Posted on 2nd February 2015 by Rhoderick Milne [MSFT]

One item that is very prevalent is people directly loading the Exchange PowerShell snapin into the Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE). This is not supported from the Exchange point of view, as Exchange requires that Remote PowerShell be used with Exchange 2010 and 2013.

In this post we will look at some of the mechanics behind creating a profile file which will customise the start-up behaviour of the Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE).

Recommendations For Exchange ActiveSync Organisation Settings

Posted on 21st January 2015 by Rhoderick Milne [MSFT]

It has been 5 years since Exchange 2010 was released and there is still a very common item that a lot of deployments have overlooked. This is the configuration of the ActiveSync Organization settings. These settings set the global options for devices connecting into Exchange 2010 and also Exchange 2013. They are a core part of Exchange 2010 & 2013’s Allow/Block/Quarantine feature.
