Entretanto, também os Exchange Server 2010 SP1 Beta UM Language Packs foram disponibilizados para download (YESSS!!!! Finalmente disponibilizaram o Language Pack pt-PT!).

Overview
Unified Messaging (UM) language packs allow an Exchange Server 2010 SP1 Beta UM server to speak additional languages to callers and recognize other languages when callers use ASR or when voice messages are transcribed. UM language packs contain:

• Pre-recorded prompts, for example "After the tone, please record your message. When you’ve finished recording, hang up, or press the # key for more options." in the language of the UM language pack.
• Grammar files that are used by a UM server to lookup the names of given users in the directory in the language of the UM language pack.
• Text to Speech (TTS) translation so that content (e-mail, calendar, contact information, etc.) can be read to callers in the language of the UM language pack.
• Support for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), which allows callers to interact with UM using the voice user interface (VUI) in the language of the UM language pack.
• Support for Voice Mail Preview which allows users to read the transcript of voice mail messages in a specific language from within a supported e-mail client such as Outlook or Outlook Web Access.

Instructions
Download the file, and use Exchange Server 2010 SP1 Beta setup to install the UM language pack.
Example: Setup.com /AddUmLanguagePack:UmLanguagePackName /s: d:\MyLocalFolder

Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server Capacity Planning Tool

Apesar da equipa de produto do Forefront Server Protection já ter blogado sobre capacity planning, está disponível uma nova ferramenta (Excel spreadsheet) que constitui uma preciosa ajuda: Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server Capacity Planning Tool.

Brief Description
The Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server (FPE) capacity planning tool lets you understand the hardware requirements for planning new FPE deployments. It also lets you evaluate the system requirements for existing deployments.

Overview
The FPE capacity planning tool helps you understand how CPU utilization and memory requirements vary by specifying different protection settings of FPE. This tool is based on the capacity planning guidance provided for Exchange Server 2010. The FPE capacity planning tool uses two specific reference architectures, the Standard Reference Architecture which is targeted at the small to medium size customers and then the Enterprise Reference Architecture targeting larger organizations. You can select a workflow associated with a reference architecture and specify CPU utilization and maximum memory constraints for your targeted hardware. You can specify the desired protection settings for each of the FPE server roles in the associated reference architecture, and describe the desired environment to be supported. After all these items are specified, the tool produces a summary of the hardware requirements with the number of servers that should be utilized to support the targeted environment given the FPE protection settings and the specified hardware constraints. The tool also provides performance guidance using graphs to understand performance aspects of the product and comparative performance of virtualized and non-virtualized scenarios with different operating systems and Exchange versions.

Voicemail: A story of unrealized potential

Ora aqui está um documento bastante interessante que foi recentemente disponibilizado pela Microsoft: Voicemail: A story of unrealized potential.

Brief Description
This whitepaper details the value that Exchange 2010's Unified Messaging capabilities offer to empower your users, reduce cost and manage risk by replacing your voicemail system.

Overview
Voicemail is a relatively mature technology. It is so thoroughly established in users’ daily workflows that it has become practically invisible to the organization except as an ongoing expense. Because of their origins in telephony, voicemail systems tend to exist in their own silos, managed separately from other IT systems in general, and business messaging in particular. Many fail to provide the features and ease of use that users have come to expect from other types of messaging.
Yet voicemail is a critical communication tool for most workers. Given the right strategy, it can go from a basic service to a productivity-enhancing tool. One way to do this is to treat voicemail as just one more messaging modality. It is then possible to manage it using the same tools administrators and users know from email. A universal inbox is also the foundation for delivering advanced voicemail features across devices and platforms. Microsoft calls this capability Unified Messaging. Microsoft® Exchange Server is the key technology that enables it. The newest release, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, delivers voicemail functionality engineered from the ground up to improve productivity while helping you reduce the cost and complexity of your voicemail system.

Exchange 2010 Mailbox Server Role Requirements Calculator v6.3

O Ross Smith IV anunciou no Microsoft Exchange Team Blog que a ferramenta Mailbox Server Role Storage Requirements Calculator foi mais uma vez actualizada, agora para a versão 6.3.

De acordo com a página de registo de actualizações, estas são as principais novidades:

New Functionalities

Within the Total Disk Requirements results pane, you now will have three options:

1. As Calculated - this is the default behavior where the calculator determines the most efficient design that ensures the least number of disks are deployed, while still ensuring you have minimized single points of failure by utilizing RAID and/or JBOD based on the decisions found in the "RAID Storage Architecture" and "JBOD Storage Architecture" tables.
2. Entirely on RAID - Selecting this option outputs the results with each server utilizing the RAID storage defined in the RAID Storage Architecture results section.
3. Entirely on JBOD - Selecting this option outputs the results with each server utilizing JBOD storage as defined in the JBOD Storage Architecture. There are two caveats worth mentioning here - first, if the design doesn't support JBOD, then JBOD isn't a viable option (e.g., you don't have 3 HA copies); second, choosing this option may result in a situation where you have a single point of failure (e.g., having only a single copy on JBOD in the secondary datacenter).

Enhancements

• Message profiles have been simplified in order to be more consistent with the rest of our documentation and partner tools. For example, instead of using "20 sent/80 received", the calculator now simply uses "100 messages". The individual breakdown isn't consequential to the overall design of the mailbox server IO and capacity planning algorithms.
• Added additional column to the "Active Database Configuration / DAG" table on the Role Requirements tab to expose configurations where you will have a portion of your databases activated in the secondary datacenter as a result of a failure event in the primary datacenter.
• Improved "Environment Configuration" table on the Role Requirements tab to indicate the Number of Mailbox Servers and Lagged Copy Servers / DAG in each datacenter.
• Re-ordered tables in the Role Requirements Results section.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the Secondary datacenter Active and Passive megacycle calculations to take into account the number of activated databases based on the failure mode the secondary datacenter can support.
• Fixed the number of Active Databases / Secondary Datacenter Server after a first primary datacenter server failure to not display #VALUE for 2-node site resilient DAG solutions.
• Improved the number of Active Databases after double server failure in the primary datacenter site resilient calculation to deal with 3 servers in the primary datacenters, as well as, when there are 2 copies in the primary datacenter.
• Fixed an issue for site resilience scenarios that resulted in #DIV/0 errors as a result of determining the number of copies that can be mounted in the event of a double server failure when the solution only has 2 servers in the primary datacenter.
• Fixed an issue for site resilience scenarios that ensures that double failure events don't result in more databases being activated on the remaining primary datacenter servers than possible when only 2 copies exist in the primary datacenter.
• Fixed CPU core calculations to take into account the total number of DAGs being deployed in the situation.
• Fixed active megacycle calculation to exclude database copy overhead for standalone deployments.

Exchange 2010 Large Mailbox Vision Whitepaper

O documento Exchange 2010 Large Mailbox Vision Whitepaper está disponível para download.

Brief Description
This whitepaper discusses how Exchange 2010 enables you to give users large mailboxes without breaking your budget.

Overview
Giving your users the ability to store more e-mail has many advantages. Large mailboxes keep e-mail on the Exchange Server instead of allowing it to be scattered in Outlook Data Files (.PST files). That helps reduce the risk of data loss, improve regulatory compliance, and increase productivity among both workers and IT staff. The main barrier to implementing large mailboxes is the perceived cost and complexity of storing large amounts of e-mail data. Microsoft® Exchange Server 2010 is specifically designed to overcome these barriers. This paper discusses how Exchange 2010 enables you to give users large mailboxes without breaking your budget.
