Updates for Exchange Server

Leave a comment

I read over on the Exchange Team blog, and bink.nu about two new Exchange updates:

Exchange 2010 SP 2 Update Rollup 2 (which is just in 31 Mb)

Exchange 2007 SP 3 Update Rollup 7 (which is 55-60 Mb)

As ever these aren’t specifically tested by Symantec for Enterprise Vault, so test them in your own test environment first.  Of course should you encounter issues in relation to Enterprise Vault, then Symantec Support will be able to assist.

A Comparison of Enterprise Vault versus Exchange 2010

2 Comments

There has been quite a few tweets, and discussions around how to compare Enterprise Vault with Exchange 2010.  To be honest I’ve seen a few internal-only comparison documents, and discussions.

 

In some respects I see it as comparing apples with oranges, since Enterprise Vault does soooo much more than Microsoft in the field of archiving.  However I know it’s a difficult decision for customers to make, especially ones which are entrenched in the world of Microsoft. 

 

 

Externally, one of the coolest comparisons that I have found so far is this article :

It is definitely worth having a look through the table as there are some good points, and also read through the comments.

CAS to CAS Proxying issue in Exchange 2010 SP 2 RU 1

Leave a comment

I read over the weekend an article from the Exchange Team Blog which talked about an issue that might occur if Exchange 2010 SP 2 RollUp 1 is used to talk to ‘older’ versions of Exchange. 

 

It’s worth reading if you’re not an all-in Exchange 2010 shop (yet).  In fact even if you are using Exchange 2010, and apply the roll-up, you have to do it to all servers involved in the CAS proxying process.

Update Rollup 1 for Exchange 2010 Service Pack 2

Leave a comment

Last night I saw that Update Rollup 1 for Exchange 2010 Service Pack 2 has been released.  Take a look at the information on it here.  You can download it here.

 

It is just under 30 Mb in size.

 

It is advisable to test this in your own test environment before deploying it.
