mb2k01 Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 I forgot I posted here - only found this when searching for Exchange 2010 lol. Does anyone know the office release date? (Or at least the date it will be available to volume licensing customers?) I'm pretty much at a crossroads production-wise. Existing Exchange 2003 server is aging fast, and now have the option to install on new hardware or even virtualise - but don't really want to use new hardware for 2003 enviroment, and would prefer not to move to 2007 only for 2010 to come out a few months down the line!
AngryTechnician Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Exchange 2010 is code complete, and the launch event is next week at Tech.Ed Europe. I would strongly recommend holding out a little longer. 1
EduTech Posted November 8, 2009 Author Posted November 8, 2009 Yeah i would also hold out until 2010, it's not long now and you will be better of for it! will be better for when you look at the other 2010 packages being released next yr J
cookie_monster Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 A couple of things that sound good OWA (Outlook Web Access) support for Internet Explorer (IE) 7 and 8, Firefox 3, and Safari 3. Exchange Server 2010 is light on wholesale changes and heavy on refinements. On top of noteworthy enhancements for Outlook users, new features also make the operator's life easier -- without introducing entirely new ways of doing things. So if the standby continuous replication feature in Exchange 2007 SP1 improved your operations, or you've been migrating your contractors' e-mail accounts from in-house Exchange 2007 servers to Exchange Online to reduce costs, you'll find much to like in Exchange 2010 as well.
IanT Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 haha - I must be the only one then. I've managed to get hold of Exchange Server 2010 (RTM\Final) Installed it on a HP DL380 (I think), installed and configured it all, Console is alot better, more responsive, some new features, OWA is not called OWA now.............Outlook WebApp.................... Apart from that........thats it. Enjoy!
DrCheese Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Yeah, the RTM version is "out" on the web, tho naturally you should wait until MS officially releases it. I'm *really* looking forward to it, I hate having to use IE to get the decent OWA interface so it'll be nice to finally be able to use firefox. It's a big boon for our remote mac users as well, given that it also works in Safari. I love it so much I'd consider running it full time on a server at home

Apart from that........thats it. Enjoy! So OWA "Outlook Web Access" is now OWA "Outlook WebApp"? So is it still OWA then?
DrCheese Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 So OWA "Outlook Web Access" is now OWA "Outlook WebApp"? So is it still OWA then? Yup Has anyone used 2010 inside a virtual box? Yes, works fine in vmware.
Gatt Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Exchange 2010 available on MVLS!! (Sorry if someone has posted this and I missed it!) 2
IanT Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 So OWA "Outlook Web Access" is now OWA "Outlook WebApp"? So is it still OWA then? They've just changed the name
apearce Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 This is so its in line with the Office Web Apps coming soon as well. They've just changed the name 1
Gatt Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Argh! you can't do an inplace upgrade from 2007 to 2010
rh91uk Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 I'd be quite interested to see how the upgrade has gone for some of you, or whether you are waiting until the holidays.
Willott Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Has anyone found any backup options for Exchange 2010 yet? Currently not showing on backup exec (I'd like to have the ease of individual mailbox/folder/email recovery). Cheers Will
cookie_monster Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Argh! you can't do an inplace upgrade from 2007 to 2010 I'm surprised about that as it's an incremental update.
AngryTechnician Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Exchange 2010 available on MVLS!! THIS. If you have Exchange on Software Assurance, the download is on the Volume Licensing Service Center site as of yesterday. 1
mb2k01 Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 They must have done that late! I'm sure it wasn't there about 8pm last night! Downloading mine now - perfect timing!
Gatt Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Been "looking forward" to upgrading to 2010 and now cant without a brand new server
jc1875 Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 been running with the RC for a few weeks now - very nice Just downloading from MVLS and not looking forward to the upgrade process
Soulfish Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Downloaded this earlier. Going to have a play with this at some point in the next few weeks
