Top Reasons for choosing Exchange 2007

Microsoft has improved their server offering dramatically since its initial release of version 4.0 in 1996. Over the years there have been vast improvements in the collaboration, messaging, and software development. With each release of Exchange 2007, sales have increased considerably as the server offered additional network improvements, surpassing other legacy programs such as IBM Notes, Novell GroupWise, and hard-to-manage Send Mail (Linux)—In fact, Microsoft Exchange Server is now the de-facto standard these servers attempt to achieve.

Ø Increased improvement in email communication and security.

Advantages of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007

Microsoft Exchange Server offers incredible reliability, stability, and continuity to your email based messaging platform. In addition to email, Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 is now a complete Unified Messaging solution, delivering email, voice, and data communications directly to the Outlook client. Exiis Corporation was the first to order the latest release of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007; in fact, we had to wait for Exchange Server 2007 media to be produced before we could deploy it in many of our client’s systems. Since Exiis Corporation is an official Exchange Server Beta Team member and a Microsoft Certified Partner, we actually assisted in the troubleshooting and design of Exchange Server 2007, understanding its many advancements and improvements long before any other integrator. Our commitment to Exchange and the entire line of Microsoft Products and Technologies makes us the ideal Partner for your Microsoft and Cisco based systems.

Unified Messaging and Outlook Anywhere Technologies

Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5, Exchange Server 2000, and Exchange Server 2003 have demonstrated extreme improvements for the corporate messaging environment. With Each release, Microsoft has shown its continued dedication to creating a server that combines the best in email messaging, collaboration, and regulatory compliance. Exchange Server 2007 brings together the entire organizations messaging system and places it into a comprehensive, single solution. This provides the capability of delivering email, voice, fax, and telephone voice messages directly to the users Outlook client, which can be accessed via email, phone, or mobile device.

High Availability and Reliability

Microsoft has introduced two new concepts with the latest release of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007: Local Continuous Replications (LCS) and Cluster Continuous Replication (CLR). LCS allows for a local, real-time copy of the Exchange Server database to be maintained on another partition of server disk in the event the Microsoft Exchange Information Store database becomes corrupted to should the location of the Information Store databases fail. By having a continuous copy of the database, administrators can quickly and easily retrieve the Information Store, literally within a few minutes. CLR allows for a remote storage location of the Information Store on another server or another location anywhere in the nation, which provides for fail-over activation should the original Exchange Server become unavailable. This allows email to be available 24/7 regardless of the condition of the original Exchange Server.

New Server Roles and Functions

Microsoft has introduce a new infrastructure to Microsoft Exchange messaging—the concept of “Server Roles”. Server roles allow administrators and Exchange architects to divide server services between two or more Exchange Servers which provides for additional redundancy, divides server services between servers, and allows for a more flexible messaging plan. For example, The Exchange Edge Transport Server allows administrators to safeguard their internal messaging platform by providing anti-spam, phishing, and anti-virus protection at the perimeter of the messaging network, preventing these attacks and threats before they enter the organization.

Advanced Management Console

The advancements in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 extend beyond the concept of server roles and move straight into the new administration console, which provides advanced wizards that ease the over-all burden of managing your Exchange Organization. Administrators familiar with Microsoft Wizards can quickly and easily manage their users, resources, conference rooms without having to setup special processes as needed with earlier versions of Exchange. For the advanced Exchange administrator, Microsoft has introduced the Exchange System Power Shell which allows for even greater control of Exchange at a command shell level. Many processes that are not available in the Microsoft Exchange Administrator’s console can be performed from the command-line level.

Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Web Access (OWA)

Microsoft has redesigned the way Outlook users interact with their Exchange Server. In the past, new users to the Exchange Server and Outlook had to spend a considerable amount of time configuring their Outlook client to communicate with their Exchange Server. Oftentimes, the desire to synchronize in real time over the Internet using RPC over HTTPS was painstakingly difficult to achieve and administrate. Today, Outlook 2007 automatically configures itself to the Exchange Server, requiring nothing more than an email address and a password. Once the user provides this information, Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 automatically enters the remaining information necessary for the end-user to begin using Outlook in real-time. Users of other operating systems, such as Apple Macintosh, UNIX, or Linux can now enjoy the collaboration features of Exchange and Outlook by accessing the web-based Outlook client, Outlook Web Access (OWA). Outlook Web Access has improved dramatically ocer the years and closely imitates the Outlook application client.

