IMPROVED MESSAGE AND CONTENT CONTROL 21
tasks can be performed from the EMS (command-line interface); a subset of these tasks can
be performed from the EMC graphical user interface. Anything that can be performed from
the EMC can be performed via the EMS; there are advanced administrative tasks that can be
performed only from the EMS.
The EMC (shown in Figure 1.9) has b een completely redesigned to make it easier to use, to
better organize Exchange management tasks, to reduce the complexity, and to make adminis-
trative tasks more discoverable.
The new console is built on top of an entirely new scripting technology called PowerShell
and a set of Exchange-specific extensions called the EMS.
Improved Message and Content Control
All messaging system administrators can relate to challenges, such as adequately managing the
content that is stored on their mail servers, keeping business-essential information available
when it is required, removing content that is no longer necessary, controlling the flow of mes-
saging information, and preventing disclosure of information. If one or more of these challenges
has been a problem for you, then Exchange 2010 has solutions.
Messaging Records Management
Messaging records management was initially introduced in Exchange Server 2007and brings
about a new concept in the control of messaging content. Messaging records management
allows administrators to more closely control the life of message content (email, voicemail,
calendar entries, and so o n) from the moment the information is created on the Exchange
server until the point at which that information no longer has business or legal value. This
helps the organization maintain important records as long as necessary but discard unnecessary
information in a timely fashion. These are configured at the organization level so they will
affect all Mailbox server roles.
To a certain extent, some of the features of messaging records management are distantly
related to the Exchange 2000/2003 Mailbox Manager. There are a number of components to
messaging records management, as shown in Table 1.2.

Component Function
Managed default folders Default folders are found when an Outlook MAPI client uses its mailbox,
including Calendar, Contacts, Deleted Items, Inbox, Junk E-mail, Sent
Items, RSS Feeds, and so on.
Managed custom fold ers Managed custom folders are fold ers that are created by the Exchange
server administrator for users who are included in a managed folder
mailbox policy. Storage limits and managed content settings can be
applied to these folders.
Managed folder mailbox
policies
Managed folder policies define which folders are included in a particular
policy. Managed folder mailbox policies are then assigned to mailboxes.
Managed content settings Managed content settings define retention settings and message journaling
features for content, such as messages and voicemail.
