Discontinued Features in Exchange Server 2010

 
by Ismail Mohammed, Exchange MVP

Here is a recap of some of the discontinued features in Exchange Server 2010.

1. No more Storage group concept: The entire database will be stored at the organizational level rather than storing it on Server level. So no more PowerShell command for storage group. This removal of storage group being a one sort of major advantage because we can mount the store from any server based on the availability server. Thanks to Microsoft.

2. No more complicated cluster configuration: Exchange 2010 uses DAG (Database Availability Group) for high availability method which doesn’t require any effort from an Administrator to do any more cluster configuration. Everything is automated and it is not much tedious or complicated compare to Exchange 2003\Exchange 2007

3. No more confusion in selecting the best high availability method: In Exchange 2003 there was SCC method but what about the site disaster solution? Third party. In Exchange 2007 there was several high availability methods for database and site resilience like LCR, CCR, SCC and SCR. Sometime it might be bit confusion for us whether we will go for SCC or CCR based on the investment approved. Now in Exchange Server 2010 – LCR, SCC, SCR and CCR has been removed and we are following only one high availability method called as DAG which will have the same replication technology concept where server can be placed in LAN or WAN.
