So after the release of Rollup Update 5, wouldn't it be nice if you could run a simple PowerShell script to check all your exchange servers and see what Rollup they have applied

Well now you can ;-) get-exchangeserverplus.ps1

24 Hours of Exchange Server 2007

flaphead — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 20:50:00 GMT

It actually started last week, but here are the 24 x1 hour sessions. A bit like the TV series I suppose, so that would make Harold Wong our version of Jack Bauer, but Harold is saving the world by spreading the love & adoption of Exchange 2007 ;-)

CDO and daylight savings change in GMT - potential issues next week!

flaphead — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 18:11:11 GMT

Junners reminded me of this, 910268 Meetings are unexpectedly moved one hour ahead in the last week of October in Exchange Server 2003

Typically there are only four Sundays in October so normally this is not a problem, however in certain years there are five and 2006 is one of them. So after next Sunday we may get calls that appointments are 1 hour out, especially from customers using Blackberry. You’ll be pleased to know that the next occurrence of this issue won’t happen until 2010, 2011 and 2016. Also a supported hotfix is now available from Microsoft.

NB: You must install Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) before you apply the hotfix

E-mail authentication is as essential to e-mail hygiene strategy as it is to building online trust. This webcast outlines the myths and realities of Sender ID, an industry-wide approach to dealing with the problem of e-mail spoofing and phishing. In this webcast we show how the results of Sender ID must be included in the overall e-mail trustworthiness score. Learn the importance of adding reputation to identity, and see how this improves deliverability of legitimate mail, detection of phishing exploits and reduces the occurrence of false positives. This presentation includes a review of industry momentum and progress around anti-spam and anti-phishing efforts. The webcast also shows examples of creating records, and discusses various complementary e-mail authentication approaches.
