Jim McBee, blogger e Exchange MVP, tem andado ocupado a escrever um eBook intitulado The Tips and Tricks Guide to Secure Messaging.
Embalado pelo meus 2 últimos posts - Leitura de fim-de-semana e Biblioteca online de Exchange - venho pois convidar que se dediquem à leitura do capítulo diponibilizado online.
Férias, férias, férias! Para mim, claro ;-)
Existe muita documentação sobre Exchange disponível na Internet. A equipa de Exchange da Microsoft é sem dúvida muito activa neste campo.
No entanto, não há nada como o cheiro a papel e o prazer de desfolhar um livro técnico bem grosso. Infelizmente o preço destas "bíblias" técnicas nem sempre é o mais apelativo. Felizmente existem muitos autores que disponibilizam amostras dos seus trabalhos através da disponibilização de capítulos inteirinhos.
Fazendo alguma pesquisa na Internet consegue-se reunir uma boa colecção destas prendas, uma verdadeira biblioteca online de Exchange.

Muito trabalho, realização profissional e um ambiente descontraído são algumas das coisas que oferecemos.
Está disponível uma nova actualização para o filtro Junk E-mail do Outlook 2003.
O download está disponível aqui ou através do Microsoft Update. Como é habitual, está acompanhado pelo respectivo artigo da Knowledge Base:"This update provides the Junk E-mail Filter in Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 with a more current definition of which e-mail messages should be considered junk e-mail."
A Microsoft aproveitou a conferência 3GSM World Congress a decorrer em Barcelona para fazer alguns anúncios sobre a sua plataforma móvel. As novidades prendem-se sobretudo com a funcionalidade direct push e-mail disponível com o SP2 do Exchange Server 2003: a Vodafone e a T-Mobile vão passar a disponibilizar este serviço aos seus clientes.
Mais uma bela colecção de artigos e notícias. Gostava de salientar a última notícia desta lista: numa altura em que se fala muito da solução da BlackBerry e das funcionalidades de push email do SP2 do Exchange, a Dataviz lançou um produto que é baseado no protocolo ActiveSync e que garante as mesmas funcionalidades. Este produto pode ser muito interessante na medida em que está vocacionado para dispositivos Symbian, o OS de referência dos produtos Nokia.
Foi recentemente disponibilizada pela Microsoft uma actualização dos SDK's de Exchange 2000 e 2003.
The Exchange 2000/2003 Server SDK Documentation and Samples assist developers building applications for Exchange 2000 Server. This release of the SDK provides new and updated information and sample code to help you develop collaborative enterprise applications with Exchange. Included in this release are updates to the SDK documentation, tasks for implementing managed store event sinks, procedures for building managed event sink DLLs, and a task for getting free/busy status over HTTP.
"Microsoft Corp. today announced that Sony Ericsson has licensed the Exchange ActiveSync protocol to enable more secure, wireless direct synchronization between Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and Sony Ericsson’s P990 and M600 phones. This solution will help provide mobile workers with anywhere access to their complete Exchange Server 2003 information, including e-mail, calendar and contacts. For organizations that have deployed Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2, additional mobile enhancements such as Direct Push are also supported, providing instant access to newly received e-mail messages. Both of the new phones will be available in the second quarter of 2006."
Aqui está o link para a Press-Release completa.
Aposto que isto também acontece com todos vocês ;-)
Para a próxima vez que alguém vos pedir este tipo de ajuda já sabem qual é a resposta a dar.
Uma lista à medida dos leitores mais ocupados: pequena, mas cheia de conteúdo ;-)
Não foram só algumas ferramentas que foram alvo de actualizações. O "Exchange Server 2003 Security Hardening Guide" acaba de ser revisto e está agora na versão 2.2.
É um excelente documento para quem se preocupa com as questões de segurança (quem é que não se preocupa nos dias que correm?).
A Microsoft acaba de disponibilizar ferramentas para o Exchange Server, algumas são novas, outras sofreram pequenas actualizações:
A Microsoft anunciou ontem num comunicado que as equipas de Exchange e de Real-Time Collaboration (RTC) serão fundidas, dando lugar ao Unified Communications Group (UCG).
Segundo o gigante informático, esta fusão não terá qualquer impacto nos produtos presentemente em desenvolvimento, nomeadamente o Exchange "12".

Mais uma semana, mais um exame feito (o 70-298, que me conferiu a especialização MCSE:Security), mais uma lista:
Os Estados Unidos voltam a liderar a lista dos países responsáveis pelo envio da maior quantidade de correio não solicitado, apesar de terem baixado significativamente a sua quota (no ano passado era cerca de 42%). Eis a lista completa da "dirty dozen", segundo um relatório da SOPHOS:
| 24,5% 22,3% 9,7% 5,0% 3,0% 2,6% 2,5% 2,4% 2,1% 2,0% 2,0% 1,8% |
| Others | 20,3% |
Nota pessoal: realizei hoje o exame da Microsoft 70-299 e passei :-)
E agora, a lista, desta vez a tempo e horas:
Aqui vos deixo um re-post da informação recolhida no blog da Eileen Brown:
