Here are a few of the things I have found that need to be added in Exch2k7sp1: In owa the mail alert needs to be like it was in 2k3 a little box that pops up from the bottom of the tray. (not a little box inside the webpage) Absolutely have to be able to change permissions on mailboxes. We are active directory integrated but I can not see everything in my AD users and computers with the advanced view turned on, somethings not right here Equipment should be segmented out like rooms so when you create a meeting you have users, rooms, and equipment. (right now equipment is like a user) Changing sending/receiving limits for a user or entire org No exmerge utility supported for 2k7 Most of the earlier post hit the other items. Now to what I like powershell is just that powerful but will take some getting used to owa look is 5000% better and actually usable now (global catalog, etc) transport rules are nuts, (both being able to create different disclaimer for different people or groups and being able with a rule to setup and see easily who is getting whos mail forwarded to whom and copies to who and so one) very nice to see importing pst's for console oh my word!! sorry sp1 ease of owa config be it (internal/external, authentication method, etc) Thanks for listening.

I think that many people's concerns with E2K7 are going to be addressed with SP1. A lot of what was missing in the GUI has been returned in E2K7 SP1. I am pretty pleased with it, myself. For many people looking for recovery solutions like DoubleTake, the new SCR solution is going to be a big win. I am anxiously awaiting the next beta so I can test this feature.

A couple more things I remembered that need to be added Reporting tool (number of messages in/out, mailbox size increase since function(and export) Send to functionality with the os so third party apps work Basic monitoring features to tell if something is not working properly (mail coming / going out / queue is filling up)

there is actually some cmdlets that can be used for monitoring your Exchange 2007 servers, if they dont make you happy there is not that hard to create a powershell script or use some performance counters, and of course there is MOM

What cmdlets can I use to monitor my exchange 2k7 server? Thanks Lasse

Any cmdlets that gives you some sort of live data can be used as monitoring solution, especially when combined together in a script could be as simple as Get-Queue on a HUB or Edge server to see the current queue status or Dir to see the free disk space on Mailbox server. Gathering information from EventLogs is important and can be done with Get-EventLog and then searched for errors or warnings. All cmdlets that start with 'Test-' is handy, Can be retreived with 'Get-Help Test-*' All cmdlets that has the word status is also good, 'Get-Help *status*' other cmdlets are: Get-MailboxStatistics Get-ActiveSyncDeviceStatistics Get-LogonStatisctics Get-PublicFolderStatistics
