RE: single sign-on solution for OWA
Hello Daniele, This is one of our following projects. We have a Shibboleth SSO system that we use for our web applications.

RE: Alert and possibly throttle outbound email per user
Exchange 2010's alerting is over a 24 hour period it appears (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd351045.aspx new-throttlepolicy -RecipientRateLimit). It's a good start, so hopefully as administrators we'll be able to configure a set time limit window in a future service pack :) There is a module that will plug into postfix: http://www.policyd.org/tiki-index.php?page=Quotasstructure=Documentation, but unfortunately my Anti-Spam appliance is a turnkey solution (the appliance is built on Postfix) and completely locked down.

RE: Letter from Sunbelt CEO: GFI Acquires Sunbelt Software
Like Stu said, we needed to do this. Three big reasons: a) access to capital and resources, b) technology and c) new markets. Running Sunbelt was like holding a tiger by the tail -- the growth was phenomenal, but the stress on the business is sometimes very intense. Remember a few months back when our support went to hell because our antiquated phone system couldn't handle the load? That was all related to not enough investment in our the right phone system. Little things like this cause constant headaches. I needed the find a partner with deep pockets -- and GFI has very deep pockets. I could have gone with a venture capitalist, but there is a whole lot of other risk that comes with that... And the first thing they did coming in here was start the process of buying a new phone system. I like that. On the technology side, you don't sit still in this business and last long. VIPRE is top of class, but there is a lot to be done, still. I need better integration with MSP platforms, DLP technology, integrated patch and vulnerability assessment -- and much more. GFI already has a lot of these technologies. Another example is our mail strategy. Many people are moving to a SaaS model for email security. I was being left out of the party, but now GFI has their own SaaS platform. Their access to new markets is also a major part of the transaction. 95% of our sales were in North America. That's not sustainable, as we needed to move into international markets to sustain and grow the business. Over 50% of GFI's sales are international, and that's a big pickup for us. Finally, the issue of culture: GFI's culture is very similar to ours. While they have certainly had their issues in the past, the current CEO, Walter Scott, has the same attitudes that I have about customer support, product quality and taking care of the customer. I have been very impressed with how they run this business (and it's certainly a world different than what it was 2 years ago, before Scott and the new management team came in). For our employees, it's a good thing. Out of 240 employees, there were only a handful of redundant positions (less than 10). The vast majority of employees are here and continuing with the new organization. The Tampa Bay location is going to be growing into an even larger operation. Stu is retiring, but as he'll tell you, he had already moved on prior to the acquisition to focusing on writing his newsletters and had turned the majority of his tasks over. This gives him the opportunity to focus on what he really enjoys -- writing and interacting with fellow admins. He now gets to write full time and will still happily kill any thread he doesn't like on the forum. He's happy, I can tell you :-) We had a number of suitors but chose GFI because we felt they would respect the technology, our support and our culture. And all of the key Sunbelt executives are still here, myself included. I am running the security business for GFI. I expect things will get better, not worse.

RE: Exchange 2007 - Shared Contacts List
Drag-and-drop should work just fine.
Before you say that's WAY too much work, I suggest you take a look at the
calendar in category or detail view (instead of in day/week/month view). That
compresses the information significantly.
The above does assume that you have a recent enough version of Outlook that can
display a sharepoint and a PF calendar side-by-side.
Alternately, there are various 3rd party applications that can do this for you
automagically if you have large numbers of these calendars. I've even written
one myself.

I have worked with GFI in the past but as a small reseller Sunbelt has always treated me as if I sold a million dollars of product a month. I sell Vipre because I believe it is a great product but I truly appreciate the personal service. I can be packed and ready to go in 24 hours.

