How to Use Exchange for Compliance and Archiving

by amy

Post to Twitter Post to Facebook Post to StumbleUpon

Dave Shackelford has spent a significant amount of time recently helping small and medium businesses develop their archiving solution in Exchange and preforming legal searches. It can be really time consuming. The better solution is to plan in advance, set your compliance rules and archiving policy today.

Exchange 2010 Compliance and Archiving Presented by David Shackelford

Few small and midsized businesses that have clients in the medical, financial and legal professions are actually prepared to provide data to the courts in the event of a lawsuit or investigation. Those who have some measures in place still find e-discovery to be a very tedious process. In this session we’ll look at ways the Exchange 2010 feature set has made storing and retrieving archived emails easier and will also discuss some third-party solutions that have made compliance processes even easier.

 

This is but one of the great sessions that Third Tier staff will present during the Brain Explosion on June 7th. You should register now to reserve your space. Sign up for the Brain Explosionpre-day event and the IT Pro Conference all at the same time. We’re looking forward to seeing you there.

Custom Active Directory Schema Extensions can be handy

by amy

Post to Twitter Post to Facebook Post to StumbleUpon

During Brain Explosion 2012, which is happening on June 7th as a pre-day event of the IT Pro Conference in New Orleans, Brian is going to take the complex out of AD and Group Policy and not only  show you how to properly manage them but more importantly how to make them bend to your will! Brian will demonstrate one of the custom schema extension he often uses with his clients.

Active Directory Management Presented by Brian Higgins

Active Directory is a complex and powerful system, and combined with the power and complexity of Group Policy it can be downright difficult to manage sometimes. Proper setup and configuration upfront can make management and troubleshooting of complex system like Active Directory (almost) simple. We will start this session by exploring some of the common topology mistakes when setting up Active Directory, and how proper topology layouts can make managing Group Policy much easier. Next we will dive deeper into some strategies behind planning your Group Policy deployments, and discuss some performance considerations when you create new policies. Finally you’ll learn how to create your own custom schema extensions to store custom information in Active Directory. I’ll show you how to use that schema extension knowledge to effortlessly, and automatically deploy and manage network printers to users in a completely new way.

This is but one of the great sessions that Third Tier staff will present during the Brain Explosion. You should register now to reserve your space.

Need to make an SPF record?

by amy

Post to Twitter Post to Facebook Post to StumbleUpon

Microsoft has a nice wizard available that will create a full proof SPF record for your domain.

How does Sender ID Framework work?

  1. Sender sends an e-mail to Receiver.
  2. Receiver’s inbound e-mail server receives e-mail and calls its Sender ID Framework.
  3. The Sender ID Framework looks up the SPF record of the domain that Sender is using for sending the mail.
  4. The receiving Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) determines if the outbound Mail Server IP address matches IP addresses that are authorized to send mail for the user.

You can find the simple 4 step wizard here: http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/safety/content/technologies/senderid/wizard/
