All users in your Exchange organization are automatically listed in the Global Address List. When you have multiple departments, or maybe multiple companies (sometime also referred to as organizations, but this has nothing to do with the Exchange organization) in your Exchange organization you may want to organize or split up the Address List.

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.
