Today, we conducted a technical workshop on Exchange Server 2007 at HCT Central Services in Abu Dhabi. The closed event was exclusively for HCT system administrators from various colleges throughout the United Arab Emirates.
I gave an insight on the new, de-emphasized and discountinued features in Exchange Server, explained the various server roles, explained how mail transport and client access works and also explained on how to do capacity planning for Exchange installation at the remote sites.
Two of my other colleagues also did presentations on gateway security and SAN configuration.
The event was followed by lunch and an open discussion.

After a week of preparation, I put a DHCP server running on Server Core in production last night! Server Core is Windows Server 2008′s non-GUI installation mode.
I am told by Microsoft that we are one of the first to put the Windows Server 2008 Server Core RTM code into production and that they are proud of me. I’m inspired!
As for the DHCP server, it’s working merrily now, giving away IP addresses to anything that has a NIC and needs an IP – on two of our Active directory sites. I will soon be publishing an article on this topic.
My next Windows Server 2008 plaything would be NAP. It’s amazing how the new Server Core architecture runs on so less resources, at the same time improving performance and security.
