CLIENT-SIDE FEATURES 31
New and Improved Outlook Web App
Those of us who gushed when we saw the Outlook Web Access interface in Exchange 2003
thought a web interface could not get much better. For Outlook Web App in Exchange 2010,
the Exchange team started over from scratch to build a much more f unctional interface than
ever before. Here are some of the new features in Outlook Web App 2010:
◆ Ability to browse the Global Address List (GAL)
◆ Ability to manage and remotely wipe Windows mobile devices
◆ Improved meeting booking features
◆ Ability to perform full-text searches on mailbox content
◆ Selectable message format (HTML or plaintext) when composing a message
◆ Ability to set out-of-office messages, define them as internal or external, and schedule when
they start
◆ Ability to manage voicemail features such as their greeting, reset their voicemail PIN, and
turn on missed call notifications
◆ Conversation view, which provides threaded views of email conversations
◆ Exchange Control Panel (ECP), which allows an end user to update their own directory
information as well as manage their own group membership
Windows Mobile and Improved Security
Windows Mobile and ActiveSync device support are certainly not new features to Exchange Server
2010. Exchange Server 2003 had good support for Windows Mobile devices, and you could even
support mobile devices using Microsoft Mobile Information Server and Exchange 2000.
If you have supported Windows Mobile devices or other types of mobile devices, you
realize how important centralized policies and security can be for your organization and
your users. The latest versions of Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) have been improved greatly over
the years. T he newest features can be assigned to users based on the ActiveSync policy that is
assigned to the user. Figure 1.16 shows two of the advanced properties pages.
