I think you're right about that. The fact that no major investments in ease of use for the on premises solution always indicated to me that Exchange Online was the future for small and mid-sized businesses for Exchange. Big shops can afford Exchange teams who do that all the time -- so their invesment in dealing with PS ins't quite as onerous. The big push is to drive smaller shops to Online, which from my experience, isn't too bad.

I think maybe you're at a point similar to where I am. We're an exchange 2003 shop, currently. I'm thinking really hard about pushing for a hosted exchange. Exchange is arguably the most complex piece of software MS ships and is only becoming more so. The reasons risk/reward profile of hosting v. on-site is beginning to swing towards hosted.

But from a design perspective, the goal needs to be to give people more choices rather than fewer. Don't give people just a GUI. Don't give them just a CLI. Give them both, and let them choose. What Microsoft did with Exchange 2007 was to take away administrators' choices. They made it so that you *had* to use the CLI for things that you previously could do with a GUI. That's not a step in the right direction.

Seeing the presentations and the questions from the audience at TechEd in Berlin, PowerShell is here to stay, and if anything it has been increased due to things like archiving. >From what was said, basic stuff you will always be able to do from the GUI, the rest needs Poweshell, what peoples idea of basic is seems to differ J With Server 2008R2 AD you can do ADUC stuff from Powershell.

I'm curious to know if they incorporated any more functions into the GUI. This PowerShell stuff of typing in 240 characters for one simple requests is for the birds. Holy step backwards.
