Saves a configuration step for users/admins and makes it possible for the user to use the exact same signatures in OWA, EAS, etc. etc.. signature outlook Voting 101 votes Active Completed Active Submitted by Dave Stork 08/Dec/13 11:55 PM Mobile access OWA App for Android Phones/Tablets An app like the OWA App for iPhone/iPad, but now for Android devices. No need for ActiveSync and all it’s troubles that come with it (for instance: SD encryption sometimes formats the SD with loss of data) and no worries about a complete remote wipe (potentially wiping personal data). android mobile outlook web apps Voting 27 votes Active Completed Active Submitted by Dave Stork 08/Dec/13 11:56 PM Mobile access OWA App for Windows Phone An app like the OWA App for iPhone/iPad, but now for Windows Phone devices. No need for ActiveSync and no worries about a complete remote wipe (potentially wiping personal data). It also allows for a more Premium experience on WP, compared to the native ActiveSync implementation. mobile outlook web apps windows phone Voting 20 votes Active Completed Completed Submitted by Michel de Rooij 09/Dec/13 2:23 AM Exchange Server Set-MailboxSentItemsConfiguration Adding Set-MailboxSentItemsConfiguration / Get-MailboxSentItemsConfiguration for Exchange 2013, which is more elegant and manageable than setting (version-dependent) Outlook registry keys. administration powershell exchange management shell Voting 38 votes Active Completed Active Submitted by Michel de Rooij 09/Dec/13 2:28 AM Outlook Client Prepopulated FROM: Pre-filled FROM: dropdown listbox in mail composition form (also OWA), using info from delegated / shared mailboxes a.o.

That had the ability to preview the Exchange Management Shell syntax or in other cases to review the used syntax after it was applied. This ability is a great learning tool but also a valuable tool for documentation. administration powershell exchange admin center Voting 49 votes Active Completed Active Submitted by Jetze Mellema 09/Dec/13 3:15 AM Exchange Server Real-time block list support Exchange 2007/2010 supported the Connection Filtering Agent on the Hub Transport role. This agent is not available on the Exchange 2013 CAS and Mailbox roles. This means we can’t use real-time block lists on Exchange 2013 servers. Which is a shame because RBL’s have proven to be a great measurement against spam. exchange transport spam Voting 20 votes Active Completed Active Submitted by Jetze Mellema 09/Dec/13 4:38 AM Exchange Server PAL tool treshold file for Exchange 2013 PAL (http://pal.codeplex.com/) is the best tool to assist with Exchange performance issues. The tool helps with the creation of performance monitor counter logs and analyzing the logs against a threshold file. Unfortunately there’s no threshold file for Exchange 2013 and the author of the 2010 versions doesn’t respond to email.

It would be nice to see a prompt asking if you’d like those removed. Otherwise you have to manually remove them to make that extension available for another user. unified messaging Voting 4 votes Active Completed Active Submitted by Pat Richard (@patrichard) 09/Dec/13 6:29 AM Unified Messaging Allow customization of more UM system prompts Right now, there are something like 2900 UM system prompts. It’s not supported to change them, and installing a CU overwrites them. It would be nice to have it supported to change them, along with a list of which prompts contain which message. unified messaging Voting 5 votes Active Completed Active Submitted by Theresa Miller 09/Dec/13 6:49 AM Exchange Server Delegate Cleanup When a user leaves the organization and their mailbox and AD account are removed the delegate information get’s stuck in the Outlook client and creates errors for the users until it is removed. Is there anyway to make this a function of AD or Exchange so that this removed when a user leaves? administration delegates Voting 35 votes Active Completed Active Submitted by Theresa Miller 09/Dec/13 6:51 AM Mobile access Mobile Device Cleanup Mobile devices connecting to Exchange is the way of the future yet most of the time when we get new devices the old one stays in the list. I have a powershell script to clean these up, but it would be nice if this could be automated through Exchange. administration mobile Voting 20 votes Active Completed Active Submitted by Community Member 09/Dec/13 8:20 AM Exchange Server Calendar improvement We host our Exchange and Lync community calls and send the invites out via DL’s. Generally this has been good and a major improvement over trying to maintain the list of invitees within the event itself. However, it’s far from perfect, people end up with old/stale invites, don’t get updates, get forward the invite so never receive updates etc. The solution, to my mind, is a calendar that people subscribe to – that way... more » calendar Voting 12 votes Active Completed Active Submitted by Dave Stork 09/Dec/13 8:40 AM Exchange Server Certificate request: support for direct use of internal CA When generating certificate requests, you cannot directly use an internal CA such as with the Lync Deployment tool. This isn’t an issue for public certificates, but for internal certificates (for instance OAuth) this would make my life a bit more pleasant. certificate management...
