More exchange 2010 progress
So i finalised my migration to exchange 2010 today for adexis... all in all, the move was very easy. All our exchange 2007 servers are now gone and were a 2010 only org.... so next up is playing with the new features.
There was a couple of minor issues
1) Activesync busted - found the fix here - http://www.expta.com/2009/10/exchange-server-2010-rtm-upgrade-and_22.html. Basically permissions on anyones AD acocunt who is a domain admin must have inheritance re-set
2) Once exchnage 2010 is installed, you can no longer remove the exchange 2007 PF DB - so i just deleted it out using ADSIedit.... and found this article to confirm it
I was impressed by the amount of blog entries out there already that seem to dealing with the minor issues associated with an exchange 2010 install.
I was however quite disappointed with the archiving functionality... i had assumed, incorrectly, the the "in mailbox personal archiving" was going to allow another database to created on a different storage tier, and have the mailbox archive content within that seperate database - this is not the case. The current mailbox archiving functionality is simply aimed at compliance, by the elimiation of psts.... which is a good aim - just not what i hope archiving would be (i dont think im alone here)
Hoping to get time to play with the biggie - DAG's tommorow....
