Exchange 14 (Exchange Labs)
If you have seen a slow down in the number of blogs that I have been writing let me explain with the little information that I am allowed to finally release. Yesterday the Exchange team released a sneak peak video of OWA for Exchange Labs which is running the next version of Exchange code name E14.
Currently Exchange Labs is hosting about 3.5 million mailboxes running on Beta code of Exchange.
I have been working with Microsoft for over 1 year now on testing this product and have been eagerly awaiting the day that I am able to start provding the public with information about Exchange 14.
As for now I can pass on this video http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2009/01/13/450397.aspx
here is your first look at the OWA page in Exchange 14
As you can see in the video the Exchange team has been working heavily to provide Admin functions into OWA. When a user clicks the options button they are taken to /ECP (Exchange Control Panel)
One huge additions to the options is the ability of a user to update thier directory information like phone number, address etc.. the fields that a user can edit can be controlled.
Once a user has been delegated other permissions they will also be able to
1. Create distribution groups
2. Join distribution groups
3. Create mailboxes
4. Create mail contacts
Self or Org management
There are tons of additional changes to OWA but I can only reference a few at the moment.
I hope you like your sneak preview……..

If the mailboxes are linked mailboxes in a resource forest (bound to disabled objects, that are synced from account domains using ILM/MIIS), then were will these field edits take place ? In the resource forest (which is not what I want) or in the account domains itself ?

Could you explain a bit more on what you mean by field edits…. I believe you may be asking about the user update on the account? That can be removed so the user cannot update any information. In a linked mbx scenario the account domain account is basically given full control over the disable object .
