The management shell is a command line interface based on Windows
PowerShell technology, which will make it much easier for
administrators to script many jobs. As all experienced
administrators know, command shells can be much faster to use than a
graphical interface, but knowing how many smaller sites have less
experienced administrators (often the most computer savvy employee,
not an administrator by training), there will be a learning curve
for many administrators.
To help familiarize administrators with the cmdlets, all commands
accessible from the Exchange Management Console interface display
the script used to complete the task. You can copy and paste these
cmdlets into notepad to save for later use. There are also script
samples in Help and at various Internet sites, so you won't actually
have to learn how to write your own. Once you get the hang of it, it
is faster, especially for bulk jobs, than using the management
console interface.

You had me at EHLO blog: Recipient Management cmdlets introduction
http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2006/08/28/428777.aspx The Outlook Mobile Service enables you to send text and picture
messages between Outlook 2007 and any mobile phone. You can use it
to forward Outlook e-mail, contacts, appointments, and tasks to
yourself or other people as text messages or configure Outlook 2007
to automatically send e-mail, reminders, and your daily calendar to
your mobile phone as text messages.
At this time, it's available only to customers of Alltel, Nextel,
Sprint PCS, and Verizon Wireless in the United States. Customers of
these cellular providers will use SMS Link for Microsoft Office
Outlook 2007 for mobile services. A wizard steps you through the
configuration and setup of the service, including adding the account
to Outlook. After installing the service, you will send text
messages from Outlook by selecting the New, Text Message link. This
opens a message form with options such as maximum text length and a
small preview window so you can see what the recipient will see.
The SMS link service is free; however, recipients will be charged
normal text or picture message fees by their cellular provider when
you send messages or reminders to a phone.

Additional countries and cellular providers are expected to be added
over time.
From the time Outlook 2003 went into beta and offered decent Junk
email filtering, users have asked for the ability to report their
junk email. Microsoft repeatedly said they get plenty of junk email
on which to build their filters from a group of Hotmail accounts.
The good news is that users now have what they asked for: Microsoft
recently released an add-in for Outlook 2003 and 2007 that allows
users to report spam to Exchange Hosted Filtering for analysis. The
bad news is that only accounts that use Exchange Hosted Filtering
will benefit, at least at this time. Whether spam reported using the
Junk email reporting tool makes it into a future Outlook junk email
filter or Exchange Server's IMF remains to be seen.
Exchange Hosted Filtering users will see an immediate effect from the
reporting: submissions are processed daily and updates become
effective the next day.

installed on Windows Vista or Windows XP.

applications at the Microsoft Office Learning Portal. They offer
training materials for home and small office users, administrators,
and developers. For a limited time there are free e-Learning courses
available, along with special offers for classroom training. Free
e-Reference books from Microsoft Press are available for download.
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/office2007/default.mspx While we're on the subject of junk email and user requests, another
frequently requested feature is the ability to train Outlook's Junk
email filter, so it works better on the specific spam you get.
Microsoft has always maintained that less user interaction with the
filter is better and I have to agree with them on this. Many users
are not disciplined enough to keep training the filter and the time
spent on training filters is time away from work or more enjoyable
activities. It's also a lot of duplicated effort that benefits only
the individual. Server-side filtering is always the best way to deal
with the majority of spam.
