2. What Will We Cover? New features in Microsoft Exchange 2007
The Exchange Management Console
The Exchange Management Shell
New features in Outlook Web Access
Transport rules

3. Why Change Anything? Administration
Inconsistent management levels, operation practices, permissions
Topology
Different topologies, settings, elements and boundaries
Server
Complicated and monolithic server used in different ways
Mailbox, Public Folder, Antivirus, Hub Transport, Mail Delivery, Client Access
Different needs and different Service Level Agreements
Difficult to support larger mailboxes
Service
Complex interaction between services
Routing, client / server interaction, Exchange/Active Directory interaction
Difficult to implement new end-user functionalities 3 3

11. Operational Efficiency Greater Administrative productivity
Exchange
Management Console
Exchange
Management Shell
Improved, more intuitive management GUI
Powerful command line shell supports automation and batching

12. Bye Bye GUI, welcome back CLI!
Many Exchange admins like the GUI
But still appreciate how good CLI automation will be
E.g. Reduce mundane ops like building out a new server
Downsides to “PowerShell”...
Relatively steep learning curve (compared to GUI)
Some things (e.g. Public Folder management) are only possible with command line (for now, at least)
Role-based deployment a good thing too
Though it might mean a bit more hardware...

13. New Exchange Management Shell
Built upon new command line PowerShell technology from Windows
Enables the same operations that are in Exchange Server 2007 EMC GUI at the Command Line
Supports automation and bulk operations
Enables IT Pros to write secure automation scripts that run locally or remotely
Enables developers to add command-line management capabilities using .NET
PowerShell SDK available for Exchange Server 2007
