Exchange 2007 Outlook Anywhere White Paper

Posted on 12th May 2020 by Rhoderick Milne [MSFT]

This is one of those older documents, that for many reasons I seem to keep coming back to over the years. Even as we transition away from classic Outlook Anywhere to MAPI/HTTP, knowing some of the features/limitations of Outlook Anywhere and why MAPI/HTTP is a better replacement is something that will be around for a long time to come.

Since TechNet is dead, even though I know exactly what I'm loo… Read the rest “Exchange 2007 Outlook Anywhere White Paper”

Exchange CAS Namespace Planning

Posted on 2nd April 2020 by Rhoderick Milne [MSFT]

CAS Namespace planning is frequently an issue with Exchange deployments. Why? For the simple reason that it is either totally skipped or glossed over.

Any Exchange design worth its salt must have careful attention applied to the CAS role. While it is possible to drop in the HUB role, and it works well in the default configuration this is not also true for CAS. Unless your org… Read the rest “Exchange CAS Namespace Planning”

End of Exchange 2007 Support

Posted on 11th April 2017 by Rhoderick Milne [MSFT]

Today’s the day to say goodbye to our old friend, Exchange 2007. At this point you should have completed the project to move all mailboxes and resources from Exchange 2007 to a supported version of Exchange, and uninstall the Exchange 2007 servers.

Thanks to Exchange 2007 I went to MCM, and discovered just how badly Greg Taylor and accomplices can break an Exchange environment and turn it into a qu… Read the rest “End of Exchange 2007 Support”

Save The Date – End of Exchange 2007 Extended Support

Posted on 11th April 2016 by Rhoderick Milne [MSFT]

End of Exchange 2007 Extended Support Exchange 2007 is now twelve months out from the end of its support lifecycle. If you still have Exchange 2007 deployed, and have not completed the migration to a newer version of Exchange then it is time to accelerate that migration project.

I feel a little bittersweet about this. Yes, the new Exchange versions offer far more functionality, but remember back to when Exchange 2007 was released and… Read the rest “Save The Date – End of Exchange 2007 Extended Support”

Controlling Exchange 2013/2016 Proxying To Exchange 2010

Posted on 23rd January 2016 by Rhoderick Milne [MSFT]

Exchange 2013 streamlined the connectivity between servers with the “every server is an island” design philosophy. The intent was to remove the strict version dependency hooks which existed in the previous versions of Exchange. For example, the Exchange 2007 HUB Store Driver can only communicate with the Exchange 2007 Mailbox role. Conversely, the Exchange 2010 HUB Store Driver can only communi… Read the rest “Controlling Exchange 2013/2016 Proxying To Exchange 2010”

Posted on 27th November 2015 by Rhoderick Milne [MSFT]

Exchange 2007 onwards contain a treasure trove of built in scripts to help administer the system. These scripts are listed in TechNet and are found under the Exchange installation path in the scripts folder. Yes – somewhat unsurprisingly.

In this post let’s take a look at the scripts that can help with administering public folders, specifically adding new replicas to public folders. This post wil… Read the rest “How To Easily Add Public Folder Replicas To Exchange 2010”

For users and devices that need to use DNS to locate their Exchange Autodiscover endpoint, should I use a SRV record?
