Today the Garage Series for Office 365 returns to the Microsoft Exchange Conference in Austin, TX. And Jeremy returns to his IT pro roots – joined once again by Bharat Suneja from the Exchange engineering team – to talk about what is new in Service Pack 1 for Exchange Server 2013 and how it all ties together with the Office 365 service. To keep things interesting, they count down their Top 10 favorite admin features. It’s a broader and deeper topic this week from DAGs without admin access support to SSL-offloading, so if you’re an Exchange admin you won’t want to miss this.
After our last show from MEC where we looked at all the great new and upcoming end user email experiences with Steve Chew, many Exchange admins were asking, “What’s in it for me and what’s new for admins?” Given the Exchange theme of the conference and the technical acumen of the those in attendance, we decided to take on this topic Top 10 style and admittedly, we geek out a bit more than many of the Garage Series shows as we count down our favorite new features.
So this show is dedicated to you, the Exchange admin. We explain not only all of the important features in Exchange Server 2013 SP1, but also how the changes evolved from Exchange Online in Office 365 and where hybrid capabilities like Azure RMS can be used in tandem with Exchange – whether you are deployed on premises or in the cloud. The construct of a Service Pack itself doesn’t really apply in the same way to Office 365 these days and what’s contained in a Service Pack is now a lot more than just a roll-up of KB’s, so we talk about that and more. But without giving everything away, you’ll need to check out the show and see what tops our list.