Three big reasons: a) access to capital and resources, b) technology and c) new markets. Running Sunbelt was like holding a tiger by the tail -- the growth was phenomenal, but the stress on the business is sometimes very intense. Remember a few months back when our support went to hell because our antiquated phone system couldn't handle the load? That was all related to not enough investment in our the right phone system. Little things like this cause constant headaches. I needed the find a partner with deep pockets -- and GFI has very deep pockets. I could have gone with a venture capitalist, but there is a whole lot of other risk that comes with that... And the first thing they did coming in here was start the process of buying a new phone system. I like that. On the technology side, you don't sit still in this business and last long. VIPRE is top of class, but there is a lot to be done, still. I need better integration with MSP platforms, DLP technology, integrated patch and vulnerability assessment -- and much more. GFI already has a lot of these technologies. Another example is our mail strategy. Many people are moving to a SaaS model for email security. I was being left out of the party, but now GFI has their own SaaS platform. Their access to new markets is also a major part of the transaction. 95% of our sales were in North America. That's not sustainable, as we needed to move into international markets to sustain and grow the business. Over 50% of GFI's sales are international, and that's a big pickup for us. Finally, the issue of culture: GFI's culture is very similar to ours. While they have certainly had their issues in the past, the current CEO, Walter Scott, has the same attitudes that I have about customer support, product quality and taking care of the customer. I have been very impressed with how they run this business (and it's certainly a world different than what it was 2 years ago, before Scott and the new management team came in). For our employees, it's a good thing. Out of 240 employees, there were only a handful of redundant positions (less than 10). The vast majority of employees are here and continuing with the new organization. The Tampa Bay location is going to be growing into an even larger operation. Stu is retiring, but as he'll tell you, he had already moved on prior to the acquisition to focusing on writing his newsletters and had turned the majority of his tasks over. This gives him the opportunity to focus on what he really enjoys -- writing and interacting with fellow admins. He now gets to write full time and will still happily kill any thread he doesn't like on the forum. He's happy, I can tell you :-) We had a number of suitors but chose GFI because we felt they would respect the technology, our support and our culture. And all of the key Sunbelt executives are still here, myself included. I am running the security business for GFI. I expect things will get

Throughout our discussions and interactions with GFI, we have been continually impressed with their dedication to quality, customer service and superior performance throughout the company. Both companies are similar in their attitudes and practices with regard to customer service, product quality, strategic vision, organizational styles and culture. On the technology side, the acquisition allows us to expand into several areas, which we believe are essential for us to grow as a company and continue to provide leading-edge technologies to our partners. These areas include vulnerability assessment, patch management, data leakage prevention, hosted/cloud-based technologies, and MSP solutions. No specific plans have been made yet in terms of product integration strategies, but we are working with the GFI team to identify areas where their technologies would complement our offerings. In addition to the technology side, GFI provides additional resources in terms of capital, management expertise, systems and new markets that will continue to propel our products and our teams to the highest level of achievement possible. For the time being, both companies are hard at work, integrating the various sales, marketing, finance, and technology teams. Our goal is to make the combination of the companies as seamless as possible to you, and we will continue to provide you with updates and information as we work to combine the organizations. For now, nothing changes in how you do business with Sunbelt. We appreciate your trust in us as a partner and will continue to work hard to keep your loyalty and support.

RE: Letter from Sunbelt CEO: GFI Acquires Sunbelt Software
Congrats Alex. I wish you guys all the best. I've been involved in a lot of MA activities over the past 3-4 years, I know how much work is involved. I also know how painful it can be if mishandled - and how enlightening it can be if done well. I plan to make my return to Tech-Ed next year after missing the past 3. I know it is probably way off of anyone's list right now, but do you know if there will there be a combined GFI/Sunbelt booth? Sunbelt always had a big buzz around it's booth. I still fondly remember crowds of people screaming Knock Spam Out!, and I believe somewhere I still have an I Hate Spam t-shirt signed by Stu. On the other hand, GFI always seemed to be just another table with free pens. :) Jim From: Alex Eckelberry [mailto:al...@sunbelt-software.com] Sent: Wed 7/14/2010 3:57 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Letter from Sunbelt CEO: GFI Acquires Sunbelt Software Like Stu said, we needed to do this.

RE: iOS4 and Exchange
All the hate 'in. MS does some things very well. No argument from me about not being perfect. They do, do some things very well. The most important, being as agile as they are for the size of the org. The process for identifying bugs and addressing them is outstanding! MS normally knows about problems in Exchange long before they show up on the street. No company no matter what they do can have ESP with their products, regardless of what they may be. In many cases you have to have the product on the street before you can find all the problems with a release. As far as MS and Exchange go, MS has the largest Exchange deployment in the world, bar none. They're able to test extensively in house before anything goes to the public and then goes public internally before it goes to the street. Very few knee jerks. As for Iphones, as they started landing in the hands of customers, we started seeing CAS issues. A crack team of forensic engineers was on the problem immediately. Unfortunately there was a lot of band aiding and massaging going on till Apple came out with the patch. If a component is not broken you can't fix it. It's also very hard to design a product that will be compatible with all future 3rd party products no matter what they may be. It's just not possible. Still no ESP.
