I’ve had a number of clients ask me whether this was possible, especially the ‘restrict contractors to just certain domains’ part. This is definitely worthwhile knowledge that you should run through in your Exchange 2010 lab. You do have a lab running Exchange 2010, right? (Not that I’m anyone to talk about it, I have a [...]

Also tagged Exchange 2010Last Thursday night I had the distinct privilege of participating in a real life Exchange 2010 disaster recovery scenario. Roughly 41,000 mailboxes on 22 databases had the DAG ripped out from underneath them accidentally.

Also tagged Exchange 2010Looks like the release candidate is available for download. I must admit I’m kind of curious why they are supporting it on 2008 RTM, you’ll have a much better experience on 2008 R2. Especially if you plan on doing an in-place upgrade.

There are some interesting statements in their FAQs, I’ve linked the one that I find the most laughable below.
