Zmiany w SP1 dla Exchange 2007
Najważniejsze zmiany w SP1:
1. Secure Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) enables users to send signed and encrypted e-mail to one another from a variety of devices, including Outlook, Outlook Web Access, and Windows Mobile 6.0 using Exchange ActiveSync.
2. Exchange Server 2007 includes a policy engine based on rules that execute on Hub Transport servers. With Transport Rules, administrators and compliance officers can establish and enforce regulatory or corporate policies on internal or outbound e-mail, voice mail, or fax. For example, using a wizard in the Exchange Management Console or the command line in Exchange Management Shell, rules can be written that would prohibit communication between members of distinct distribution lists, append a disclaimer to any message being sent externally, or BCC the compliance officer anytime a specific phrase appears in the subject or content of a message.
3. Availability can be increased using replication between geographically dispersed data centers in combination with LCR and CCR. Data recorded on the source server node is copied to a destination server node (the standby server) and multiple destination servers can be created for a single source server. In the event of a disk failure, data corruption, or complete site failure, the administrator can switch to the standby server preventing data loss and enabling a seamless transition for users, providing a less costly and less complex recovery solution for the administrator.

4. Administrators may choose to enforce policies on devices used in their organizations including requiring PINs of varying length and strength and enforcing a device wipe of data and applications, should the device be lost or stolen. These controls become granular with Exchange Server 2007, allowing per-user policies. Device usage can be tracked and managed centrally within the Exchange Server environment. Service Pack 1 (SP1) includes 28 new policies across device, network, application, and security control.
5. Outlook Web Access, an AJAX application since its first release with Exchange Server 5.5, provides a rich, Outlook like experience in a browser.
6. The Outlook Web Access 2007 Options menu allows users to quickly and easily resolve many of the most common sources of helpdesk calls on their own. OWA users can request a Unified Messaging voice mail PIN reset, issue a remote wipe request to their mobile device should it be lost or stolen, and add senders to their safe or block list all within Outlook Web Access. Service Pack 1 (SP1) includes a confirmation from Exchange when the remote wipe request is successfully completed.
7. Outlook Web Access 2007 can transcode a variety of document types – including Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, and PDF files – from their native format into HTML so that they can be viewed in a client browser even if the application that created the document is not installed on the client. This allows users to be productive from almost any machine and keeps viewed documents safe, even on kiosk machines, since HTML documents are purged by Outlook Web Access at logoff or session timeout. Service Pack 1 (SP1) includes support for Microsoft Office 2007 file formats.
8. When combined with Office Communication Server 2007 (OCS), users can get an indicator on their Office Communicator client or OC-enabled desktop phone that a new voice mail message is in their inbox.
9. Using Office Communicator, users can dial into Outlook Voice Access with a single click, without the need to input their extension or PIN.
10. The Exchange Management Shell, based on Microsoft Windows PowerShell, is a highly extensible and flexible management environment that complements the graphical interface available through the Exchange Management Console. It enables rapid management through a scriptable command line for automation, batching, and reporting and integrates with Active Directory. To help administrators quickly learn the syntax of the Exchange Management Shell and build custom scripts, wizards in the graphical Exchange Management Console display the command line syntax for each action the administrator has specified via the wizard. This text can be cut and pasted directly into the Exchange Management Shell or into a script file. import-mailbox
11. A new setup process goes from installation to configuration and reduces complexity by incorporating the modular, server role architecture of Exchange Server 2007 into the process. Microsoft Windows Installer technology provides distinct installation packages and smart default settings. Exchange Best Practices Analyzer (ExBPA) is integrated with a setup process to perform prerequisite checking and identify potential deployment errors. To ease deployments in large environments, Exchange Management Shell scripts can be used to automate server installation and provisioning.
The Exchange Server 2007 SP1 installation is slipstreamed, enabling a straightforward, integrated setup if you’re deploying Exchange Server 2007 SP1 for the first time or upgrading from an existing Exchange Server 2007 deployment.
