1. Growing E-Mail Volume everyone wants to have more E-mail because of this the storage,

Backup disk should be increases

2. Performance and storage issue increase in Storage costs

3. Mailbox quota users are forced to manage quota

4. PSTs quota management often results in growing PSTs outlook Auto Archive

5. Discovery and Compliance issues PSTs difficult to discovery centrally, regulatory retention

schedules contribute to further volume/storage issues

2. How Archiving improved in Exchange Server 2010?

Archiving improved by providing larger mailbox architecture, simple migration of PSTs back to server,

discovery options, retention policies and legal hold.

Large mailbox Architecture maintains performance and provides option for DAS-SATA storage to

reduce costs

Archiving enables simple migration of PSTs back to server. If the archiving option sin enabled for a

user, a new Mailbox will be created to the user name archive in which the user can set retention

policies to move the mails to archive mailbox or the admin can set retention policies for the user

mailbox.

Archiving simplifies discovery, retention and legal hold

3. What are the archiving options introduced in Exchange Server 2010?

1. Personal Archive secondary Mailbox Node, they are the PST files of primary Mailbox

archive Mailbox. Mails in Primary mailbox can be moved automatically using Retention policies.

Archive quota can be set separately from primary mailbox


14/32

5. What are retention policies? And what we can do with retention policies in Exchange Server

2010?

Retention policy is an option to move/ delete certain mails by applying rules. We can set retention

policies at Item or Folder level. Policies can be applied directly within e-mail. We can set expiration

date stamped directly on e-mail. Policies can be applied to all email within a folder. We can configure

delete policy to delete the mail after certain period and Archive policies to move certain mails with

the certain period to archive mailbox

6. What are the Retention Policies in Exchange Server 2010?

1. Move Policy automatically moves messages to the messages to the archive Mailbox with the

options of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and never 2 years is default. Move mailbox policies

helps keep mailbox under quota. This works like outlook Auto Archive without creating PSTs

2. Delete Policy automatically deletes messages. Delete policies are global. Removes unwanted

items

3. Move + Delete policy automatically moves messages to archive after X months and deletes from

archive after Y Months. We can set policy priority: Explicit policies over default policies; longerpolicies apply over shorted policies

a detailed report per To/Cc//Bcc/Alt-Recipient and DL expansion

2. Journal report de duplication reduces duplication of journal reports. Exchange server 2010

11. What is journal decryption?

Journal decryption is a new feature in Exchange Server 2010, if a user sends an encrypted message

message and sends that decrypted message for journaling. The intended recipient will receive the

encrypted message

12. What is Set Quota in Archive management?

With Mailbox quota Management, we can assign mailbox size for a user. This option can be enabledfrom the properties of the user account, and the default settings to Mailbox quota is 10 GB

recipients in external federated organizations

5. What are the benefits of federation?

Allow users to act on behalf of specific user

Specific user identified by E-mail address

User not prompted for credentials

Reduces explicit trust management No AD trusts, service to cloud accounts to manage

Minimizes certificate exchanges

Verifies domain ownership

6. Explain the federation commands in Exchange server 2010?

Establish federation trust = New-federation Trust

Install signing certificate on CAS servers


16/32

Exchange certificate with federation gateway

Prove domain ownership = domainname.com IN TXT AppId = xxxxxxxx

Create DNS TXT record

Add domain to trust = set-federatedOrganizationIdentifier

Add-federatedDomain

Must be accepted domain

7. How to establish federated sharing in Exchange Server 2010?

1. Create trust with certificate exchange

2. Prove domain ownership

3. Add domains

8. What is Microsoft Federation Gateway?

Exchange Server 2010 uses Microsoft Federation Gateway (MFG), an identity service that runs in

the cloud, as the trust broker. Exchange organizations wanting to use Federation establish a

Federation Trust with MFG, allowing it to become a federation partner to the Exchange organization.The trust allows users authenticated by Active Directory , known as the identity provider (IP), to be

issued Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) delegation tokens by MFG. The delegation

tokens allow users from one federated organization to be trusted by another federated organization.

With MFG acting as the trust broker, organizations are not required to establish multiple individual

trust relationships with other organizations. Users can access external resources using a single sign-

on (SSO) experience

9. What is Federation Trust?

A Federation Trust is established between an Exchange organization and MFG by exchanging the

organizations certificate with MFG, and retrieving MFGs certificate and federation metadata. Thecertificate is used for encrypting tokens

10. What is Sharing Policy?

Sharing policies allow you to control how users in your organization can share calendar and contact

information with users outside the organization. To provision recipients to use a particular sharing

policy

Prerequisites to create a Sharing Policy

A federation trust has been created between your Exchange 2010 organization and Microsoft

Federation Gateway, and the Federated Organization Identifier is configured.

Although you can create a sharing policy for any external domain, recipients from the specifieddomain can access your users information only if they have a mailbox in an Exchange 2010

organization and their domain is federated
