EVENTS / WEBCASTS: October 2007

Friday, October 05, 2007: TechNet Webcast: Message Security, Active Protection, and Compliance with Exchange Server 2007 (Level 200)
This session covers three main topics. We start with a look at message hygiene. Your e-mail system is constantly being bombarded with unwanted messages, and as a messaging administrator, it is your job to prevent that. Next, we discuss messaging policies. Following recent accounting scandals and the global terrorism threat, governments and their agencies require organizations to store, and produce upon request, pertinent e-mail messages. Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 provides policies to achieve this goal with policies that are simple to set up and administer. Finally, we look at how messages can be made secure while in transit through your organization, between organizations, and across untrusted networks, such as the Internet.

Friday, October 26, 2007: TechNet Webcast: Exchange Server 2007 Client Access and Web Services (Level 200)
In this webcast, we explore Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Client Access Services. The overall goal of Client Access Services is to add value to the data in your inbox by enabling you to access that data from wherever you are. In addition to access from Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access (OWA), and mobile devices, we cover some new client access features introduced in Exchange Server 2007. We look at the various underlying components of Exchange Server 2007 Client Access Services and we describe improvements to calendaring functionality, the new Unified Messaging, Exchange Web Services, and programmatic access to messaging data. We conclude this webcast with a look at enhancements to Exchange Server ActiveSync.
