Some light appears at the end of the tunnel in the strange case of Exchange, IE9, and MMC
There’s been lots of debate about the issue that appears on computers running the Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010 management console (EMC) after the installation of IE9. The symptoms are described in the EHLO post of 9 September. Interestingly, the problem doesn’t appear on every computer, a point that has…

Another looming fiasco because IE9 doesn’t work with MMC
Just posted this blog to express some frustration on behalf of the Exchange technical community that Microsoft hasn’t been able to fix the problem that IE9 introduces for Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010. Essentially, once IE9 is on a server or workstation that runs the Exchange Management Console (EMC), you end…

Moving a database between DAGs
A recent email discussion between MVPs focused on a topic that I totally missed in my Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Inside Out book (also available at Amazon.co.uk), so think of this as an update to chapter 7. The problem arises after you set up a Database Availability Group (DAG) with mailbox servers and…
