Exchange 2010 A quick look at Exchange 2010Every time MS takes a product, managers must take time to try to understand its component parts and prepare for technical questions and advice that we do not explicitly provide technical staff.

Sometimes this task is quite complicated, because time is limited for many of us and there are times with some simple guidelines is sufficient to understand the benefits that are provided with the new product.

On this occasion we will make a high-level overview of Exchange 2010

The new version of Exchange 2010 only supports 64 processor architectures bits, and has 2 different versions Standard and Enterprise. The difference between the two is the amount of databases that can be mounted, with the edge of the enterprise data 50 bases. The maximum size is 16TB, and are only limited by the hardware itself.

As for customers, there are two types of licensing, standard and enterprise cals cals. In the enterprise version features are complete, in contrast, allow only standard email, shared calendar, contacts, tasks, owa and exchange activesync

Your installation is recommended as the operating system Windows Server 2008 SP2 or higher and Windows 2008 release 2

Regarding topology directory, domain controllers/global catalogs operating system must be running Windows 2003 Service Pack 1 minimum, and must have the operation mode at least as Active directory Windows 2000 native or higher. If you need FB or forest-to-forest must have the operation mode at least Windows 2003 native or higher

Is a prerequisite for the facilities. Net Framework 3.5.1 or higher, and powershell 2.0 or higher.

One of the curiosities of this exchange is the amount of anti-spam techniques, including, among others, connection filtering (block/permit ip’s), content filtering (deletion, quarantine, Categorization Junk), IP reputation defined by MS, Ready aggregation of Junk E -Mail with replication, filtering recipients, the sender ID Verification techniques for prevention of spoofing, the sender ‘s reputation score etc.

Another product of Microsoft, Forefront, it is advisable to increase proactive security and spam filtering, spyware, malware etc.

Exchange defines a number of roles that we will work from a high level:

Mailbox Server: The server that has been assigned this role will host a copy of the database of users ‘mailboxes

CAS (Client Access Server): It is responsible for gateway connectivity to customers, implementing POP3, IMAP, ActiveSync and Outlook Web Access (OWA)

UMS (Unified Messaging Server): Integration with Voice and telephony services

HUB Transport Server: It is responsible for transport between different servers/roles

Edge Transport Server: It is the only role incompatible with others, and this is so because it is used as a relay in the perimeter network for analysis with Forefront antivirus, antispam filters and so on.

mouse multitouch New Microsoft Mouse MultitouchThe rumors are increased and it seems to become reality soon. A new mouse is being designed by the computer giant, Microsoft.  Already a number of businesses in Europe, this new gadget has started to be announced, more specifically, in stores in Norway and Denmark.

This new device will have features that are presumed to do so similar to Apple Magic Mouse, a mouse, thanks to a chip inside, it detects every movement of his hand on it, so that moving the fingers on his case, read and transmit all these movements on the monitor, such as displacement movements, clicks and movements of the wheel.

Indeed, these types of mouse do not have any buttons, everything is done by detecting the movements of the fingers, so it will serve as a convenient and functional gadget.

In the same way Microsoft would aim for his new creation, a mouse multitouch, speculated to be the result of a project called Mouse 2.0 made by the company of Bill Gates in 2009.

There he could see a device very similar to the Arc Mouse, but had a clear cover. Everything would indicate that the cover would be a multitouch surface.

Est early as March year, Microsoft had registered the domain “arctouchmouse.com” and today if we put that address in Google, we are redirected to another search engine created by Bill Gates, Bing, where all pages listed will already disseminating this information.

So far, nothing has been said officially and on Microsoft’s website still nothing comes out. However, day after day and even rumors abound already talk of a possible price for this new mouse that undoubtedly will cause a lot of expectation, is said to cost about $ 70.

Without doubt, this release would be ideal now that Microsoft is enjoying the success of Windows 7, an operating system that would allow him to act freely, since it lends itself to multitouch technology.
