Exchange 2007 SP1 Released!
30 November 07 09:02 AM | plaj01 | with no comments

We received notification today that the anticipated update to Microsoft Exchange (The product we use for the KLZ E-Mail provision) Service Pack 1 has been released. We will be thoroughly testing this update in our development environment before deploying into production. The new update offers increased functionality in OWA and makes administration for EIS a lot easier!

We will announce shortly when this update will be applied.

Using Natural Text to Update Outlook 2007 Appointments
21 November 07 02:52 PM | plaj01 | with no comments

A cool feature we have recently found in Outlook 2007 is something called "natural text."

When you are making a meeting request or appointment, in the Start Time or End Time dialog box, enter something like "next friday" or "today + 6 days." Things like "day 25 of next month" also work. Speech marks are not necessary :)

Firstly, sorry for not posting for a very long time!

Microsoft has posted up a neat feature comparison matrix for the differences between OWA, Outlook 2007, 2003 etc.

We currently run Exchange 2007 without SP1. When SP1 is released near to Christmas we will be evaluating it then placing the update into production.
