SysAdmin Talk

In a previous article I mentioned how to create users and computers in active directory, the first stage of testing the PST Importer (and ESA). The next step is to go to Exchange and create mailboxes to the users that we just created and for further comfortable management, add access permissions to them where needed.

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.

Know all you need to know about managing Exchange retention policies? If not, they could well start managing you. Here I cover all the concepts and information that you will need.

One of the biggest challenges facing Exchange administrators is the management of SSL certificates. Exchange uses SSL certificates to secure communications between clients and servers for services such as Outlook Web App, Exchange ActiveSync, Outlook Anywhere, and more. There are several details that need to be taken into consideration when troubleshooting problems with Exchange certificates.
