OWA Coexistence With Legacy Versions
In most environments that plan to implement Exchange 2010, there will probably be an older (legacy) version of Exchange Server running. This document provides information on how Exchange 2003, Exchange 2007, and Exchange 2010 will work together in regards to OWA.

Renewing SSL Certificates on Exchange Server 2007

Multisite Exchange Organization Patching
Imagine the following scenario where you have your Exchange Organization split in three major sites, where each site has their own domain, for instance EMEA, APAC and AMERICAS. In each site we have CCR clusters, Hub Transport and CAS servers, all in Service Pack 1. Service Pack 2 meanwhile is released and we end up…
Block Outgoing BCC Emails
None of the transport rule predicates support matching on only BCC, so I don’t believe a basic transport rule will block outgoing BCC emails. I think you’d have to do a transport agent (routing agent) to do what you’re looking for. Something like this might get you started: This is just some sample code which…
Exchange Server 2007 Log Shipping through Heartbeat Network
Imagine a scenario where we would have an Exchange Server 2007 CCR on Windows Server 2008. In this setup we only have two network cards. Initially our thoughts would go to that it’s a best practice to configure the private/heartbeat NIC as the primary one to be used for log shipping and seeding and thus…
