Microsoft talks about new features of Exchange 12 and my thoughts on them
Tags :Technical
In this week's Messaging
newsletter from Network World,
they talk about some expected and announced features in dwell (I mean 12).
** Exchange 12 will
automatically encrypt messages by default, and communications between Exchange
12 environments will automatically share keys
** Exchange 12 will feature full text
indexing and searching capabilities
** The new version will include transport
rules that are modifiable via a rules editor and will include a separate
set of rules for managing retention and deletion policies
I am sure plenty of people have long drawn
out theories on all of this. From the initial reading, transporting the
keys between different Exchange systems isn't well laid out yet. But
where is anything but server side for the encryption? Since the users
do not have local keys, there is not the individual encryption we are used
to in Domino. So the real value in this is protecting traffic across
the network? Hmmm. Then we have the automatic sharing of keys.
I once again presume these are all in the same AD and have a master
key structure much like an O in Domino.
Full text indexing and searching. I
am curious what filters they will have outside of Office type attachments
for the searching.
Lastly they tossed in retention and deletion.
Is this a simple growth or does it include archiving solutions. I
was not clear on the new policies yet and there is a new interface for
12 that might explain the ability.
