    Announcing Exchange Server 2010 Beta

    Exchange Server 2010 Beta is now publically available. You can look forward to the following changes:
     
    • All client connections are now handled by the Client Access Server (CAS) - Including all MAPI connections
    • New HA functionality for Mailbox Servers called Database Availability Group (DAG) - Replicates a mailbox to a maximum of 16 mailbox servers
    • New wizard to create Certificate requests for Exchange (this is a good one folks!)
    • Improved client experience through MailTips (warning messages to users BEFORE messages are sent) and conversation views.
    • Integration with SMS/Text messaging
    • Major improvements to database performance
    • Introducing the Exchange Control Panel (allowing administrators to manage organization-wide tasks from a web-based interface and enabling users to manage personal settings / troubleshoot client issues)
    • and many, many more...

    I've been fortunate enough to play around with Exchange Server 2010 for the past year and I just think its a stellar feature packed product. If we can have a solid migration path from Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2007, we've got a winner!!!
