Our blogoversary is coming up - have any questions on Exchange 12?

Will there be an Active Directory upgrade requirement or any major changes in terms of AD requirements?
Will co-existence with Exchange 5.5 server environments be supported?

Still waiting for XSO for Titanium. It's now 18 months late! Please say SOMETHING. If it's dead, say so. If it has been deferred to E12, say so. If Mindy Martin disappeared with all knowledge of it, just admit it! <br> <br>If we're not going to get full-featured, supported, remotable, managed API soon, then open up the MAPI interfaces for stuff like Search Folders. It's clear that there's a new folder in the store named Finder which Outlook is guarding for itself. Either update ExMerge to transfer this folder along with &quot;Associated Folder Data&quot; or else update Outlook to export/import the Finder properties (like the Rules Wizard can do with RWZ files) or else publish the API so a customer or ISV can do the job for you. How can you keep pretending MAPI/CDO is dead if you're not shipping a replacement and you keep enhancing MAPI for yourself? I'll bet you'll just abandon Search Folders in favor of a new Lookout-related Search strategy, but I wish you'd just say so, so that customers won't bother accumulating dead-end Search Folders. <br> <br>And PLEASE do NOT RTM E12 if the Release Notes are not finished, the core online help is not finished, and PSS is completely unprepared. If you have to shrinkwrap a single retail box to show at a launch conference which was scheduled months in advance, fine. But don't let code reach distribution if PSS has not been trained and the basic docs are months away from RTW.

Happy impending blogoversary :)

Are there any plans to make OMA set up simpler so that things like ssl and Forms based authentication don't get in the way?

1) 4gb memory limitation
2) SQLServer engine to replace ESE/JET
3) Exchange/Outlook native HTTP communication
4) Virtual Server policy feature

Since I ask this everytime I talk to Microsoft developers :-), any news on when will the 32k server side rule limitation be resolved (not really an Exchange issue, but I always ask) andor are there any plans on changing how the rules work with OutlookExchange (using a differnt method such as seive filtering)?

I think a lot of people are really interested to hear more about how the site/database replication/online standby (varies according to who has reported it!) is going to work.

WHat is the status of the 16 GB limit?

Mailbox replication??

I really like to have a security audit log to record permissions changes in PFs and Mailboxes. Will E12 included this new feature ?

Thank you,
