Exchange Server 2010 SP1

Microsoft have revealed plans for Exchange 2010 service pack 1. The beta version will be available at the end of June. It will contain all previous rollups and also some new enhancements including:

  • Archiving and discovery enhancements
  • Outlook Web App (OWA) enhancements
  • Mobile user and management improvements
  • Added UI for management tasksAnd the PST file management will have some changes too, which are detailed on The Microsoft Exchange Team Blog :

    “adding the flexibility to provision a user’s Personal Archive to a different mailbox database from their primary mailbox. This means your organization can now more easily implement separate storage strategies (or tiered storage) for less frequently accessed e-mail. And, we didn’t just stop there! We’ve also added new server side capabilities so you can import historical e-mail data from .PST files, directly into Exchange, as well as IT pro controls to enable delegate access to a user’s Personal Archive.”

    IT pros will be very pleased with the improvements as they are things that have been requested since its release.

    The Outlook Web App is getting a UI makeover. Which will make it better suited to net book monitors and much cleaner and faster to use. It will also provide users with the ability to share their calendar on the internet with anonymous users. A returning feature will allow users to theme their web interfaces, and place the reading pane where ever? they want. The MS Exchange Team say that they have made all these changes in response to user feedback you can get more info from their blog here.
