Mailbox quarantining in Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2013
This is another article that was never published by WindowsITPro.com (possibly because I contribute so many posts to my “Exchange Unwashed” blog on the site), so I make it available here with the caveat that this text has not been tech-edited or checked over in the same way that an…

Managing Exchange ActiveSync device partnerships (in a world where we all use too many devices)
This is the text of an article that I wrote for Windows IT Pro magazine that was never published. It might be of some interest and use to folks grappling with ActiveSync partnerships, so I decided to publish it here. Enjoy! Update: See this post for information about how Microsoft…

Upgrading the database schema within an Exchange 2013 DAG
In my conversation about life, the universe, and Exchange development (well, mostly the latter) with Microsoft’s VP for Exchange development, Perry Clarke, he said “There isn’t a part of the core Exchange Server that is not shipped to our on-premises customers. We don’t have a special Exchange that runs in…

Using an intelligent Twitter stream to keep up to date
I am often asked how I track new developments and information about Exchange, Office 365, Windows or the other technologies in which I am interested. My response is “by using Twitter intelligently”. There’s no doubt that an extraordinary amount of dross is generated and shared daily on Twitter. People who…

Exchange Unwashed Blog Digest September 2013
September was quite an active month because some bad things happened (like the Microsoft Learning decision to cancel some accreditation programs) and preparations were in full swing for the Exchange Connections conference in Las Vegas (from where I write this post). On the other hand, some interesting technical points came…

Exchange Unwashed digest: April 2013
April 2013 saw the appearance of Exchange 2013 CU1 to release the restrictions that had previously stopped anyone running a “legacy” version of Exchange from installing Exchange 2013 into an existing organization.

Exchange Unwashed blog digest March 2013
