Send To Connections in SharePoint 2010 offer much more flexibility and a great way to better managed documents. A user can move a document from one location to another, create a copy of a document and send it to another location, or move a document but leave a link of its new location in former […]

If you are installing SharePoint 2010 RC you no longer need to worry about the Windows Server 2008 hotfix to get the profile import working this is now included in the preparation tool. Way to go Microsoft!

The Document ID Service feature is a great addition to SharePoint 2010. SharePoint 2007 lacks the ability to link to a document without using its path, which is a problem when a document is moved to a different document library, site collection or farm. A link could ultimately become a broken link as soon as […]

While I’m not at VoiceCon this year, I’ve been following the developments there closely. Public info about Wave 14 (the next version of OCS) is starting to trickle out. Some important info: Support for new standalone IP phones being unveiled by Polycom and Astra. I’ve been _begging_ for MS to incorporate more standalone devices for […]

I typically don’t repost links to existing documentation, but occasionally I run across items that are not too well known and I feel this is a prime example. Just when I though I had all of the OCS-related documentation stashed away in a folder I ran into an entire section on TechNet that contains some […]

When setting up a new BPOS site for clients the first conversation I make sure to have is about their on-premises Active Directory solution. Most companies already have a domain even if they are currently using Notes or Groupwise for a messaging solution, I haven’t seen a fully native Novell operation where no Windows domain […]

Just a reminder that if you are running Windows 7 RC1 your time is quickly running out. Microsoft posted this to their TechNet Site, Starting on March 1, 2010, your PC will begin shutting down every two hours. Windows will notify you two weeks before the bi-hourly shutdowns start. To avoid interruption, you’ll need to […]

(Okay, before I get hate mail for two iPhone related blog articles in a row let us get back to business). One of the more common questions I get when migrating clients up to Exchange Online is where can they view mailbox size information for all of the users online. This is typically more often […]

Although the new Voice Mail Preview feature in Exchange 2010 has (rightfully) grabbed most of the spotlight in terms of neat new features in the product, there is another change in 2010 that is equally as important to anyone who is using an iPhone with Exchange ActiveSync. Previously when my corporate mailbox was on an […]

The Managed Metadata Service is a highly configurable service application that controls three distinct features: keyword store, managed terms and content type publishing. The access to and control of these three features needs to be considered individually when determining the structure of the service applications and connections among the various web apps in the farm(s). […]

This is just a quick heads up on the Play-on-Phone feature in Exchange 2010. I was testing several of the new UM features in my lab and one that had me scratching my head was Play-on-Phone which allows a UM user to play messages at their internal extension or any number they choose, providing the […]

One of the improved features in Exchange 2010 is multi-mailbox searching. While you could do this to a degree in Exchange 2007 it usually required too many rights to delegate it to a compliance officer and the searches had to be run from PowerShell so it was often problematic for the user to perform these […]
