The odd case of Chrome and the disappearing Office 365 mailboxes
As some of you know, I use Office 365 for my production email service. I also use SharePoint and Lync, but email is often the reason why people move to a paid-for cloud service. You might be surprised that I use Office 365 as clearly I have a long history…

Some factors that make it much easier to introduce new features in the cloud
As you’re probably aware, Microsoft uses the same code base to deliver both Exchange 2013 on-premises and Exchange Online. New builds are generated from the base and first appear in Exchange Online and later in a quarterly cumulative update. It all seems like a reasonable arrangement that ensures that same…

Enterprise-grade cloud services are the new battleground between Microsoft and Google
The first day of any large vendor-centric technology conference is invariably accompanied by a great deal of hype as the vendor takes full opportunity to strut their stuff and spread the good news. Keynotes full of bold new announcements are backed up by a blizzard of press releases, blogs, and…

Selecting mailbox migration software
I am asked on a fairly regular basis to recommend software to migrate data from different systems to Exchange (either on-premises or cloud). I don’t want to endorse any software in any way, but I think it worthwhile to set down a number of principles that can be used to guide…

The end of Exchange? I don’t think so…
“Be afraid”, be very afraid”… is the opening of a blog post by Scott Cameron, an account strategist for Microsoft, titled “Office 365: The End of Exchange?” It’s an odd post that combines a fair element of truth with some fairly dubious predictions. This is a topic that I am asked…

User interfaces are no way to assess Google vs Office 365
I’m always interested when companies put their technologists forward as the public face of the company’s expertise in different areas.

Tony Redmond’s Guide to MEC 2014 sessions
Happy St. Patrick’s Day… Some of you have been kind enough to ask what sessions I will be attending at the Microsoft Exchange Conference (MEC). I assume this is because you don’t want to bump into me, which is totally understandable. With up to nine sessions to select for an…

Exchange 2013 modern public folder limitations – what next?
I’m sure that you all enjoyed the breaking news about the restrictions that exist for public folder mailboxes and the public folder hierarchy in the new, improved, and much-hyped modern public folders implemented in Exchange 2013 (and Exchange Online in Office 365). That is, if you like having the wind…

Exchange 2013 public folders crippled by newly revealed limits
A page appeared on TechNet on February 24, 2014 titled “Limits for Public Folders.” Not much news there, I thought, we all know that public folders have limitations, even the modern variety as used in both Exchange 2013 and Exchange Online. For instance, their lack of any ability to manage…
