Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 is a complex application that requires intensive knowledge of deployment strategies, interdependencies, server and storage performance related issues. HP has developed the HP Sizer for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 to assist customers with proper server and storage sizing for their Exchange Server 2010 deployments. The algorithms developed and implemented in this tool are based upon extensive testing of Exchange Server 2010 server roles and technologies, HP’s deep experience with Microsoft Exchange, and intricate knowledge of server CPU, memory, and I/O subsystems. This tool is free to download and use, and is designed to simplify configuration across a broad range of deployments. This newest Microsoft Exchange Server Sizer provides support for multiple site deployments, varied client types and access methods, all Exchange Server 2010 server roles, Database Availability Group (DAG) high availability options, choice of tower, rack mounted, or HP BladeSystem server platforms, and either direct attached or SAN-based storage solutions. Based on your input, the tool provides a comprehensive bill of materials along with a deployment overview of the Exchange Server 2010 server roles and storage configurations. Once this Sizer is installed, updates can be downloaded automatically to the underlying software engines that are necessary to provide support for HP server and storage product information details.

Interesting, wonder what the process is to say NO!
Those who do not wish to have their details on the £11 billion computer system are supposed to be able to opt out by informing health authorities.
But doctors have accused the Government of rushing the project through, meaning that patients have had their details uploaded to the database before they have had a chance to object.
…
The "summary" records contain basic medical information including illnesses, vaccination history, and could include medication patients have been given. Ages and addresses are also included.
Patients are supposed to be notified by letter at least 12 weeks before their details go live on the system and given the chance to opt out.

Hard drives are about to undergo one of the biggest format shifts in 30 years.
By early 2011 all hard drives will use an "advanced format" that changes how they go about saving the data people store on them.
The move to the advanced format will make it easier for hard drive makers to produce bigger drives that use less power and are more reliable
#Exchange2010 .. This is an interesting blog by Mark Arnold
Lots of testing of various stores under various situations. As you know SIS has been eliminated from Exchange 2010 and a form of store compression introduced. This, along with the other capabilities of the NetApp platform have played right into our hands. NetApp is the only vendor to offer deduplication on primary data. The deduplication is not an in-line process but rather is scheduled. Hourly, twice daily, daily, weekly, whatever. You set it to suit your requirements.

http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2010/03/05/454155.aspx Exchange CXP team has released Update Rollup 2 for Exchange Server 2010 RTM (KB 979611) to the download center.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/979611 Taken from: Revision: 1.0 March 4, 2010 .. Issues that the update rollup fixes
977633 Certain third-party IMAP4 clients cannot connect to Exchange Server 2003 mailboxes through an Exchange Server 2010 CAS server In a mixed Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 environment, the Exchange Server 2003 mailboxes are accessed through an Exchange Server 2010 Client Access Server (CAS) server. In this case, users cannot access their Exchange Server 2003 mailboxes by using certain third-party IMAP4 clients. Additionally, the users may receive the following error message:
"Login to server <servername> failed"
979431 The POP3 service crashes when a user connects to a mailbox through the POP3 protocol and the user is migrated from an Exchange Server 2003 server to an Exchange Server 2010 server Consider the following scenario:
979480 Users cannot receive new messages if they access mailboxes that are moved to another Exchange Server 2010 RU1 server by using IMAP4 clients
979563 Exchange Server 2010 Push Notifications does not work Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 introduces an event notification subsystem which enables client applications to subscribe to particular events. Push Notification is a notification type in which the client application provides the Client Access server a callback address to a client-side Web service. Event notifications are delivered to this Web service. However, Push Notifications does not work as expected in Exchange Server 2010. Depending on the response of the client applications, a HTTP 500 error may be logged on the Exchange Server.
979566 A 0x85010014 error is generated when linked mailbox users try to synchronize their mailboxes with mobile devices in a CAS-CAS proxying scenario in Exchange Server 2010
980261 This fix introduces the supports for Exchange Server 2010 page patching when a "-1022" disk I/O error is generated Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 high availability introduces a new Extensible Storage Engine mechanism known as page patching. When a database corruption is caused by minor disk faults, Exchange Server 2010 page patching automatically repairs the corrupted database by using one of the database copies that are configured for high availability. This fix introduces the supports for page patching when the Extensible Storage Engine "-1022" disk I/O error is generated.
980262 Event ID 2156 is logged on a computer that is running Exchange Server 2010 On a computer that is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, the following error message is logged in the Application log:

Microsoft is to ask millions of users across Europe if they want to use a web browser other than its own.
Windows users will be offered the choice as part of a deal Microsoft struck with the European Commission.
The agreement resolves a long-running case in which the software giant was accused of abusing its market position.

Whoops! that might explain why I have two codes for two different companies :-|
HMRC has recently introduced the new National Insurance and PAYE Service (NPS) which we are using to issue tax coding notices for the first time. The transition to the new system has brought to light some discrepancies in our existing records and this is resulting in a number of incorrect Coding Notices being issued. This page gives you the latest information.
We have completed our analysis to identify areas where there may be discrepancies in the data held by NPS. We are now reviewing individual cases to correct as many of these discrepancies as possible before the start of the new tax year. We are doing all we can to ensure that no one pays too much tax from 6 April.
If your code number does not need to change for the 2010/11 tax year you will not be sent a Coding Notice. Your employer will continue to use your existing code number.

I received this email today … from Mark Parris who run the UK Active Directory User Group
Towards the end of last year Mark Wilson and I had a conversation around combining the Active Directory User Group with the Windows Server Team user group that Mark had been looking after in Scotty McLeod's absence.
The reasoning behind our conversation is that Active Directory touches almost every component of Windows Server and the division between Windows Server content and Active Directory content was becoming very blurred - so we agreed to merge the two user groups and become collectively known as the Windows Server User Group.
I have set up what is by no means perfect, a WordPress website and forums at:
http://wsug.co.uk.
The website and forums share credentials and support normal user authentication and OpenID credentials.
The Active Directory User Group will still exist - but will now be found at the WSUG website.
Please let me know what you would like to see on the forums and if you would like to get more involved, please drop me a line at mark.parris@wsug.co.uk
for the community.
