Feature
new/Improved Description
Easy and Efficient Deployments
Server Roles
new
A modular system of five server roles reduces 
the time required for installation, minimizes 
manual configuration by the administrator, and 
increases security by limiting the surface area 
available for attack.
Exchange Best Practices 
Analyzer (ExBPA)
Improved
now embedded in setup and available through 
the Exchange Management Console toolbox, 
the Exchange Best Practices Analyzer not only 
identifies configuration discrepancies that may 
lead to service outages and reliability problems, 
but also assists with deployment and setup.
Outlook Autodiscover
new
Configuring Microsoft Office Outlook
®
 2007 
to connect with Exchange Server 2007 is 
easier than ever. If the user is logged on to the 
network, Exchange Server 2007 automatically 
configures the user’s Outlook profile.
Exchange Management Pack 
for Microsoft Operations 
Manager
Improved
Manual configuration of Microsoft System 
Center Operations Manager is greatly reduced. 
Rules directly align with Exchange Server 2007 
server roles, and management can be done 
using the Exchange Management Console or 
Exchange Management Shell.
Single Migration Engine
Improved
All mailbox migration tools have been 
combined into a single, comprehensive tool 
that allows administrators to perform intra- or 
inter-organizational migrations, minimizing 
complexity.
Administrator Productivity
Exchange Management 
Console
Improved
An improved graphical user interface simplifies 
the navigation tree down to three layers of 
depth, with actions easily discovered through a 
new action pane. Management and trouble-
shooting tools are integrated in the toolbox.
Exchange Management Shell
new
A new command-line interface, based on 
Windows PowerShell, allows administrators to 
automate routine and repetitive tasks.
Flexible Permission Model
Improved
Permissions become more granular and 
straightforward to manage. The permissions 
model enables a set of new, predefined 
administrator roles.
