Hello All,
My June presentation focused on Exchange Virtualization'
May & June Presentations here
Also, reminder that the May presentation by Bob Hunt (Microsoft) is online as well. It's 62 pages of glory about Exchange 2010 SP1. Also, an upcoming Outlook 2007 SP will add the "Online Archive" functionality as well.
Also, the Associated Press reached out to me in search of a senior level Exchange admin. If you have the experience, see below and apply for it. 18 Exchange Servers sounds like fun.

3.Here they are: 1) Fixed/Thick disk, 2) SCSI pass-through storage, and 3) iSCSI storage targets.
Bonus Question: Which versions support which method?
