Hello folks,
I received this question a couple of times before and it might help who face this following scenario: The Administrator has just deleted an user and he wants to update the list of the disconnected mailbox in the Exchange Management Console to play with the disconnected mailbox but the user is not there. Using Exchange Server 2003 we have just to right-click on Mailbox under Mailbox Database and click on Run Cleanup agent option and the disconnected mailbox will show up but how about Exchange Server 2007?
It's a piece of cake :) but in order to do that we have to use the following cmdlet, as it follows
clean-mailboxdatabase <mailbox database name>
More information about clean-mailboxdatabase cmdlet: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124076(EXCHG.80).aspx
After running this cmdlet against your mailbox database, you will be able to see the user that was recently deleted on the disconnected mailboxes list.

Hello folks,
The UC (Unified Communications) initiative integrates Exchange Server 2007, OCS, Office 2007 and so forth.. Some of the OCS clients are able to get information from Exchange 2007 web services. The communicator team have blogged about how this integration works by Communicator client.
In the Unified Communications (UC) world 2 types of clients access Exchange 2007 Web Services (EWS) running in Client Access server role (CAS). These two clients are Office Communicator 2007 (OC) and Office Communicator 2007 Phone Edition (OCPE). The Office Live Meeting client, Communicator Web Access and Office Communicator Mobile do not access EWS.
OC uses EWS only if the user is running Outlook 2007 on the desktop with mailbox running on Exchange 2007. OC uses EWS only to access Out Of Facility (OOF) Note and Calendar data. More information about OC can be found here.
OCPE uses AutoDiscover and EWS on the CAS servers. It uses AutoDiscover to locate EWS. OCPE refreshes AutoDiscover information every 24 hours. EWS is used to fetch Outlook Contacts, Voice Mails and Call Logs for the signed in user. OCPE uses EWS only if the signed-in user is enabled for Enterprise Voice and Exchange 2007 UM. If the user is not enabled for Exchange 2007 UM OCPE will not show the tabs for Voice Mails and Call logs.

Hello folks,
Exchange Server 2007 allows us to delegate a server installation to an account only for installation purposes without give exchange administrative permissions to an account just for one installation. The installation delegate can be used after the firt exchange server 2007 has been installed. The permission required to delegate an Exchange Server installation is Exchange Organization Administrator role, and the user responsible for the remote installation will receive Exchange Server Administrator rights on that server.
Delegating an Exchange server Installation
To delegate an Exchange installation we will use the setup utillity using the following syntax:
setup /nprs:<new server where exchange server 2007 will be installed> /sa:<user that will be responsible for that specific installation>
Note: nprs (new provisioned server) and sa (Server Admin)
After that we will be able to see the new server in our list of Exchange Server and for now his "role" will be Provisioned. There
Removing a provisionend server installation
In order to remove a provisioned server, we can run setup /nprs:<provisioned server name>, as shown in the following figure:

Hello folks,
There is a list with all available UM Language Packs for Exchange Server 2007, you can check this out at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/exchange/bb330845.aspx
After downloading the file we can add it to our current UM server, using the following command:
Setup.com /AddUMLanguagePack:<Language Code-Country> /S:<source directory where the Language Pack was installed>
In the figure below I'm installing Canadian French support to the UM Server, after that we can start play with Auto Attendant and Dial Plan using the new language.
