Covering topics such as how to grant or deny mailbox permissions; backing up and restoring Exchange data with recovery storage groups; and using the Performance Monitor tool to detect Exchange 2003 message queue problems, these were the most popular Exchange Server topics of the past year.

#1    Grant or deny permissions to access a user's Exchange 2007 mailbox
Need to access another user's Exchange 2007 mailbox? The simplest way would involve sharing their login credentials, but this presents far too great a security risk. Instead learn how to grant or deny permissions to access a user's mailbox using the Exchange Management Shell (EMS), along with how to use EMS to monitor those permissions.
#2    Enable incoming and outgoing email in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007
Enabling incoming and outgoing email within Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 allows users more connectivity with Microsoft Outlook and, thus, more productivity. In this tip, you'll learn how to enable incoming and outgoing email in MOSS 2007 in Exchange and non-Microsoft Exchange Server environments.
#3    Manage Exchange 2007 public folders from Exchange Management Console
Upon release, Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 was without key public folder management features. However, with the release of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 SP1, that has changed. After downloading and installing SP1, discover how to add and use public folder management functionality in the Exchange Management Console.
#4    How to back up and restore Exchange data with recovery storage groups
All Exchange administrators need to consider a data recovery procedure for their servers, in case of an unexpected disaster or the accidental deletion of important emails. This tip offers a comprehensive option. Learn how to back up Exchange data to recovery storage groups (RSG) and restore data from an RSG to a live information store using ExMerge or Exchange System Manager.
#5    Migrating resource mailboxes from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007
If you've upgraded from Exchange Server 2003 to Exchange Server 2007, you'll be pleased to know you won't have to start from scratch. Learn how to migrate and convert Exchange 2003 resource mailboxes to Exchange 2007 room or equipment mailboxes using the Exchange Management Shell (EMS).
#6    Remove Exchange 2007 public folder stores from a Mailbox Server role
If you are attempting to uninstall the Mailbox Server role after installing Exchange Server 2007 SP1, you will find a bug exists that prohibits removing a Mailbox Server role if it contains public folder stores. This tip contains a step-by-step process to remove these public folder stores, including one that involves using ADSI Edit to change an Active Directory database.
#7    Use Performance Monitor to detect Exchange 2003 message queue problems
Corrupt messages can exist in even the most properly functioning Exchange Server 2003 system, causing mail flow issues and performance slowdowns. To confront these issues head-on, discover how to use the Performance Monitor tool in Exchange Server 2003 to set SMTP queue email message threshold values and prevent mail flow issues.
#8    Exchange 2007 memory and hardware configuration best practices
