O blog You Had Me At EHLO tem um post interessante acerca deste Update Rollup, que faz uma chamada de atenção para 2 pontos importantes:

1. Fix for a security issue which has been assigned a severity rating of critical. More information about the issue can be found in the Microsoft Security Bulletin MS09-003.
2. Fix to allow Internet Explorer 8 to be used for Outlook Web Access (OWA) 2007. This does not include the OWA 2007 S/MIME control. We are still working on some changes in the control to make it work better with Internet Explorer 8. We will be releasing an updated version of the S/MIME control in a future rollup.

Novos conteúdos do Microsoft IT Showcase

 

Foram recentemente disponibilizados 2 documentos bastante interessantes da colecção Microsoft IT Showcase:

• Unified Communications Improves Business Outcomes, Lowers Costs, and Enhances Environmental Sustainability
  Microsoft IT used a business value framework developed by Forrester Research to more precisely measure the overall business impact and the return on investment of unified communications at Microsoft. The analysis showed that the UC solution was generating an ROI of 250 percent by enabling employees to save more than $218 million annually. The outcome and continued use of the analysis methodology justify further investments in UC technology.
• Addressing messaging threats with Forefront Security for Exchange Server
  In deploying the Exchange 2007-based messaging-protection solution, Microsoft IT used all messaging protection features of the Edge Transport server role and Forefront Security for Exchange Server to block, delete, reject, or quarantine unwanted messages.

Já agora, se tiverem tempo, leiam também estes 2 sobre virtualização:

• How Microsoft Designs the Virtualization Host and Network Infrastructure
  When challenged with optimizing its server infrastructure, Microsoft IT faces the same physical constraints, environmental sustainability challenges, and economic pressures as other enterprise organizations. Virtualization technologies and management products, such as the Hyper-V feature of Windows Server 2008 and System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008, allow Microsoft IT to deliver on two goals: support the business needs of Microsoft and build a foundation for the Dynamic IT initiative. Virtualization is a key component of this infrastructure optimization strategy and reduces cost and server provisioning time. At the same time, virtualization enhances server resource availability.

Vídeo sobre Exchange 14

Estou certo que, nesta altura, já todos terão lido sobre este video que faz o anúncio do Exchange 14, o nome de código da próxima versão do Microsoft Exchange Server. Mesmo assim, achei que devia blogar sobre o assunto :-)

“I recently had the opportunity to meet with KC Lemson and Jim Lucey to talk about Exchange 14. Jim talked in depth about Exchange Labs and how we use that to do large scalability testing of Exchange - we currently host 3.5 Million mailboxes on Exchange Labs. Jim also gives a brief demo of the user experience, showing how you have access to your mail and calendar via Outlook, the browser, or your mobile phone.
This video is the first in a series covering what's new in Exchange 14, check back over the coming months to see what else is new in the product.”

Mailbox Server Role Storage Requirements Calculator v16.3

O Ross Smith IV anunciou no Microsoft Exchange Team Blog que a ferramenta Mailbox Server Role Storage Requirements Calculator foi actualizada para a versão 16.3.

De acordo com a página de updates no blog You Had Me At EHLO, estas são as correcções/melhorias:

• We added the calculated (or user defined) read/write ratio per mailbox tier into the Storage Requirements Results User Mailbox Configuration table.
• We added the server's calculated database read I/O percentage value into the Storage Requirements Results Disk Space & Performance Requirements table.
• Since the Recovery Point Objective input question only dealt with SCR, we moved that from the Log Replication section to the Standby Continuous Replication Configuration table.
• We added a new message profile, Extra Heavy.  With this additional profile, we now have 5 available messaging profiles.

Para obter instruções detalhadas sobre a utilização da ferramenta, consultem Exchange 2007 Mailbox Server Role Storage Requirements Calculator.

Actualização do XML para o ExBPA

O Ananth Ramanathan acaba de anunciar no blog You Had Me At EHLO que está disponível uma nova actualização de XML para o Exchange Best Practices Analyzer (ExBPA).

"The update applies to the tools shipped with Exchange Server 2007 systems with Service Pack 1 applied. It is currently only available for English language servers at this time.

The following tools have received an updated set of rules:
1. Best Practices Analyzer
2. Disaster Recovery and Performance Troubleshooter

What is contained in the update?
The update contains mainly bug fixes for the above tools.

The BPA tool is also run automatically during setup and readiness checks. We have updated the prerequisites XML file for setup. So any Exchange setup launched on a machine connected to the Internet will download the updated prerequisites file to check for the correct prerequisites."
