This morning we released the complete list of sessions offered at Microsoft Ignite, including the full list of Exchange sessions. Ignite is the premier event for the Exchange community, bringing together the people who build Exchange and those who work with it every day. If you are one of the many Microsoft Exchange Conference (MEC) alumni, Ignite is the evolution of MEC. Be there as we talk about what’s coming next in Exchange, announce new Office 365 innovations and share our overall technology vision and strategy. Deep technical content At Ignite, we’ll have over 65 breakout sessions dedicated to Exchange on-premises and online, 9 hands-on-labs (HOLs) and 2 pre-day offerings for Exchange IT Pros – many of these offerings presented for the first time at Ignite. You will hear from Exchange engineering, deployment and support teams, as well as independent MVP experts. Ignite offers more than just Exchange content, providing easy access to a broad set of content across Microsoft technologies. You will find over 550 sessions ready for selection at Ignite. So go broad and deep with leading experts from Microsoft and the community on topics ranging from product overview, best practices, how-to, deep-dives, vision and roadmap – tailored by role, level, and specific interests. Here as few sessions you will find on the agenda for Ignite.

Unrivaled community & networking opportunities If you’ve been to MEC in the past, you know the real magic happens with the connections you make on site – impromptu geek-out whiteboard sessions, ad-hoc syncs and afterhours at the big and small parties. We are building a complete Ignite experience to deliver opportunities to network at Ignite as Exchange MVP Jason Sherry shared with us early in the Ignite planning process. "The key thing for me is the networking and open dialog that can easily be had with anyone there. Easy access to my peers and product group. We powwow and can then walk to sessions together. Interacting with your peers and socializing is the biggest benefit." – Jason Sherry, Exchange MVP & MEC Alumni, @JasonSherry We’re hosting six large theaters in the spacious expo hall at the event to serve as community zones – these provide a platform for community leaders to share their knowledge and experience with attendees as well as comfortable meeting places for the spontaneous conversations that crop up. The content in these theaters is 100% community-driven; you can expect community-run panel discussions, short fire-starter sessions in which you share an idea with the community and get immediate feedback and birds of a feather session in which people with similar interests gather for discussion, and maybe some of that ‘controlled chaos with clarity’ this community is known for. Mealtimes and after hours provide a whole new slew of opportunities to network and make connections, from scheduled events including the Welcome Reception Monday night and Attendee Party Thursday night to more informal gatherings including meal-time mashups with seating by topic or geography so every meal at the conference becomes a chance to meet someone with similar interests.

Since we posted this blog post, we have received positive responses from many of our customers, who have proceeded with changing their connectors (as per instructions in the post), thereby protecting their email/domain reputation. However, we are also aware of customers who are either in the midst of making this change or need some additional time to complete their changes. We understand a change like this can take some time, so we have decided to move our deadline from Feb 1 st , 2017 to July 5 th , 2017. We have also added more details in the original post. If you are an Office 365 email customer and your organization is hybrid (you have an on-premise environment), please take some time to read it! Carolyn LiuMicrosoft Ignite 2018 - The Recap
Microsoft Ignite 2018 ended a few weeks ago, and what a great event it was. It was great to see so many of our customers, partners and friends there – thank you for coming to our sessions, thank you for coming to the booth, thank you for hanging out with us whenever the opportunity arose and thank you for giving us great feedback on what we’re doing. We’re still recovering but we heard you and are focused on doing a better job because of it. All of the sessions were recorded this year, and so here’s a handy reference to all the sessions in the Exchange and Outlook track, and some others we think you’ll find interesting, so you can refer back here whenever you want to find one.

Thanks! Happy watching! And see you next year for more of the same. Microsoft Ignite 2019 here we come! Greg Taylor Director of Product Marketing Exchange Server and OnlineWhy can't I modify the objects on my ADC Tools created Recipient CA?
If you create a Recipient Connection Agreement (RCA) with the ADC tools wizard and then go in to view the settings of that RCA, you may notice that the “Select the objects that you want to replicate” options on the From Windows tab are grayed out and you cannot make changes… Example: The reason for this is because of the custom filter created for the RCA by the ADC tools. If you look at the values for the attribute msExchServer1SearchFilter on the agreement itself, you will see a filter specified that is similar to: (&(|(objectclass=user)(objectclass=contact)(objectclass=group))(|(legacyExchangeDN=/o=ORG1/ou=SITE1/cn=*)(legacyExchangeDN=ADCDisabledMail*)(isDeleted=TRUE))); This is a custom search filter that (in this case) searches for objects in Active Directory that are either of class user, contact, or group AND that also belong to the Administrative Group called SITE1 (or that have been deleted and need that deletion to replicate across to the 5.5 Directory) Since this is a “custom” filter, the objects can’t be edited via the normal GUI interface and that is why the check boxes are not modifiable. Once again you can see from the filter that the connection agreement is in fact already set to replicate users, contacts or groups despite what the GUI seems to indicate at first glance. If you have multiple Administrative groups that have users in the same Active Directory location you would have multiple auto-created RCAs as these will ONLY replicate objects that match the Administrative Group listed in the filter. For example, a second Administrative Group (called AG2) with objects in the same Active Directory location would have a filter like the following: (&(|(objectclass=user)(objectclass=contact)(objectclass=group))(|(legacyExchangeDN=/o=ORG1/ou=AG2/cn=*)(legacyExchangeDN=ADCDisabledMail*)(isDeleted=TRUE))); Ultimately, if you want or need more flexibility with connection agreements (such as limiting or modifying the objects controlled by the RCA) you should create the connection agreements manually using the ADC Services Snap-in instead of having the ADC tools create them automatically. - Kyle Lewallen
