Entretanto, enquanto lia o Henrik Walther Blog, reparei que estão disponíveis uma série de sessões, também sobre o Exchange Server 2010, que foram apresentadas no TechEd USA e que agora podem ser vistas pelo público em geral:
Mantendo o modelo e o entusiasmo das Exclusive Sessions de Março-Maio 2009, trazemos-lhe agora a 1ª Technical Community Preview do Exchange Server 2010, um tema recorrente nas sugestões que temos recebido, e que lhe apresentamos em dois locais para sua maior facilidade.
| Lisboa 16 de Junho de 2009 Auditório da Microsoft, Tagus Park Garanta a sua presença! | Porto 18 de Junho de 2009 Fund. Dr.Ant.Cupertino de Miranda Garanta a sua presença! |
Tópicos da Agenda
O Microsoft® Exchange Server 2010 traz-lhe níveis melhorados de desempenho, novas funcionalidades que vêm simplificar os seus processos de gestão, maior protecção na sua plataforma, experiências óptimas de utilização e uma maior mobilidade para o seu negócio.
Com o Exchange Server 2010 poderá:
A Microsoft publicou recentemente o Security Advisory 971492, que alerta para uma vulnerabilidade nos Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0, 5.1 e 5.0 (7.0 não é afectado), que pode permitir elevação de privilégios.
Esta vulnerabilidade apenas ocorre quando o WebDAV está activado. Como os servidores Exchange Server 2003 utilizam WebDAV para permitir o acesso às mailboxes, estes servidores estão potencialmente em risco.
Para saber se o WebDAV está ou não a ser utilizado por um servidor, podem utilizar o método descrito pela Jane Lewis no seu blog.
Para mitigar o risco, sigam os procedimentos descritos no Microsoft Security Advisory 971492.

[UPDATE]
De acordo com o Security Research and Defense blog, o OWA não é afectado:
Question: Is Outlook Web Access (OWA) vulnerable to the authentication bypass?
Answer: No, OWA is not vulnerable to this vulnerability. Exchange 2007 and earlier supported the WebDAV protocol but they did so with an Exchange implementation of WebDAV which only reads/write to/from the Exchange store. It does not interact with the filesystem directly.
O serviço Microsoft My Phone, que disponibiliza salavaguarda e restauro de dados a partir de telefones Windows Mobile para a “nuvem”, entrou esta semana na fase de Public Beta.
Quer isto dizer que toda a gente pode agora usufruir dos serviços disponibilizados que, na minha opinião pessoal como utilizador regular, são bastante úteis e funcionam muito bem!
Ah, é verdade, este serviço é o resultado da aquisição pela Microsoft da empresa Portuguesa MobiComp.
Microsoft My Phone syncs information on your mobile phone to a storage space on a web site hosted by Microsoft. If your phone is lost or stolen, or if you upgrade to a new phone, you can easily restore the contacts, calendar appointments, photos, and other information that you stored on My Phone to a compatible new or replacement phone. Most phones that run the Windows Mobile 6 operating system are compatible with My Phone service.
Microsoft My Phone enables you to view and manage phone information by using a web browser. In your web account, you can add, edit, and delete contacts and calendar appointments, and the changes will appear on your phone the next time that you sync.
My Phone makes it easy to view photos on your computer that were taken with your camera phone. From your web account, you can save photos to your computer or can e-mail them to family and friends.
How much does the Microsoft My Phone service cost?
Microsoft does not charge a fee for the My Phone service at this time. But the data plan you have with your mobile operator may require you to pay data-transfer charges when you use the service. If you are unsure of your plan coverage, please contact your mobile operator.
How much data can I back up?
Your Microsoft My Phone account gives you 200 MB of free storage on the Microsoft My Phone web site. If a synchronization would result in exceeding this limit, you will receive an error message on your phone and your account on the My Phone web site will only include information received prior to reaching this limit. Any files in excess of this limit will not be saved.

Algumas notas importantes retiradas do blog You Had Me At EHLO:
As in the previous rollups, we have done a mix of product improvements (aka Critical Design Change Requests) and bug fixes. A few key ones which I would like to call out are as follows:
Já instalei este pacote nas minhas máquinas de teste (Hyper-V) e, até agora, tudo parece estar OK!

