She's talking about Exchange 2007. Go look at the ms Exchange blog site and you'll see some references. (http://msexchangeteam.com/default.aspx)The nice thing about it is that most everything that I saw that they were doing with a command line you could do with the GUI. The only difference is that

I would tend to agree with Al on this point. I haven't seen a need for teaming and feel that the more complex device drivers could actually put you in a position of failure and watch out for the times where someone accidently misconfigures something and you start getting really odd

Actually, you've got that a bit backwards. The Exchange GUI for 2007 is built completely on Monad/PowersHell cmdlets. In more recent builds, the GUI displays the cmdlet it executes to help the admin (if he/she so chooses) to learn the scripting. I don't think those builds are generally

Hey all, Does anyone have any comments/articles, etc on the benefits or concerns of a clean install of Windows 2003 Server VS an Upgrade? My opinion is that doing a clean install keeps system root clean. It also pristinely adopts the security best practices of 2003 Server. Disk

Well, when you're mapping to \\server\share\directory, if the user has permission issues at the directory level (their actual home share location), I believe that it will simply map to the share and not go into the directory. Make sure that you have granted all users Full Control at the share
