What's New in Exchange 2010
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298136%28v=exchg.141%29.aspx
Flexible and Reliable
The pressure to optimize your IT infrastructure to respond to changing business conditions demands
agility and that means investing in solutions that provide you and your organization choice. Exchange
2010 gives you the flexibility to tailor your deployment based on your organization's unique needs and a
simplified way to help keep e-mail continuously available for your users.
High Availability Functionality
Exchange 2010 integrates high availability into the core architecture of Exchange to enable customers of
all sizes and in all segments to economically deploy a messaging continuity service in their organization.
Exchange 2010 includes many changes to its core architecture. In Exchange 2010, new features such as
incremental deployment, mailbox database copies, and database availability groups work with other
features such as shadow redundancy and transport dumpster to provide a new, unified platform for high
availability and site resilience.
Exchange Store and Mailbox Database Functionality
The following is a list of core store functionality that's included or has been changed in Exchange 2010:





Deprecated storage groups
Mailbox databases no longer connected to the server object
Improvements in Extensible Storage Engine (ESE) for high availability, performance, and
database mobility
Flattened Outlook store schema
Enhanced reporting with public folders
Permissions Functionality
In Exchange 2010, Role Based Access Control (RBAC) replaces the permissions model used in Exchange
2007. Using RBAC, you can define extremely broad or extremely precise permissions models based on
the roles of your administrators and users.
For administrators and specialist users, management role groups define what these users can manage in
the organization. Role groups associate role group members to a set of management roles that define
what the members can do. By adding or removing users as members of role groups, and adding or
removing role assignments to or from a role group, you can control what aspects of the organization the
members can manage.
For end users, management role assignment policies define what users can configure on their own
mailbox. Assignment policies are applied to every mailbox either by default or manually, and enable you
to control whether users can change their personal information, contact information, distribution group
membership, and so on.
Both role groups and role assignment policies are assigned management roles. Management roles
control access to the cmdlets and parameters required to perform a task. For example, if a cmdlet exists
on a management role, and that role is assigned to a role group, the members of that role group can
then use that cmdlet.
Transport and Routing Functionality
The following is a list of new transport and routing functionality included in Exchange 2010:










Shadow redundancy
MailTips
Moderated transport
Federated delivery
Latency service level agreement (SLA) management
End-to-end message tracking
Incremental EdgeSync
Transport rules integration with AD RMS
Transport dumpster improvements
Transport database improvements
Exchange Server 2010 Deployment Assistant
Exchange Server 2010 introduces the Exchange Server Deployment Assistant, or ExDeploy, a new Webbased tool that can help you with your Exchange deployment. ExDeploy asks you a few questions about
your current environment and then generates a custom checklist and procedures that help simplify your
deployment.
Administration Functionality in the Exchange Management Console
The following is a list of the new core Exchange Management Console (EMC) features included in
Exchange 2010. The core EMC refers to new functionality that affects how you use the EMC, and not
how you use specific features:







Ability to add Exchange forests to the console tree
Customer Feedback start tab
Community and Resources
EMC command logging
Property dialog box command exposure
RBAC permissions aware for the EMC
Online Exchange Help
Administration Functionality in the Exchange Management Shell
The following is a list of features available in the new Exchange Management Shell:


Remote administration With the new Shell, you can connect to remote servers running
Exchange 2010 across the network with only Windows Management Framework installed, which
includes Windows PowerShell. For more information, see Overview of Exchange Management
Shell.
RBAC integration The Shell works with RBAC to give you and your users access only to the
cmdlets and parameters you and they are allowed to use. If your permissions don't allow you to


configure a certain feature, you aren't given access to the cmdlets, parameters, or both, that
manage that feature. For more information, see Understanding Role Based Access Control.
Administrator audit logging Actions that result in the modification of Exchange organization
configuration and other object properties in the EMC, the Web management interface, and the
Shell can now be logged for later review. For more information, see Overview of Administrator
Audit Logging.
Improved multiple-valued property syntax Instead of running multiple commands to add and
remove values from a single property, you can now add and remove values with a single
command. For more information, see Modifying Multivalued Properties.
Exchange Control Panel
Administrators can use the Exchange Control Panel for Outlook Web App to manage some on-premises
tasks. The following is a list of the administrative features available:





Text messaging integration
Voice messaging integration
Multiple mailbox search
Additional proxy addresses for mailboxes
Moderation and approval for distribution list submission
In addition, users have self-service capabilities in that they can perform administrative tasks via the
Exchange Control Panel. The ECP enables users to perform common tasks without having to call the help
desk. This allows your users to be more productive and allows IT staff to deliver more, while reducing
support costs.
Mailbox and Recipient Functionality
The following is a list of the new mailbox and recipient functionality that's included or has been changed
in Exchange 2010:








