  • The meaning of events 4113 and 4114 to Exchange 2010 SP1

    Microsoft declared that Exchange 2010 SP1 had attained a sufficiently high standard of code and features to warrant release to manufacturing (RTM) on Monday, August 23.

    If the disk where you installed the Exchange 2010 binaries seems a little clogged after the installation, you can relieve some of the pressure by cleaning up files that the Exchange 2010 installation leaves behind after it’s complete.

  • Fixing the -1018 problem for Exchange 2010

    One of the nice things about writing about technology is that you often unearth gems that developers have built into software that might be overlooked by many other folks. One such instance is the ability that Exchange 2010 has to patch individual pages within a database. In previous versions of Exchange,…

  • Exchange 2010 SP1 still changing

    I’ve commented before about the problem posed for authors who attempt to describe software as it is being developed. Code that you think is solid and won’t change is removed before the final build because a bug is discovered or code that someone has been working on but not revealed…

    When browsing Amazon.co.uk today, I was amused to receive this recommendation: Fantastic – the word is out that my Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Inside Out book is soon to be available! Great… until I read the PR text that talked about the content that should be in the 1,312 pages that…
