Using IPsec to Secure Access to Exchange

image

Foi recentemente disponibilizado pela Microsoft o whitepaper Using IPsec to Secure Access to Exchange.

Brief Description
This white paper will walk you through setting up IPsec for access to Exchange 2010 and configuring Forefront TMG and Forefront UAG to work with IPsec.

Overview
By allowing remote access to Microsoft Exchange to users who are based outside the safety of the corporate network, an organization enables its employees to take full advantage of the technology their company provides. When considering remote access, an organization must also consider how to secure their corporate information. There are several different ways to secure access to corporate information, including VPNs, Direct Access, and IPsec. When enabling and requiring IPsec on the endpoint that’s used to publish Exchange to the Internet, only machines with the right credentials can establish a connection.
Microsoft offers two software-based options for publishing Exchange to the Internet: Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway 2010 and Microsoft Forefront Unified Access Gateway 2010. Both options offer publishing wizards and security features to provide secure access to Exchange when it is accessed from outside the safety of the corporate network and both work well with an IPsec based security solution. This white paper will walk you through setting up IPsec and configuring Forefront TMG and Forefront UAG to work with IPsec.

Microsoft Exchange Server Jetstress 2010 v14.01.0225.017

A ferramenta Microsoft Exchange Server Jetstress 2010 v14.01.0225.017 (32 e 64 bit) está disponível para ser descarregada a partir do Microsoft download center.

Brief Description
Simulate disk I/O load on a test server running Exchange to verify the performance and stability of your disk subsystem before putting your server into a production environment.

Overview
Use Jetstress 2010 to verify the performance and stability of a disk subsystem prior to putting a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, 2007 and 2010 server into production. Jetstress helps verify disk performance by simulating Exchange disk Input/Output (I/O) load. Specifically, Jetstress simulates the Exchange database and log file loads produced by a specific number of users. You use Performance Monitor, Event Viewer, and ESEUTIL in conjunction with Jetstress to verify that your disk subsystem meets or exceeds the performance criteria you establish. After a successful completion of the Jetstress Disk Performance and Stress Tests in a non-production environment, you will have ensured that your Exchange disk subsystem is adequately sized (in terms of performance criteria you establish) for the user count and user profiles you have established. It is highly recommended that the Jetstress user read through the tool documentation before using the tool.

Parabéns “subject: exchange”

Pois é, o tempo passa depressa… Faz hoje 6 anos que me iniciei nesta aventura dos blogs, e foi exactamente aqui, no “subject:exchange” que tudo começou.

1056 posts depois, o balanço é francamente positivo: iniciei mais uns quantos blogs (http://msmvps.com/ehlo, http://blogs.msexchange.org/silva/), fui nomeado MVP e aprendi imenso com o resto da Comunidade técnica.

A todos os leitores deste blog, um grande bem-haja!
