New Features in Exchange 2010
Here is a list of new features, provided by Exchange 2010:
Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 brings a new and rich set of technologies, features, and services to the Exchange Server product line. This topic includes a list of the new features and functionality that are included in Exchange 2010. The list isn't comprehensive, but it provides important information to use when you're planning, deploying, and administering your Exchange 2010 organization. This topic also includes information about some of the limitations of this release and features from Exchange Server 2007 that have been removed.
New Rights-Protected E-Mail Functionality with Active Directory RMSThe following is a list of new rights-protected e-mail functionality with Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) that has been included in Exchange 2010:
- Transport rules to apply AD RMS protection to messages based on conditions.
- Persistent protection of attachments in rights-protected messages.
- Support for AD RMS templates.
- An Internet confidential AD RMS template for protection over the Internet.
- AD RMS protection for Unified Messaging voice mail messages
New Transport and Routing FunctionalityWindows Small Business Server 2008 (SBS 2008) hangs on “Applying Computer Settings…”
I have a fresh installed Windows Small Business Server 2008 Premium Edition on a VMWare ESX 4i Host. I installed VMWare Tools and disabled IPV6 in the Network Settings. After that, i restarted the machine, bad idea!
The Systems hangs over 30 Minutes on "Applying Computer Settings...". Several resets didn't help. After i started the machine in "recovery mode" and disabled IPV6 trough a registry key, the machine is booting as it should.
here is the required registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters\
Add a new DWord (32bit):
DisabledComponents with the value "ffffffff" (eight f )
Restart the Server and everything will be fine...
Exchange Server 2010 Beta1 erschienen
Vom Exchange Server 2007 Nachfolger "Exchange Server 2010" ist die erste Public Beta erschienen. Folgende Neuerungen bietet Exchange Server 2010:
New Rights-Protected E-Mail Functionality with Active Directory RMS
The following is a list of new rights-protected e-mail functionality with Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) that has been included in Exchange 2010:
- Transport rules to apply AD RMS protection to messages based on conditions.
- Persistent protection of attachments in rights-protected messages.
- Support for AD RMS templates.
- An Internet confidential AD RMS template for protection over the Internet.
- AD RMS protection for Unified Messaging voice mail messages.
New Transport and Routing Functionality
The following is a list of new transport and routing functionality that has been included in Exchange 2010:
- Cross-premises mail routing An organization can choose to outsource some of their mailboxes to a hosted solution while maintaining their on-premises deployment. For example, a university can choose to host the mailboxes for all faculty and staff in their on-premises deployment and use a hosted solution for student mailboxes. Exchange 2010 allows routing of messages between the on-premises and hosted mailboxes.
- Enhanced disclaimers Exchange 2010 lets you add disclaimers that can include hyperlinks, images, and HTML-formatted text. You can also insert Active Directory attributes that are substituted for the sender's attributes when a disclaimer rule is triggered.
- Transport rules integration with AD RMS Exchange 2010 gives you the ability to create rules that require AD RMS protection based on keywords or patterns.
- Moderated Transport Exchange 2010 provides an approval workflow for sending messages to recipients. When you configure a recipient for moderation, all messages sent to that recipient must go through an approval process.
- Shadow redundancy Messages that are submitted to an Exchange 2010 Hub Transport server are stored in the transport database until the next hop reports successful delivery of the message. If the next hop doesn't report successful delivery and it fails, the message is resubmitted for delivery.
- Transport dumpster truncation based on log copy status When messages that are in the dumpster are replicated to all mailbox databases, they're removed from the dumpster.
- Latency SLA management Exchange 2010 Transport lets you measure service levels delivered relative to your service level agreement (SLA) goals. Exchange 2010 gives you the ability to measure latencies for each hop, as well as end-to-end latency.
- Transport database improvements Performance improvements in the Transport database result in reduced database I/O per second (IOPS) per message, which increases message throughput.
In Exchange 2010, Role Based Access Control (RBAC) has replaced the permissions model that was used in Exchange 2007. RBAC lets you define extremely broad or extremely precise roles and assignments based on the roles of your administrators and users, and the tasks they perform. Access to the cmdlets and parameters required to perform a task is granted by assigning the related RBAC management role to a user or universal security group. If you want to grant an administrator or user the ability to perform tasks in Exchange 2010, you must either add the administrator or user to a universal security group that already has been assigned a specific RBAC role, or you must assign the role directly to the administrator or user.
New High Availability Functionality
Exchange 2010 integrates high availability into the core architecture of Microsoft Exchange to enable customers of all sizes and in all segments to economically deploy a messaging continuity service in their organization.
Exchange 2010 combines the key availability and resilience features of cluster continuous replication (CCR) and standby continuous replication (SCR) into a single high availability solution that handles both on-site data replication and off-site data replication. Mailbox servers can be defined as part of a Database Availability Group to provide automatic recovery at the individual mailbox database level instead of at the server level. Each mailbox database can have up to 16 copies.
The following features in Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1) no longer exist in Exchange 2010:
- Local continuous replication (LCR)
- Single copy clusters (SCC)
New Messaging Policy and Compliance Features
Exchange 2010 compliance features make retention independent of users' mailbox management and filing habits, and these features ensure retention policies are applied continuously. The following is a list of new messaging and compliance features that have been included in Exchange 2010:
- New interface for applying retention policies
- Auto tagging for retention policies
- Mailbox search features for cross-mailbox search with Advanced Query Syntax (AQS) support
- New transport rules predicates and actions
New Outlook Web Access Features
The following is a list of new features in Outlook Web Access in Exchange 2010:
- Favorites in the Navigation Pane