Additional Information for Members Only

Microsoft Consulting Server 2007 does not natively support earlier Outlook clients; by design, it supports Outlook 2007 and later. This is due to the new design structure of Consulting 2007 in preparation for phasing out the older Public Folder design.

Earlier Outlook clients depend on the following Public Folders for functionality:

1)    Offline address book distribution

2)    Free/busy lookups

3)    Organizational form library

4)    Outlook Security settings

As part of the continuing support for Public Folders and earlier Outlook clients, Public Folders can be manually created and utilized.

Outlook 2000 and earlier clients are no longer be supported by Microsoft.

Public Folders will not be supported after 2016.

CAUSE

During the initial installation of Consulting Server 2007, the administrator answered “No” when asked if he had any client computers running Outlook 2003 or Entourage clients in the organization.

RESOLUTION

Public Folders can be created from within the Microsoft Consulting 2007 Management Console.

Step 1: Create a Public Folder Database

For Outlook 2003 and earlier, a public folder database is required for Offline Address Book (OAB) distribution.

To create a Public Folder Database:

· Go to Database Management.

· If there is no public folder database, select a storage group where you want to create the public folder database.

· In the Action Pane, select the "New Public Folder Database" link

· Complete the New Public Folder Database wizard.

Step 2: Configure the Default Offline Address Book

The default offline address book (OAB) must be configured for public folder distribution and for version 3 and version 4 of OAB generation (you can choose only version 4 if all of your client computers are running Outlook 2003 SP2 or later).

To Configure the Default Offline Address Book:

· Go to Offline Address Book Management.

· Select "Default Offline Address Book".

· In the Action Pane, click the "Properties" link.

· Click the "Distribution" tab.

· Select the "Enable Public Folder Distribution" check box.

· Select the boxes under "Client Support" that correspond to the Outlook versions in your organization.

Microsoft is positioning to replace public folders with mail-enabled document libraries based on Windows SharePoint Technology. For additional information, visit: http://moss.exiis.net/about-sharepoint/Pages/default.aspx

Setting and managing the size of tracking and audit logs can prevent using unnecessary disk space on your Consulting 2007 Server. On occasion, there may be a need to increase or decrease these settings in accordance to your organizations requirements.

Setting the size of these files can be accomplished using the Microsoft Consulting Management Power Shell.

For Directory Space Allocated to Message Tracking

· MessageTrackingLogMaxDirectorySize

For Managed Folder Audit Logs

· LogDirectorySizeLimitForManagedFolders

Each setting you apply is considered to be separate of each other—in other words, if you set tracking limits to 500MB and folder audit to 500MB—the total disk space usage is 1GB per database; if you have three databases you total disk requirements would be three gigabytes.

Size Limitations You Can Assign

You can assign any amount of space to your tracking and audit logs limited only to the amount of free disk space available using any unit of measurement. For example:

· Unlimited=Unlimited

· B=Bytes

· KB=Kilobytes

· MB=Megabytes

· GB=Gigabytes

· TB=Terabytes

MessageTrackingLogMaxDirectorySize Parameter

To use this parameter, open the Microsoft Consulting 2007 Management Power Shell and type the following command:

Set-TransportServer Computer_Name –MessageTrackingLogMaxDirectorySize DirectorySize

For example, to set the directory size to 500MB, the command would be:

Set-TransportServer Consulting ServerName –MessageTrackingLogMaxDirectorySize 500MB

LogDirectorySizeLimitForManagedFolders Parameter

To use this parameter, open the Microsoft Consulting 2007 Management Power Shell and type the following command:

Set-MailboxServer –LogDirectorySizeLimitForManagedFolders DirectorySize

For example, to set the managed folder size to 500MB, the command would be:

Set-MailboxServer –LogDirectorySizeLimitForManagedFolders 500MB
