Maybe you have already read my post about implementing new Exchange 2007 mailboxes for over 2000 users. If not… look here. So, as you see from this event, ongoing support for these global users on a new messaging system is going to be a real challenge.

I found a great blog posting with links to some excellent Exchange resources. Keep this in your toolkit for those times you just can’t find the answer elsewhere to those nagging Exchange problems. I see lots of other IT people struggling with this system and looking for support here at IT KnowledgeExchange.

Some other Exchange resources I recommend are:

Microsoft Exchange Server Resource Site

E-mail archiving

Seven ways to organize your e-mail

MessagingTalk.org - Portal for Microsoft Exchange Messaging & Collaboration

I know who I am - Do you know my name?

If you read my previous post then you know we recently went through a major e-mail system migration. Part of that e-mail migration included moving from various naming conventions (firstname@domain.com, firstname.lastname@domain.com, FirstInitialLastName@domain.com, etc.) to a single naming convention of firstname.lastname@domain.com. Of course this was a huge undertaking and also a political move. One thing I am sure of is that the users will never understand the discussions taking place behind the scenes and will continue to take place about names of other non-user specific mailboxes like a project engineering team or an application mailbox.

Another thing which struck me during this process is that we netizens are identified by our e-mail address in many places on the web. Have you ever looked to see how many places you are identified by your e-mail address? I had to take some time and go out and change my e-mail address wherever the old one was in use. That is not a easy task let me tell you! First of all I went through the mailing lists I subscribe to. I went to their websites and tried to find the area to change my profile’s e-mail address. There are some sites where I could never find this and/or could not change it. So, webmasters & publishers…. please make it easier for your subscribers to modify their e-mail address or credentials! There is this need for companies that may get purchased or change names. There is the need for the users who change names when getting married or divorced…. this should not be as difficult as I found it to be.

In the end, I’m not sure what I will be missing out on when we go back and clean out all of the non-standard names which we will likely do by the end of the year.

Did you see this? - The People’s Forensics

This blog topic, and future versions, will be dedicated to websites I discover in my internet journey that seems to be useful and may help someone else out there with some need they may have.

Today’s website is called the Forensics Wiki . Of interest in particular to you security practitioners out there would be the tools section. To gain some education and knowledge, you might want to check out the How-To section. This wiki seems to be in it’s infancy stage. The value potential is high though.
