Exchange 2007 SP1

Some of the details for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 were released at a session I attended yesterday. Here are some of the new and improved features:

• Public Folders are available in OWA. I like the fact that they will display in the same OWA instance, rather than a new window like Exchange 2003 does.
• Quota notifications in OWA. OWA will no display banner bars if you are approaching your mailbox size limit.
• Web ready opens Office 2007 documents
• Creation and manaement of server-side rules
• S/MIME support
• Ability to recover deleted items
• Ability to permanently delete items from the dumpster
• Confirmation of successful wipe of mobile device
• Ability to add custom applications to OWA
• Move-mail cmdlet can export to a Unicode PST file. No more 2GB limit!
• Powershell syntax improvements
• ESM adds pubic folder management tools
• ESM adds cluster configuration tools
• ESM adds POP/IMAP configuration
• ESM adds "Send as" permissioning
• ESM adds Delegate managment
• ESM adds Folder level permissions
• ID translation across Exchange orgs
• SCR (Single Copy Replication)
• IRM (Information Rights Management) prefetching to boost performance
• IPV6 support

E2K7 SP1 will require Windows SP2.