Ability for users to share information, such as calendar free/busy information and contacts with
users who reside in a different organization

their own distribution groups in Outlook Web App and Exchange 2010
Ability to appoint a moderator to regulate the flow of messages sent to a distribution group
Ability to manage folder-level permissions for all folders within a user's mailbox
Expanded bulk recipient management to allow you to bulk manage recipient properties
Ability to send mail to recipients from the EMC
Exchange Web Services Managed API 1.0
The Microsoft Exchange Web Services (EWS) Managed API 1.0 provides a managed interface for
developing client applications that use Exchange Web Services. Beginning with Exchange 2007 Service
Pack 1 (SP1), the EWS Managed API simplifies the implementation of applications that communicate
with Exchange. Built on the Exchange Web Services SOAP protocol and Autodiscover, the EWS Managed
API provides a .NET interface to Exchange Web Services that's designed to be easy to learn, use, and
maintain.
Client Throttling Functionality to Manage System Performance
Exchange 2010 uses client throttling policies to manage the performance of your Exchange organization.
To do this, Exchange tracks the resources that each user consumes and enforces connection bandwidth
limits as necessary.
Some of the benefits of client throttling include making sure that:


Users aren't intentionally or unintentionally taxing the system.
Users of various connectivity methods are proportionally sharing resources.
You manage client throttling policies with Shell cmdlets. For more information about client throttling
policies, see Understanding Client Throttling Policies.
Anywhere Access
Enhancements in Exchange 2010 helps users get more done by helping them to access all of their
communications—e-mail, voice mail, instant messaging—from virtually any platform, Web-browser, or
device through industry standard protocols. Managing the flow of information into and out of an
individual’s inbox daily can create overload and affect productivity and profitability. In response to this
challenge, Exchange 2010 adds new productivity features that can help users more easily organize and
effectively prioritize their communications.

information about POP3 and IMAP4 client connectivity features, see Understanding POP3 and IMAP4.
Protection and Compliance
Exchange 2010 delivers new, integrated e-mail archiving and retention functionality, including granular
multi-mailbox search and immediate legal hold. Exchange 2010 also helps you to better protect your
company’s communications and e-mail through centrally managed information control capabilities. This
includes the ability to more effectively intercept, moderate, encrypt, and block e-mail messages.
Together, this functionality provides you with a flexible range of protection and control options,
whether you want to automatically enforce controls or empower users to implement their own data
protection.

What's New in Exchange 2010 SP1
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff459257%28v=exchg.141%29.aspx
New Deployment Functionality
During an Exchange 2010 SP1 installation, you can now select a new option to install the required
Windows roles and features for each selected Exchange 2010 SP1 server role. For more information, see
New Deployment Functionality in Exchange 2010 SP1.
Client Access Server Role Improvements
The improvements and new features in the Client Access server role fall under several key areas:
Federation certificates, Exchange ActiveSync, SMS Sync, Integrated Rights Management, Microsoft
Office Outlook Web App, and virtual directories. Each area is described in more detail in the following
sections.
Federation Certificates
In Exchange 2010 SP1, you can use a self-signed certificate instead of a certificate issued by a Certificate
Authority to establish a federation trust with the Microsoft Federation Gateway. A self-signed certificate
is automatically created and installed on Exchange servers in your organization when you use the New
Federation Trust wizard in the Exchange Management Console. For more information, see
Understanding Federation.
Exchange ActiveSync
In Exchange 2010 SP1, you can manage Exchange ActiveSync devices using the Exchange Control Panel
(ECP). Administrators can perform the following tasks:






Manage the default access level for all mobile phones and devices.
Set up e-mail alerts when a mobile phone or device is quarantined.
Personalize the message that users receive when their mobile phone or device is either
recognized or quarantined.
Provide a list of quarantined mobile phones or devices.
Create and manage Exchange ActiveSync device access rules.
Allow or block a specific mobile phone or device for a specific user.
For every user, the administrator can perform the following tasks from the user's property pages:





