Exchange 2010 SP2: featuring GAL segmentation

four new features so far:
*owa mini
-administered through EMS: set-owamailboxpolicy name-owalightenabled:$true
-completed rewrite from ground up
-alternate version of owa interface

*hybrid configuration wizard: (marrying the on premise exchange w/office 365)
-visit session on Wed for a walk through rm206
-80%reduction work from before

*address book policies/GAL segmentation:
-reasons for using this feature: leagal compliance, optimization, hosting reasons
-the white paper posted for exchange 2007 will not work
-going from allow/deny model to direct assignment to the user
-when a user is connected and is part of the address book policy, the associated GAL will be visible
-no need for a OU hierarchy to manage the users for GAL
-you can create separate OABs based on the policies
-the address book policy assignment is part of the mailbox creation from EMC and EMS
-custom attributes are still the most affective way of setting filters for DLs


*Caveats
-outlook for MAC will not be subject to ABP (Address Book Policy), it accesses AD directly
-you can't put the CAS role on the GC as well
-if you span DLs over ABP, you need to disable group management in ECP as ECP uses get-group which ignores ABP
-ABP are not legal separation
-ABP does not hide lync presence across the org

*Random facts:
-second half of 2011, 20 Million lines of code written in 6-7 languages, more than half are for testing.
-forms based authentication is the key to single sign on when hosting multiple sites of AD
-check: https://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange
-sp2 tap is available

sp2 will involve schema changes
there are about 500 bug fixes for this one
