This time (cause i’m lazy too) a post that is 99% pictures and 1% words.
As you all have read in Jeroen’s post SP1 is RTM today and downloadable from the Microsoft Exchange Website
In the SP1 overvieuw some of the new features are discribed, but how do they look like in the interface ?
Watch & Learn:
A Default Active Sync profile is created for Mobile use.
Now it’s possible to change the refresh interval.
Device encryption is now possible (I think this requires an update on you mobile device, because WM6 does’nt support device encryption)
It’s possible to set a minimum number of complex character (!@#$%^&*)
Settings normaly performed on the Mobile Device regarding to how much is downloaded and the use of HTML can now centraly managed.
Also all kind of Mobile functionality can be managed from the Exchange server, i realy like the bluetooth profile (On/Off/Handsfree only) this way filesharing using bluetooth can be disabled, but you can still use a carkit or inear handsfree solution.
Applications can also be managed with Exchange and also a block list, so games are history for those strickt companys.
The last 2 screens showed this message; so if you want to use the fancy stuff pleas do a donation @ Microsoft 
Aslo in the GUI you can set Full-Access and Send As permissions, dont have to use the shell for that one anymore.
An other cool feature is the Template designer that is located in the Exchange Management Console Toolbox, this feature allows an administrator to build the view that users see if they look at the mailbox properties within Outlook.
So now it’s possible to put additional information in these windows. (or less)
Also Public Folders are back again in Exchange (though the never where away) and offer the full functionality, that can be managed using the Public Folder Management Console.
Public Folder Management Console (need I say more ??
This is all for now, I realy like what I see in SP1 and for sure I’m gonna like what I did’nt see.
Have a nice 1,
Erik Luppes
P.S. The management console now works in Vista
