Exchange 2007 SP2 is vrijgegeven en te downloaden.

Het  Exchange Team heeft SP2 voor Exchange 2007 vrij gegeven.

De release notes lees je HIER en downloaden van Exchange 2007 SP2 doe je HIER

Officiële lijst met wat er allemaal vernieuw is vind je hier: (Wat is nieuw in Exchange 2007 SP2)

Maar hier onder staat het ook:

  • Deploying Exchange Server 2010
  • You can deploy Exchange Server 2010 in your organization once all of the Client Access servers in your organization have been upgraded to Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2). In addition, any Exchange 2007 Server, regardless of server role, in the Active Directory site you are transitioning, must be upgraded to Exchange 2007 SP2.

  •   Exchange Backup Functionality
  • Exchange 2007 Service Pack 2 includes a VSS plug-in for Windows Server Backup to support Exchange backups. Once SP2 is installed, you can use Windows Server Backup to back up and restore your Exchange 2007 SP2 databases. The new plug-in is delivered in the form of a single executable called WSBExchange.exe. This plug-in is automatically installed by SP2 on all Exchange 2007 Mailbox servers. The plug-in enables Windows Server Backup to be able to make Exchange-aware VSS backups. For more information about this feature and how to use it, see Using Windows Server Backup to Back Up and Restore Exchange Data.

  •   Enhanced Auditing
  • New Exchange auditing events and audit log repository enable Exchange administrators to more easily audit the activities occurring on their Exchange servers. It allows the right balance of granularity, performance, and easy access to audited events via a dedicated audit log repository. This simplifies the auditing process and makes review of audited events easier by segregating audited events in a dedicated location. For more information about the new auditing features available with SP2, see Understanding Mailbox Access Auditing with Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 2.

  •   Dynamic Active Directory Schema Validation
  • The dynamic AD schema update and validation feature allows for future schema updates to be dynamic deployed as well as proactively preventing conflicts whenever a new property is added to the AD schema. Once this capability is deployed it will enable easier management of future schema updates and will prevent support issues when adding properties that don’t exist in the AD schema. For more information about Dynamic Active Directory Schema Validation, see Understanding Dynamic Schema Updates and Validation in Exchange 2007 SP2.

  •   Public Folder Quota Management
  • Exchange 2007 Service Pack 2 provides a more efficient way to manage Public Folder quotas by improving the current cmdlets and removing the dependency on the Public Folder Distributed Authoring and Versioning Administration to perform management tasks. For more information about the new public folder quota management features, see the Set-PublicFolder cmdlet documentation.

  •   Centralized Organizational Settings
  • There are several new cmdlet parameters that have been added that enable centralized management of many of the Exchange organization settings.

    For more information about the new cmdlet parameters, see the following topics: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee221150.aspx

Offline Defragmentatie Exchange Database in Exchange 2003 & Exchange 2007

Een Exchange omgeving dient jaarlijks 1 of 2 een offline defragmentatie van een Exchange database gedaan te worden.

Hier onder staan een aantal stappen om dit op een juiste manier te doen.

Waar moet je allemaal op controleren:

– Zorg dat je ongeveer 130-150% vrij ruimte uit om de database te defragmenteren.
– De store’s zijn ge-unmount
– MSexchangeIs service actief is alleen voor Integerity Check.

Integerity Check
Mailbox: eseutil.exe /G  D:\Exchsvr\Data\mb01.edb
Public Folder: eseutil.exe /G  D:\Exchsvr\Data\mb01.edb 

Checksum test
Mailbox: eseutil.exe /K D:\Exchsvr\Data\mb01.edb 
Public Folder: eseutil.exe /K D:\Exchsvr\Data\mb01.edb 

Defragmentatie
Mailbox: eseutil.exe /D  D:\Exchsvr\Data\mb01.edb  D:\temp\tmp_mb01.edb
Public Folder: eseutil.exe /D  D:\Exchsvr\Data\mb01.edb  D:\temp\tmp_mb01.edb
