The new Exchange release was accompanied by lots of secondary tasks – from server-side to customer-oriented – and now when 2010 is up and running we can finally recover our breath and update our Knowledge Base. Lots of articles were remastered and rewritten to include new information but for now I want to present you with the new articles that were created specifically for Exchange 2010.
What are the limitations of my Exchange 2010 account?
Here you can find the limitations for the 2010 accounts, i.e. the number of the allowed company contacts/distribution lists/domain names/public folders/etc. Please note the limits for the accounts with 50 and more mailboxes differ from those that are set smaller accounts.
Please note: the three articles mentioned below apply to 2010 Enterprise accounts only! Find more info here: and here: How do I upgrade from Business to Enterprise Exchange 2010 account?
Exchange 2010 Company Disclaimer feature
The disclaimer feature has been upgraded since 2007 so now you can modify and use the following:
- Disclaimer text (well that’s not great news, but please note you have up to 5000 characters, spaces, HTML tags included)
- HTML tags and in-line CSS Styles
- User Attributes (Display Name, First Name, Department etc. These attributes can be used in personalized signatures as well
- Behavior with messages that can’t be modified (for example if they’re encrypted)
Enterprise Exchange 2010: How do I create mailbox in the specific site location?
As you may know we have two datacenters with Exchange 2010 servers (West one and East one) and we give you a possibility to choose where to create your mailboxes. You can select the one that’s closer to you while the other one would have a copy of all mailboxes data in case something happens with your datacenter.
How do I find appropriate settings to connect to my Exchange 2010 mailbox?
Two datacenters have different settings you should use to connect, so you have to choose the correct ones for your mailbox otherwise the e-mail client won’t work. The article would help you to find out which ones would be correct for each mailbox.
I’m pretty sure more articles are to come so stay tuned.

• How do I backup Outlook Rules?
• How do I backup Outlook user settings?
• How do I backup Outlook signatures?

Exciting news for everyone who is still on Exchange 2003: Intermedia has changed the migration process, and changed it considerably.
BEFORE you had to pay us for the data migration and assistance or perform the migration on your own.
NOW we can migrate you to the 2007 platform for free. You have to create an 2007 account with Intermedia either by using our Intermedia website interface or by contacting our sales department (1-800-379-7729 option 2), log into your new account and request a migration from there. The following process is the best way to migrate with as little inconvenience and impact as possible.
Please take a closer look here: Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007 Migration Procedure. The article contains detailed information about each step and would help you to understand the way migration is performed.

An update to our HostPilot control panel interface that happened a while ago has brought several new features for Windows 2008 accounts.
One of the most important improvement can be mentioned is the renovated “Access Permissions” section that now allows the powerfull and flexible way to control access for a different site areas, share folders contents between the site users and protect the sensitive data from unauthorized site visitors.
The complete description on how to use the new functionality can be found in the Knowledge Base article, “Managing access permissions for Windows 2008\IIS7 site“.
A couple of examples that explain how to restrict access for the site folders are covered in the article, “How do I restrict access to my Windows 2008/IIS7 site?”.
