Hello Everybody,
Follow the key points showed yesterday (17/Mar/2006) in the Webcast called Client Access and Web Services in Exchange “12” (Level 200):
- new OWA interface
- new resources in that interface, example: auto-complete, fast search, conversation view, notifications
- beautiful interface :D
- auto-updating views (mail, calendar, contacts)
- language setting is a user preference, not tied to browser language
- gzip won't dependent on forms based authentication
- We can access sharepoint and file server throughOWA because it works like a proxy (read-only access)
- resource mailbox can be create in Active Directory, that resource mailbox has a specific address list
- automated management of resource calendars with Auto-Accept Agent
- OOF (Out-of-Office) powerful and flexible (we have news features: internal and external OOF and start time and end time)
- Services of calendar are deploy with client access server rule
- Free/busy information now be in Mailbox not in a public folder
- New acronym: OVA Outlook Voice Access
- Administration features: fully integrated with Exchange, all messages stored in one maibox (e-mail, voice and fax); single directory infrastructure, single point of administration
All the best,

Hello Everybody,
Follow the resume of webcast Giving the Administrator More Control in Exchange “12” (Level 200) shown yesterday (15/Mar/2006), here are the key points of the presentation:
- reduce complexity compared to Exchange 2003, the same task on E12 (one line) in 2003 (twenty lines), get-mailboxstatistics -server $servername
- explanation about cmdlets: verb+nom, example: get-excommand
- structure of monad in exchange 12
- Guis is very intuitive
- improvements in GUI (Graphical User Interface): management organized by server role, action pane, toolbox section has great tools for example: ExBPA and Queue Viewer
- the model of new interface, all taks in Exchange System Manager are translate to Monad commands (cmdlets), now all administration tasks can be made by Monad :D
- we can install e12 by command line, it's easy and flexible
- I wrote cool switchs showed in webcast:
- test-servicehealth
- get-mailbox | group database
- get-somethingXXX | out-chart (very cool!)
- -whatif :checks syntax and variables in the command-line)
- -validateonly: tests the command about rights, tests that the variable data is correct , report what action will be taken
- Now, we can create reports in multiple formats: .csv, html and charts
- Monas has default security: three levels, signed scripts, runs only locally by default and files with .msh extensions can not run automatically
All the best,
