Exchange 2013 Training
I always find training people about the technical details of Exchange to be an interesting but time-consuming (and draining) activity. Right now I’m in the middle of a set of Exchange 2013 training events where fellow MVP Brian Desmond (more famous for Active Directory but also highly capable around Exchange)…

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…

Hello from 38,000 feet
Welcome to a blog post facilitated by Aer Lingus Wi-Fi at 38,000 feet en route from Dublin to Boston, a service provided by T-Mobile. Apparently the connections didn’t work at all two weeks ago so it’s good to have progress. It’s also nice that Aer Lingus has joined the modern…

Exchange 2013: Stuck messages in OWA’s Drafts folder and DNS
One of the common things that OWA users notice about Exchange 2013 is that outgoing messages sometimes appear to get “stuck” in the Drafts folder. Not only do messages seem to linger in Drafts, no trace of the outbound messages ever shows up in the Outbox. Or so it seems,…

Exchange 2013: Using crimson events to track transaction log truncation within a DAG
Prior to Exchange 2007, transaction log truncation (removal) used to be a pretty simple affair. A successful good backup would truncate the log set or, if you used circular logging, Exchange used a small set of logs to capture transactions and would reuse the files once the transactions in the…

Some side-effects of the Exchange 2013 cumulative update strategy
Now that we have had a chance to digest the ramifications of the new cumulative update strategy for Exchange 2013 as laid out by Microsoft, it’s a good time to speculate how things will work in a practical sense. Three points deserve some debate. The first is the cadence for…

Can Windows servers consume untreated Internet traffic safely?
Last September, Microsoft dropped a bombshell when they announced that they were dropping development of the Threat Management Gateway (TMG) product along with their decision to cease production of on-premises ant-virus products. The problem for the Exchange community was that TMG had become the de facto choice as a reverse…
