Blogging and Evangelising about Microsoft Unified Communications and Internet technologies by Peter Schmidt [MVP].
Pedro Alves has made a nice blog post about DPM 2010 and Exchange 2010 DAG Protection.
DPM 2010 provides node based protection so the state of the database on the node – whether it is an Active copy or a Passive copy of the Exchange 2010 DB does not matter. The state of the database may switch back and forth from Active to Passive, but DPM will continue to protect the DB as long as the Exchange server is up and running.
Read his blog post here.
The DPM team has released a couple of new whitepapers, one of them “How to protect Exchange with DPM 2010“, regarding backup of Exchange 2010 with DPM 2010.
Along with the Exchange 2010 whitepaper, they also released whitepapers about SQL Server, SharePoint, Hyper-V, Windows 7 backup, see more at source.
Download the DPM 2010 Exchange whitepaper here: How to protect Exchange with DPM 2010 whitepaper.

Here is a quick tip on using the Exchange Management Shell to enable Auto Accept on all of your Room or Equipment mailboxes with a single command in Exchange Server 2010.

Ever experience a disconnected mailbox, that doesn’t show up in Disconnected Mailbox, after the mailbox has be disabled or removed ?
If you disable a mailbox within the Exchange Management Console or EMS and you for some reason want to reconnect it again, soon after. But are unable to find the disconnected mailbox within Disconnected Mailbox.
There is a reason for it, it will show up in Disconnected Mailbox after the nightly maintenance. But it is possible to force this, like it was in Exchange 2003.

Microsoft has released a new troubleshooting tool for Exchange 2010 Unified Messaging.
The Exchange 2010 UM Troubleshooting Tool is an Exchange Management Shell cmdlet that you can use to diagnose configuration errors specific to call answering scenarios and to test whether voice mail is functioning correctly in both on-premises and cross-premises UM deployments. You can use this cmdlet in deployments with Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 or Microsoft Communications Server “14″ or in UM deployments with IP gateways or IP PBXs.
This cmdlet emulates calls and runs a series of diagnostic tests that help on-premises administrators to identify misconfigurations in telephony equipment, Exchange Server 2010 SP1 Unified Messaging settings, and connectivity issues between on-premises and cross-premises deployment of Exchange 2010 SP1 Unified Messaging.
When you run the cmdlet, it states the reason and possible solutions for issues that have been detected. It also outputs general audio quality metrics for diagnosing audio quality issues related to network connectivity such as jitter and average packet loss.
