The Exchange Team has made a blog post about ISA 2006 SP1 configuration with Exchange 2010.
While ISA 2006 SP1 includes a Client Access Web Publishing Wizard for both Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007, the wizard does not have any knowledge of Exchange 2010.

I just got the news, I’m now officially qualified as a MCM: Exchange 2007. This is the best Christmas present ever! Well it wasn’t actually a present, but really tough work and a final exam. 
I attended the MCM: Exchange 2007 Rotation 3 in May 2009. I enjoyed the tough 3 weeks of training in Redmond, it was an incredible learning experience and also great opportunity network with fellow Exchange specialists. I can only recommend this experience and very dedicated training to everyone who specializes within one of the MCM areas.
The Microsoft Certified Master: Exchange Server 2007 program provides the most in-depth and comprehensive training that is available today for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.
Meet more Masters here.
I’ll not write about the program and the training, a lot of fellow Masters has already done this and there’s The Masters Blog.
Microsoft has released the first update for Exchange 2010, the Exchange 2010 Rollup Update 1. It includes minor updates to areas including calendaring, OWA, and transport.

This might be old news to some
But PFDAVADmin is still a great utility and it works perfect for Exchange 2007 (from a client, see my last post). Besides using it to handle folder permissions, it can also recover public folders or public folder items, that have been accidentally deleted, as long as it’s within the retention time.
This article describes how to recover deleted public folders or items that are deleted from public folders in Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server. You can use the Microsoft Exchange Server Public Folder DAV-based Administration (PFDAVAdmin) tool to recover public folders or items. You can use the methods that are described in this article when you cannot recover folders or items by using the Recover deleted items command in Microsoft Outlook.
Read more in the MS article.
PFDAVAadmin is still a great tool to manage public folders. It helps you do a lot of things "in bulk" that you would not easily be able to do otherwise (in a GUI). At least not as quickly and it works with Exchange 2000/2003/2007 even though it’s an old utility. However, on two different Exchange 2007 servers, I have received messages similar to this:
‘Could not expand https://localhost/exadmin/admin/mydomain.com/public%20folders/: name cannot begin with the ‘0′ character, hexadecimal value 0×30. Line 1, position 386′
I figured something was wrong with my public folder configuration, but thanks to a discussions on the web, I found that it relates to the .Net framework used by the utility. This message occurs if you do not have the Microsoft .NET Framework v1.1 installed on the server. (Exchange 2007 uses the v2.0 Framework).
Microsoft recommends using the PFDAVAdmin utility from a workstation, not from the console of the Exchange server, though. If you get this message, do NOT install the v1.1 Framework on an existing Exchange 2007 server. You run the risk of resetting some of the v2.0 Framework settings and, thus, breaking Exchange Server 2007!
So if you want to run PFDAVAdmin from the console of an Exchange 2007 server, you need to install the v1.1 .NET Framework prior to building Exchange.
Thanks to Jim McBee for highlighting this.
