    Exchange 2010 SP3 RollUp 8 Version 2 (V2) is now released ! Link below. 

     

    Update on 12th December from the Exchange Team Blog:

    Exchange Server 2010 SP3 Update Rollup 8 has been re-released to the Microsoft download center resolving a regression discovered in the initial release. The update RU8 package corrects the issue which impacted users connecting to Exchange from Outlook. The issue was insulated to the MAPI RPC layer and was able to be isolated to quickly deliver the updated RU8 package. The updated RU8 package is version number 14.03.0224.002 if you need to confirm you have the updated package. The updates for Exchange Server 2013 and 2007 were not impacted by this regression and have not been updated.

  • Useful for your Lab and your production servers remote management - Remote Desktop Manager v2.7 is out !

     

    YaY, public version big jumping from v2.2 to v2.7 for many cool features and fixes, thanks Julian Burger, Microsoft Application Developper !

    Quote from the site:

    RDCMan manages multiple remote desktop connections. It is useful for managing server labs or large server farms where you need regular access to each machine such as automated checkin systems and data centers. It is similar to the built-in MMC Remote Desktops snap-in, but more flexible.

    The RDCMan 2.7 version is a major feature release.

    New features include:

    • Virtual machine connect-to-console support
    • Smart groups
    • Support for credential encryption with certificates
    • Windows 8 remote action support
    • Support for Windows 8, Windows 8.1 / Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2
