Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Release Date

Published 21/08/2009 | By RasmusH

It seems that the release of the next version of Microsoft Exchange will follow the release of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

Microsoft has announced a series of launce events for Exchange 2010, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 all over USA.

The first event is by the end of September this year (September 24.) and Exchange 2010 is one of the products on this event.

As always here on IT-Pro Knowledge, we guess based on rumors. And the best guess for when we can get hold of the Exchange 2010 code, is some time early October

Response Group tabs not working

Published 13/08/2009 | By RasmusH

When using the agent tabs for Office Communications Server Response Group Service (RGS), you might experince problems with getting content in the RGS tab.

On a client computer the tabs shows “Connecting….” as it should

After a short while the RGS tab times out and displays the error message; “Sorry, this page is

temporarily unavailable. Click here to try again”

This problem is caused by problems connecting to the OCS web service (on the Front-End server) To solve this problem in my case, I just needed to add the OCS Front End server to the Local Intranet Zone in Internet Explorer the get Integrated Authentication working

After adding the server to the IE Zone, the response Group tab was working again.
