Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 Community Tech Preview is now available August 20, 2005 [General] | By anonymous 6. Microsoft has released a download of Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2. We take it thru the steps to see the new features and show you the differences and improvements. To use the mobility features, you need a mobile device with Windows Mobile™ 5.0 installed. For most of the other features to work, the Messaging and Security Feature Pack for Windows Mobile 5.0 must be installed also. 
The new features include a huge emphasis upon Mobility Enhancements, in particular ActiveSync Server can now do email push, much like the highly regarded BlackBerry push email. Direct push is a new Exchange technology that maintains an open connection between the mobile device and the server. When new items arrive, they are automatically pushed down to the device. 
Exchange Server 2003 SP2 can synchronize Tasks with ActiveSync Server now, See before and after screenshots: Before Exchange Server 2003 SP2:

 Remote wipe is a new feature that enables administrators to erase sensitive data from a lost or stolen mobile device. The administrator receives an acknowledgement that the device has been wiped after the task has been completed. This feature is available from the device security button.  Global address list (GAL) lookup enables users to receive contact information for users in the global address list from a mobile device. This feature helps users search for a person quickly, based on name, company, and so on. Policy provisioning allows administrators to make supported policies, such as device passwords, more secure by enforcing them in one of two modes: Allowing only devices that have policies to synchronize (Windows Mobile 5.0 and Microsoft Feature Pack) Allowing all devices, including older devices, to synchronize Support for certificate-based authentication Use of S/MIME to sign and encrypt mail Find out more and download Exchange Server 2003 SP2 CTP @ Microsoft - by Adam  Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 1 Comment ]
