Tech-Ed: Review of Day 5
The last day of Tech-Ed… Ilse van Criekinge started with certificates and Exchange in "UCN315 – Certificates and Exchange 2007: Best Practices and Lessons". Although I already encountered expired self-signed certificates (those things are only valid for a year….), it was very nice to see this confirmed. As Exchange Server 2007 relies more on encrypted … Continue reading "Tech-Ed: Review of Day 5"
Tech-Ed: Review of Day 4 (part2)
After really waking up, I joined "UNC302 Coexistence and Migration with Exchange Online". It was an insightful session: a lot of customers can benefit from this choice. Probably midsize and smaller companies who have to migrate from a non-Microsoft groupware platform, will be interested in Exchange Online. I was pleased, that also the things that … Continue reading "Tech-Ed: Review of Day 4 (part2)"

Organize myself
Lately more often I feel need to try to be more organized and to spend that rare periods of time which I can do something for myself in a more productive way. I have to say that part of the reason is inspiration which comes from my friend Witek with whom I chat often. As … Continue reading "Organize myself"
Tech-Ed: Review of Day 4 (part1)
Well, oversleeping is not a good thing. Also checking the starting time of a session is also a good thing to do… So, unfortunately I missed "UNC03-IS Q&A: Exchange Server 2007 Continuous Replication Deep Dive". Nice to know about log shipping, inspection and replay for high availability options. I already skipped "UNC306 High Availability in … Continue reading "Tech-Ed: Review of Day 4 (part1)"
Tech-Ed: Review of Day 3
The day started good with "UNC05-IS Q&A: Migrating Domino and Groupwise to Exchange 2007". I actually recently had to write a proposition for a Domino 5.0.5 migration to Exchange Server 2007 with Blackberry and with that in mind I attended this session. This was a great interactive session, a lot of stuff that I didn't … Continue reading "Tech-Ed: Review of Day 3"