- The ability to set categories in the message list
- Options in the Web management interface for Outlook Web Access

- Extensible Storage Engine (ESE) has many improvements for high availability, performance, and database mobility.
- The Store schema has been flattened.
New Administration Functionality in the Exchange Management Console
The core EMC refers to new functionality that affects how you use the Exchange Management Console, not how you use specific features. The following is a list of the new core Exchange Management Console (EMC) features that have been included in Exchange 2010:
- Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP)
- Organizational Health
- Community and Resources
- Command logging
- Property dialog command exposure
New Administration Functionality in the Exchange Management Shell
The following is a list of features available in the new Exchange Management Shell:
- Remote administration With the new Shell, you can connect to remote Exchange 2010 servers across the network with only Windows PowerShell V2 CTP3 and Windows Remote Management 2.0 CTP installed.
- Administrator audit logging Actions that result in the modification of Exchange organization configuration and other object properties in the Exchange Management Console, the Web management interface, and the Shell can now be logged for later review. For more information, see Overview of Administrator Audit Logging.

SBS 2003 Hangs on “Applying computer settings”
Screnario:
HP ML350 G5 with Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 installed.
After 400 days uptime, we had to install several patches from Windowsupdate.com, several reboots was necessary. The System was stable after installing the updates.
A day after that, the System was freezed in the morning. I resettet the Server using ILO2 and tried to boot it again. But it hangs 15 Minutes at "Applying computer settings". I resettet the machine again and tried "Last known good configuration". Same issue. Again reset.
Know i booted the machine in safe mode and disabled several Services, such Exchange Services and Backup Exec services. Reboot - it works, Server is up.
Now, i tried to manually start the Exchange Information Store - Server freeze, reset.
I tried to make a eseutil /k to check the Database - freeze.
After searching a bit, i found the information, that there is an issue with the RAID Driver for the e200 Smart Array Controller. I updated the Smart Array Controller to the latest Version, rebooted the machine again. - Worked.
I started Exchange Services manually - Worked.
If you have the same issue, try to update the e200 Array Drivers, it should be fixed after that.
IT was a nice morning....
Windows XP mit USB Stick installieren / Install Windows XP using USB Stick on HP 2133
Mein neues Netbook, HP2133 wurde mit Windows Vista ausgeliefert, ist in meinen Augen so aber nicht nutzbar, da Windows Vista zuviel Leistung verbraucht und ein anständiges arbeiten nicht möglich ist.
Deshalb: Windows XP soll installiert werden. Nachfolgend eine Anleitung, wie es bei mir funktioniert hat.
Was wird benötigt?
- Windows XP Installations CD
- USB Stick mit 1 GB Speicherplatz
Vorbereiten des USB Sticks
- Folgende Dateien herunterladen: Download
- Die zwei Ordner, welche in der ZIP Datei sind nach c:\temp entpacken.
- Mit dem Windows Explorer in den Ordner C:\temp\USB_prep8 wechseln und die Datei usb_prep8.cmd ausführen.
- Press any key to continue
- Stelle sicher, das der richtige USB Stick angezeigt ist, wähle formatieren und warte, bis dies erledigt ist.
- Klicke nun auf OK und schliesse das Programm, das DOS Fenster im Hintergrund nicht schliessen!
- Nun eine CMD öffnen und nach C:\temp\Bootsect navigieren (cd c:\temp...)
- Folgenden Command eingeben: "bootsect.exe /nt52 H: (wobei H: der USB Stick ist)
- Nach dem erfolgreichen bootcode update kann die CMD wird geschlossen werden.
- Die CMD aus Schritt 6 ist nun noch geöffnet. Wähle "1" und gib das Laufwerk an, wo sich die Windows XP Installationsdateien befinden
- Wähle "2" und gib einen Laufwerksbuchstaben an, welcher frei ist, für ein temporäres Laufwerk
- Wähle "3" und gib den Laufwerksbuchstaben an, der vom USB Stick verwendet wird.
- Wähle "4" um mit dem vorbereiten und kopieren zu beginnen. Sollte es beim ersten Mal nicht funktionieren, PC neustarten und erneut versuchen.
Installation von Windows XP
- USB Stick am HP Netbook einstecken, F9 für die Bootselection wählen und den USB Stick auswählen.
- Im Auswahlmenü den zweiten Eintrag für Text based Setup wählen und Enter drücken.
- In der Partitionsverwaltung alle Partitionen löschen und eine neue NTFS Partition anlegen. (Wenn das nicht gemacht wird, gibts beim nächsten Boot hal.dll Fehlermeldungen)
- Nach dem kopieren der Dateien startet der Installer neu. Jetzt wieder F9 drücken und die GUI Option im Menü wählen. Nun den Installer arbeiten lassen.
- Beim nächsten Boot erneut F9 wählen und nochmals den GUI Setup starten. Windows XP startet nun.
- Als nächstes muss die Boot.ini angepasst werden, damit Windows XP korrekt startet:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP" /fastdetect - Neu starten, Windows XP funktioniert nun wie gewohnt
Bei Fragen, bitte die Comments verwenden.
