FOR THE GREAT WORK!!! E23k has been a dream to install, maintain, and support.

What about Office Communicator and Live Communication Server? Are there any great tie ins on the horizon?
It would be great to see all communication brought into one interface Email, IM, phone, smoke signal, etc and still include all the ability and collaboration that Exchange includes.

Thanks for all the effort in growing the online support community this last year. I can not begin to convey how much of a difference it has made supporting Exchange. Thanks again.

What ever happened to the Exchange Partner Developer Prog?

Tim Carmichael — Thu, 09 Jun 2005 15:17:52 GMT

There used to be an exceptionally good partner program on Betaplace, especially around SP1 timeframe, which got us testing our Exchange bits pre-relase, semms like the program just vanished.

Super, I am looking forward to the new and better OAB sync, we have actually disabled it in our O2K3 deployment. But there is another thing which makes the users much unhappier, and not only them. We have decided to force them to use cache mode, so they cache as much as possible before we will move them across the WAN. The problem is that the offline store is filled backwards, I mean the oldest emails first, what really doesn't makes sin, the people need the newest mails first to be able to work. We have tought we disable the cache mode soon after O2K3 deployment and check the “Automatically Send and Receive …every 5 minutes” checkbox to allow users see the mailbox online and sync the offline store. But unfortunately we weren’t able to find easy way to change these settings remotely (netlogon, SMS). All has to be done manual through the GUI in outlook options.
Everything will be much easier if the cached mode saves the newest emails in the offline store first. lubomir.hozak@email.cz

re: Exchange 2003 SP2

Ian Murphy — Tue, 21 Jun 2005 22:03:17 GMT

Great news - the 16gb limit was far too small. The only problem now is how to manage with these new huge monolithic edb files. They've got to be broken up! Why can't we have an edb per mailbox or something similar?

I cannot even imagine trying to defragment a 50gb edb file in one go.

While I'm here I'd also like to request that some work be done on eseutil to make it more eficient, on the systems I administer it doesn't manage to top out cpu, network or disk speeds, the program itself seems to have a bottleneck. Ideally it should work at 100% cpu or 100% disk speed... close to the speed of a file copy.

regards

Ian

Shawn Anderson — Wed, 22 Jun 2005 02:50:47 GMT

Any chance there was a fix for the 32k limit to rules???? Considering the massive amount of emails that are received now days, this limit is absurd.

Any way, here is hoping :)

You know I hope you fix somethimng else that I believe is a huge oversight. If you accept a meeting request and there is an attachemnt (like a GIF of a map for directions or a DOC with agenda items), the atttachment doesn NOT sync with the appointment on the device (I've tried both DELL and HP PPC2003 2nd edt). This has nothing to do with limiting size of an attachment as many believe. If there is an attachemnt in the calendar item, it should come down to the device.

It would be great to see in enlarged too.

Hi Terry,
I would really appreciate to start testing the SP2. I am more interrested in the integration with its Push and Security functionality.

Can you please advise if Microsoft is taking the responsability to allign all partners (palmOne...) to develop the solution on different mobile platforms or this will be an open green field approach.