A Microsoft acaba de publicar o seguinte artigo da Knowledge Base: Outlook Tools: description of sample tools for managing PST files in your Outlook Profile.
As seguintes 3 ferramentas são descritas no artigo:
“An Outlook personal folders file (.pst) is a file that is commonly used to store e-mail messages for Internet e-mail accounts (POP3/IMAP), for archiving e-mail messages from an Exchange mailbox, or for organizing e-mail messages using rules that move the messages based on some criteria. If you are managing users in a company environment you occasionally need to manage .pst files in users’ Outlook profiles. This includes, but is not limited to the following actions.
In order to help automate these three activities related to .pst files, sample tools are now available for download and use from the Microsoft Download site. This article provides information about these tools -- how to download them and how to use them on an Outlook client.”

A edição de Junho da TechNet Magazine já está disponível para leitura online ou, se preferirem, podem fazer download em formato HTML Help (ficheiro .chm) para consulta posterior.
As letras garrafais da capa, IT’S ALL GOTTA WORK, remetem-nos para o tema principal desta edição: a (in)compatibilidade aplicacional e como ultrapassar os problemas técnicos daquelas aplicações críticas que podem impedir a actualização para o mais recente sistema operativo disponibilizado pela Microsoft.
Agora que a versão Beta do Exchange Server 2010 está disponível publicamente, é bom saber que também já podemos contar com o seu par perfeito no que toca a segurança, o Forefront Security 2010 for Exchange Beta 2 também está disponível para download.
“Forefront Security for Exchange Server (FSE) provides fast and effective protection against malware and spam by including multiple scanning engines from industry-leading security partners in a single solution. This second public beta of the next generation of FSE provides customers with updates to the easy-to-use interface, further integration with the Stirling management console, additional scanning and filtering options, new monitoring features, and antispam protection. Future versions will provide additional features and enhancements.”

O 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 2 (SP2) foi disponibilizado ontem, por isso despachem-se a fazer o download do ficheiro de 290MB!
Overview
The 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 2 (SP2) provides customers with the latest updates to the 2007 Office suite (the products that are affected by this update are listed below). This download includes two types of fixes:
Before installing this service pack, you are strongly encouraged to read 953195, which describes some big improvements introduced by SP2, and also calls out some important information that you should be aware of before installing.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you attempt to install this update and get a message saying that the update failed, please refer to Knowledge Base Article 968173. It describes a set of requirements and other issues that may cause the installation to fail, and gives instructions on how to fix them.
Install SP2 for Other Office Products
If you have other Office products installed, please be sure to update them as well. A full list of SP2 releases for Office products is available in the Knowledge Base Article 968170.
To Remove this Download
Service Pack 2 is the first service pack to support uninstall of client patches through both the command line and the use of the Microsoft Service Pack Uninstall Tool. The Service Pack Uninstall Tool is available as a separate download. For more information about this tool, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 954914.
Mas para mim, e certamente para a maioria dos leitores deste blog, as novidades mais interessantes são as relacionadas com o Outlook. Aqui fica um resumo das melhorias introduzidas no Outlook, retirado do KB 953195:

O Ross Smith IV anunciou no Microsoft Exchange Team Blog que a ferramenta Mailbox Server Role Storage Requirements Calculator foi actualizada para a versão 16.8.
De acordo com a página de updates no blog You Had Me At EHLO, estas são as correcções/melhorias:
Para obter instruções detalhadas sobre a utilização da ferramenta, consultem Exchange 2007 Mailbox Server Role Storage Requirements Calculator.
O Exchange Server 2003 entrou em Suporte Estendido no passado dia 14 de Abril de 2009. Todos os detalhes da política de suporte da Microsoft e do ciclo de vida dos produtos podem ser consultados em Support.com.
Para quem ainda está a utilizar esta versão de Exchange, talvez seja uma boa altura para migrar para Exchange Server 2007… Ou até começar a planear o recentemente anunciado Exchange Server 2010..
What does this mean for customers?
The major differences between the Mainstream Support phase and the Extended Support phase are the following:
Customers have 90 days after 4/14/2009 to purchase an Extended Hotfix Support Agreement. One exception - customers who have Software Assurance can opt in for the Extended Hotfix Support Agreement at any time.
One of the important things to note is that Extended Support is still a publicly supported phase and no separate agreement is needed to obtain support. As long as customers are opening paid incidents, they will still be able to receive support. In fact, many Premier and Pro customers who already open paid cases with Microsoft will notice little difference in the support that is provided in this phase. They will continue to be able to open paid cases, receive security updates, obtain support assistance from their TAM, etc.
