• unified messaging demo (110K or 300K); duration: 2 mins

• local log shipping
• transaction logs of the production storage group are log shipped to the LCR location and then replayed into the LCR storage group
• In the event of a disk failure or data corruption, the administrator can quickly switch to the copy database, offering an economical way to

achieve high availability

• this could mean that you could potentially do exchange backups on a weekly rather than daily basis
• LCR is supported in both Exchange 2007 standard and enterprise edition
• more information: site1
• demo (110K or 300K); duration: 3.55 mins

• log shipping to another server
• active/passive relationship
• Shared storage is not required, so nodes can be potentially located in separate geographical locations (providing they are on the same subnet)
• A traditional 2 node active/passive cluster (now called a “single copy cluster”) certainly has its benefits, but it also has one major drawback and that is you still have a single point of failure when it comes to Exchange databases.
• CCR is only supported in Exchange 2007 enterprise edition; single copy clusters (or server clustering is also only available in the enterprise edition)
• limitations:
  • the active and passive CCR servers need to be on the same subnet
  • since this uses a “majority node set” cluster, you will require also require the two CCR server to be running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition (or Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise edition)
  • you’ll need a 3rd server to act as the “file share witness” (preferably the Exchange hub transport server)
  • you can only use one database per storage group for CCR
  • You cannot create a public folder database in a CCR environment if you already have more than one public folder database in your organization.
  • In a CCR environment, Microsoft recommends that you create no more than 30 storage groups and databases (one database per storage group) on the clustered mailbox server.
  • The cluster in which Exchange 2007 is installed cannot contain Exchange Server 200x, or any version of Microsoft SQL Server. Running Exchange 2007 in a cluster with any of these other applications is not supported.

• search for all mail content on the Exchange server; you’re not limited to the RAM available on your mobile device

• flag messages

• set the Out of Office message

• more RAM capability

• larger cache
• disk I/O reduced by 70% (due to larger cache)
• in current storage environments, bandwidth is the limiting factor, not capacity
• since bandwidth consumption has now been reduced by 70%, this enables us to use a smaller amount of larger capacity disks and/or use cheaper storage alternatives (such as iSCSI)
  • can fit 4 times more users
  • larger inboxes

• Outlook client queries AD in order to find out which Exchange server hosts its mailbox, and then communicates directly with that target Exchange server; demo (110K or 300K)

• antispam built into the Edge Transport role
• multi-engine antivirus, antispam and antiphishing can be configured via Exchange Hosted Filtering or Forefront for Exchange Server
• Exchange Hosted Filtering and Forefront Security for Exchange Server are included with the Exchange Server 2007 Enterprise CAL license
