staff, email, exchange 2010
Information Solutions & Services are currently upgrading the existing Microsoft Exchange Server from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. As part of this process it is necessary that all users’ mailboxes be migrated to the new Exchange infrastructure.
Benefits of Exchange 2010
Some of the benefits of the Exchange 2010 environment include:
- Unified staff email service – There are two Exchange environments currently in existence MIS and AC. The Exchange 2010 environment will amalgamate both environments into one unified service UDS
- Improved sharing/collaboration tools – Sharing of calendars and mailboxes has been improved
- Improved Web-based email service - Outlook Web Access (now called
Outlook Web App) has many improved features including rich experience with other browsers such as Firefox and Safari, name cache, ability to set status for messages, filters, advanced search, Instant Messaging, Email conversations are much easier to manage via the updated Conversation View
- Improved Out of Office facility - In Exchange 2010, users can now set an Out Of Office response in advance with a defined schedule. It also allows messages to be customized for internal and external users or allowing to send messages only to your contacts
Service Limitations
Some limitations of email service on Exchange 2010 do exist:
- Booking shared resources – You will be unable to book a shared resource (e.g. meeting room) until the resource has also been migrated to the Exchange 2010 service.
- Viewing calendars - Users on Exchange 2003 will be unable to view your free/busy schedule and may find it difficult scheduling appointments with you.
