In 2003 appeared for the first time in three year a new version of Exchange. The renewed mailbeheerprogramma, sleepiness criticized because of its vulnerability, is built around the draft 'safety'. That told Microsoft-boss Steve Ballmer Monday during a speech. The new Exchange will connect on Pantry 11, that naturally also a renewed Outlook get will.

Exchange Server has been connected the central e-mailbeheercomponent that on the Microsoft Outlook-clint. It becomes uses then also mainly through businesses round to regulate the mailtraffic of several users. The most recent version is Exchange 2000, that almost two years ago appeared.

Time for an update, find she in Redmond. That becomes 'Titanium', revealed Ballmer Monday. A first test version will appeared somewhere in the fall, the definitive execution is launched in the summer by 2003. Titanium is not the same as 'Kodiak', an execution of Exchange where previously with were peddled and that closely connected on the new Microsoft SQL Server (code name 'Yukon'). Kodiak is not disappeared of the screen, but appeared level a lot of years from now.

In contrast till the upgrade of Exchange 5.5 to 2000, that among many the implementatie of Active Directory restrained, will the change to Titanium less with difficulty be for networkadministrators. After complaints of customers, is the upgrade easier to install. That told Malcolm Pearson, manager of Microsofts Exchange Serve-division.

But Titanium turns especially around safety. In the past year Microsoft many criticism has must swallow about the bad protection of its products. Especially the e-mail-applications of Microspft came to lie regularly under fire. According to critics these programs the spread of viruses in the hand worked.

As the virusscan-API is expanded, that in Exchange 2000 Services Pack 1 to find is, further. The API can harmed be called by software of to block viruses on the mailserver. This reduces the chance on infection because the fraudulent program never at the user arrives.

Titanium will become also in a standard way different geconfigureerd. Where older Exchange Servers (and other MS-products) the tendency had to begin with all features called in, will Titanium leave from a base configuration. If a networkadministrator start want for instance webmail for users, then will that must become aanput. In the past saw to features that pleased without that a administrator it knew, sleepiness for unseen back-doors.,.

There also a better back-upfunction comes volume shadow copy, through which fast snapshots Of the want to can be made. That position sit Server actual in. Just, but is supported by Exchange. Titanium contain Server also standard Microsofts Mobile Internet, before the sending of PIM-information to pocket computers and mobile telephones. Also the Outlook Web Access (OWA) becomes strengthen freshened. Presumably will that the same had to get as Outlook 11.

Pearson says also that the new Exchange more users will manage then 2000, so that less servers necessary are. Until end will the better connect by the. Just-plan of Microsoft.
