Hi folks,
If you are planning to deploy Exchange Server 2010 SP1 Rollup Update 4, please don't do it, check this out:
Update 7/14/11: When contacting Microsoft Customer Support to obtain the Interim Update, you can reference KB 2581545 (please note that the article will be available at a later date on support.microsoft.com).
We have discovered an issue impacting some customers who have installed Exchange 2010 SP1 RU4 into their Exchange environment and as a result have removed SP1 RU4 from Download Center and recommend customers do not proceed with any planned deployments of SP1 RU4.
A small number of customers have reported when the Outlook client is used to move or copy a folder that subfolders and content for the moved folder are deleted. After investigation we have determined that the folder and item contents do not appear in the destination folder as expected but may be recovered from the Recoverable Items folder (what was previously known as Dumpster in older versions of Exchange) from the original folder. This behavior occurs due to a customer requested change in SP1 RU4 which allowed deleted Public Folders to be recovered. Outlook and Exchange are not correctly processing the folder move and copy operations causing the folder contents to appear to be deleted. OWA and Exchange Web Services clients are not affected by this change and process the folder move or copy actions correctly.

Hi folks,
Brian Stucker created a really detailed article about the impact of Lync 2010 client on a Client Access Server.
The goal of this article is to give the reader an estimate of the relative impact that the Microsoft Lync 2010 desktop client has on the Microsoft Exchange 2010 Client Access server. This estimate can be used to determine the Exchange Server resources required to design a new or expand an existing Microsoft Lync Server 2010 deployment.

Hi folks,
Nice Technet Edge video about Windows Server 2008 R2 Failover capabilities in multi-site DR mode.
In this TechNet Edge video Technical Evangelist Symon Perriman walks through a real-world multi-site cluster deployment. While configuring a four-node disaster recovery demo, Symon recorded the steps and added slides showing the key deployment considerations.
Learn more about disaster recovery planning, networking, security, faster failover, DNS replication, the quorum model and PowerShell. See how Windows Server 2008 R2 Failover Clustering can provide not only high-availability, but also automatic disaster recovery.
