There’s a mystery about early Exchange 2010 deployments: despite the much-publicized removal of single instance storage, sizes of Exchange 2010 databases have not increased. The same message has trickling back from all quarters, as businesses go live: after moving mailboxes, database sizes in Exchange 2010 are roughly the same as they were in Exchange 2007.

Elizabeth AyerExchange 2010 has solved the problem of large mailboxes, right?  Not quite.  That headline message is very misleading….. In most cases, mailbox size limits have not increased at all from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010, or from Outlook 2007 to Outlook 2010.

I just about tore my hair out the other night trying to find the right equipment to connect up to a small Cisco 1721 router. I wanted to get the afore mentioned router configured for some training I was doing. The problem of course being that I lacked a PC with any COM ports to connect the Cisco console cable up to. Just to think a few years ago I had rejoiced when motherboard manufacturers ceased supplying COM ports on their boards and replaced them with extra USB ports.
