Hi all,

I’ve waited for Exchange 2010 SP1 for a long time and I must say I like:

- The ability to create mailbox archives on a different server/database (the ability to host the archives online is interesting too).

- The ability to reset corrupted virtual directories (yes, I’m a lazy person).

- Scripting Agent (I know I could do some of it with a daily script running on new mailboxes but still).

- New-MailboxRepairRequest.

- Distribution group naming policies.

- More GUI options for managing DAGs.

- The ability to install the required Windows roles/features.

- The ability to set Public Folder permission from the Exchange Management Console (welcome back!).

- Import/export .pst files without outlook.

- Soft-deleted mailboxes.

- SMS Sync looks a nice feature, I hope other mobile clients will support it too.

- Calendar publishing looks like a nice feature too.

P.S. in case it wasn’t obvious - I didn’t intend to list all the changes, just the ones I like! for the full list, check out http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff459257.aspx
