Hi there,
it really would be good to see that full multi-language-testing is done everywhere. I saw problems with german umlauts (üöäÜÖÄß)in passwords in POP3 authentication. The testing group should have found that - reminds me of the early times of software.
Can you please state on this blog what's the right way for power users to administer public folders? The addpublicfolderpermissionrecursive.ps1 together with Outlook? EMS?
Also I'd like to know more about the fact, that sb. who has PF permission level 8 and EMS/EMC can mailenable the folder.
Some of my customers wanted to deploy Exchange UM to get rid of their variety of fax solutions that they "inherited" in decentralized Exchange 5.5 times. As soon as they figured out that Exchange is not able to send faxes, this thought was totally out of mind forever. So please implemet this with SP2 before more customers have been burnt.
About the help: can you please provide some examples for the CMDlets that are not the easiest imaginable? Some documentation about Exchange data types in Powershell would also be useful.
For future versions: Would it be possible to provide a managable way handle hosts that relay through Exchange? My customers are normally 20k seats and above and in such organizations there are normally hundreds of hosts that are not able to send authenticated SMTP emails. Some of them have Excel lists to keep track on who needs to send what for (or using CSVs and the set-receiveconnector, if admins are mature with EMS). Others are using dedicated internal sendmail relay machines just for that. Maybe that's an opportunity?
Last but not least I'd like to thank you guys for the great documentation. Without that, it would have been impossible to plan and deploy.
