Currently quarantine, block or allow, and approval for activesync devices is performed using the Set-ActiveSyncOrganizationSettings powershell cmdlet.
These features should be baked into Activesync Policies, allowing Exchange Administrators to prioritise block, quarantine and allow configurations based on the Activesync device policy a user mailbox has been set.
Exchange currently has the Scheduling Assistant in Outlook and OWA, but unless you have Exchange Federated partners in order to access each others organizations Free/Busy information, it's limited to internal users. This makes planning with external users more cumbersome. Basically something like Doodle.com, within Exchange but without the need for federation or extensive preparations. Inspired by a suggestion by Mike... more »
DIR 2.0 has added more functionality especially when combined with single item retention except for the ability to restore users deleted folders. If a user deletes a folder with items in it, we can only restore the items and not the folders WITH the items in it. In 2013, New public folders have the ability but not normal mailboxes.
You have Inside and Outside Organization and you can even enable that only (outside) contacts receive an OOF reply. I would like a little bit more control over that, for instance by by white or blacklisting (external) contacts, so that they will or will not receive an OOF reply. Also the ability sending an OOF reply for external addresses only when you do not have them as a contact. It's reasonable to assume that contacts... more »
It would be great to have visible status of Exchange Services in EAC - especially when RPCClientAccess Service stopping unexpectedly.
Allow a user to change their FROM address to any of the SMTP addresses on their mailbox or one they have Send As rights to.
Using the support provided for DLP rules in 2013 we would like to use these same matching rules to applying a Retention and\or Archiving tag to messages based on their content.
Users can manage Distribution groups, but can only add members who have an AD object.
For example : Add a second multi-value attribute (eg externalMembers) and a permissions mask to provide the ability for an administrator to allow certain DGs to have a secondary list of external SMTP addresses.
This has been the case for ages. If I set up a generic shared mailbox and set an automatic reply on it in Outlook it and an external sender to it from their equivalent has the same setup a ping pong between the two SMTP addreses ensues. An automatic response however, only sends a message once so that is not practical either, Other mail systems seem to manage this scenario. Can it be fixed in Exchange please?
There are many times when administrators have a reason to disable mail-related attributes on AD objects. How many of these admins have accidentally lost the LegacyExchangeDN? Thousands of admins do this, even in Exchange Online. Either leave the LegacyExchangeDN as-is after the AD account is first mail/mailbox-enabled, or store it in an alternative attribute when disabling mail-related attributes and when re-enabling... more »
End users can share a calendar with anyone from Exchange using iCal or HTML. Extend this feature to allow authenticated users (either via URL, or username/password) to edit calendars shared via iCal, updating the same underlying feature to use HTTPS rather than HTTP. This will allow end users to collaborate better with anyone, whatever the platform, or whatever client they are using. This will also mean that users of... more »
Allow third party clients that can use LDAP directories and clients such as Outlook 2011 to use CAS servers as a hardened SSL LDAP proxy.
This will ensure any client can have an interface to the GAL (Internal or External) which follows the rules of Address Book Policies.
My understanding is that the SMTP Queue viewer is only available in the Exchange toolkit on the Exchange 2013 mailbox server. Would prefer to have the Queue viewer available in the web-based EAC.
When DAG database failover event occurs alert admins through E-mail notification to notify over this event to take action, we have script which checks the database distribution on the Exchange Servers and when it finds any discrepancy in the distribution triggers an Email with the details with which we come to know about the issue and start the investigation, It would be good if this is automated with a Option in EAC... more »
You can set the AutoMapping feature when adding individual users to Shared Mailboxes.
However, this facility is not available for Security Groups.
A lot of organisations tend to link Security Groups to Shared Mailboxes as part of their designs, which is frustrating when AutoMapping doesn't work.
Would be good to solve this MS.
