Useful tips and tricks for Exchange

Not sure how much NDA there was at the Microsoft Open Day last week so I'll hedge my bets and not discuss the stuff that even *might* be suspect.

Quite apart from the whole thing being really useful, have a look at this lot:
Unified Communications. Not Unified Messaging, but beyond that. Taking Exchange 2007 UM gateways and the whole of the excellent Exchange suite further, integrating it with LCS (Live Communications Server) and allowing you to be contactable via your office number or even just your name - whether you are at your desk, on your mobile, at home or elsewhere.

The power of Active Directory working for you can sort of allow you to fill in the fields for all staff then you specify which number you are currently on and the UM gateway takes care of it all.

This was demo'd by Brett Johnson (http://blogs.technet.com/brettjo/) and Greg Taylor who doesn't seem to have a blog. Perhaps he has a life? Yikes, what a prospect.
