Hello folks,
Microsoft Canada has a great blog for IT Professionals that is the IT Pro Connection (http://blogs.technet.com/canitpro) and last April 18th Sasha Krsmanovic blogged about a tool that we spoke here in this blog before: Exchange Server Remote Connectivity Analyzer and he also added a video about the tool. Good stuff!

Hello folks,
In this new Exchange Server version PowerShell got a lot of new tricks! :) We can use Windows PowerShell Command Log to track down all the cmdlets used in Exchange Management Console in detail. To enable the functionality click on View.. in the Toolbox Actions and click on View Windows PowerShell Command Log...
Let's click on Action menu item and then on Start Command Logging
Time to play with Exchange Management Console, let's navigate on some roles properties, user properties, and so forth. Afterwards, let's go back to View WindowsPowerShell Command Log and we will be able to see all cmdlets performed during our last trip to the Exchange Management Console. For each cmdlet ran in background we can see the status, start and end execution time and the details of that command. We can stop this trace clicking on Action and Stop Command Logging

Hello folks,
A nice feature of the new Exchange Server 2010 (former E14) is the Show Exchange Management Shell command which is a small button located on the left corner of Exchange Management Console and we can see that
Let's play with this feature, let's get properties of any user and change any attribute, in our example, we are going to tick the option Hide from Exchange address listand after that we can hit the Show Exchange Management Shell Command button and we will see all changes that will be performed in background when you click OK or Apply buttons. We can also use this feature to figure out attributes names easily.
Here is the cmdlet that will run based in our last change.
We can also navigate across different tabs and change settings, when we click on the Show Exchange Management Shell command we will be able to see all changes that will be performed.
