Starting today the implementation of HTTP > HTTPS redirects for WSS 3.0 domains is getting underway. The decision to implement it is well thought over and here are the main reasons for doing that:

1. to ensure security for SharePoint sites

2. to resolve long lasting problems with SharePoint search (in reality it does not work at all thru http)

Based on these factors and a number of smaller ones the decision to enforce it was made.

Within a month or so it will be implemented across our infrustructure. The change itself is transparent to the customers so no one should even notice that:)

Today we are beginning installation of recently released Rollup Update 7 for Exchange 2007 (link will open in a new window) that fixes LOTS of annoying issues that we’ve been suffering from! Among them is notorious IMAP service failures for example, some of you may have heard of them:)

The complete description and list of fixes can be found here.

Please note the installation of RU7 across all domains will take approximately 1 month and we expect it to be complete by the mid-May.