List the mobile phones or devices for a specific user.
Initiate remote wipes on mobile phones or devices.
Remove old mobile phone or device partnerships.
Create a rule for all users of a specific mobile phone or device or mobile phone type.
Allow or block a specific mobile phone or device for the specific user.
SMS Sync
SMS Sync is a new feature in Exchange ActiveSync that works with Windows Mobile 6.1 with the
Outlook Mobile Update and with Windows Mobile 6.5. SMS Sync is the ability to synchronize messages
between a mobile phone or device and an Exchange 2010 Inbox. When synchronizing a Windows Mobile
phone with an Exchange 2010 mailbox, users can choose to synchronize their text messages in addition
to their Inbox, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and Notes. When synchronizing text messages, users will be
able to send and receive text messages from their Inbox. This feature is dependent on the user's mobile
phones or devices supporting this feature.
Server-Side Information Rights Management Support
Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policies now contain support for Information Rights Management (IRM)
functionality. Information Rights Management is enabled when creating a new Exchange ActiveSync
mailbox policy. This new functionality allows non-Windows Mobile devices to receive and view
protected e-mails. When the IRMEnabled property is configured on the Exchange ActiveSync mailbox
policy and IRM is enabled for Client Access Servers, the protected e-mail will be decrypted on the server
before it is downloaded to the mobile phone or device. The downloaded e-mail will be downloaded with
additional properties that indicate the restrictions sent with the original e-mail. Protected messages will
only be decrypted and downloaded if the mobile phone or device connects to the Client Access server
using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
Outlook Web App Improvements
The following is a list of the new Outlook Web App functionality in Exchange 2010 SP1:

Improved management of the relationship between Office Communications Server and Outlook
Web App. Configuration is stored in Active Directory instead of a web.config file and can be
managed via cmdlet.
Twenty-seven themes are available, and they have new administrative options:



Set default theme with the DefaultTheme parameter by using either the Set-OwaMailboxPolicy
or the Set-OwaVirtualDirectory cmdlet.
Create custom themes by modifying existing themes.
Control the order themes are listed in Outlook Web App.
By default, attachment types that are marked as Force Save will be excluded from security checks for
XML or HTML. You can change this behavior by setting the ForceSaveAttachmentFilteringEnabled
parameter to $true by using either the Set-OwaMailboxPolicy or the Set-OwaVirtualDirectory cmdlet.
Users can change unexpired passwords by default. In Exchange 2010 SP1, you can also enable users to
reset expired passwords. See Configuring the Change Password Feature in Outlook Web App.
Reset Virtual Directory
In Exchange 2010 SP1, you can use the new Reset Client Access Virtual Directory wizard to reset one or
more Client Access server virtual directories. The new wizard makes it easier to reset a Client Access
server virtual directory. One reason that you might want to reset a Client Access server virtual directory
is to resolve an issue related to a damaged file on a virtual directory. In addition to resetting virtual
directories, the wizard creates a log file that includes the settings for each virtual directory that you
choose to reset. For more information, see Reset Client Access Virtual Directories.
Client Throttling Policies
You can use client throttling policies to help you manage performance of your Client Access servers.
Consider the following changes as you use client throttling policies to manage performance when
running Exchange 2010 SP1.
In Exchange 2010 RTM, only the policies to limit the number of concurrent client connections were
enabled by default. In Exchange 2010 SP1, all client throttling policies are enabled by default.
In Exchange 2010 RTM, when the thresholds defined on a latency-based client throttling policy
parameter such as EWSPercentTimeInCAS were exceeded, Exchange would cause the transactions and
connections to fail. In Exchange 2010 SP1, exceeding the thresholds defined on a latency-based
throttling policy parameter will not cause a failure. Instead, Exchange will delay transactions and
connections until the transaction rate is within the policy limits. Such transaction and connection delays
will usually not be apparent to end users. Client throttling policy parameters with a hard quota limits
such as EWSMaxSubscriptions will cause a failure when exceeded. As an administrator, you can monitor
the impact of your performance policies and make adjustments as needed.
Two new cmdlets, Get-ThrottlingPolicyAssociation and Set-ThrottlingPolicyAssociation, help you manage
and apply client throttling polices to specific objects.
Improvements in Transport Functionality
The following is a list of new Transport functionality in Exchange 2010 SP1:

Permissions Functionality
The following is a brief description of new permissions features and enhancements in Exchange 2010
SP1:
Database scope support With database scopes, you can control which databases mailboxes can be
created for a given set of administrators and also control which databases they can manage. For more
information about database scopes, see Understanding Management Role Scopes.
Active Directory split permissions Active Directory split permissions enable you to completely separate
the administrative capabilities of Exchange administrators from your Active Directory administrators.
The ability to create and remove Active Directory users and groups and manage non-Exchange attributes
of Active Directory objects by Exchange administrators and servers has been removed in Exchange 2010
SP1. For more information about Active Directory split permissions, see Understanding Split
Permissions.
Improved user interface You can now create and manage management role groups and management
role assignment policies in the Exchange Control Panel (ECP). This includes adding and removing
management roles to role groups and role assignment policies, adding and removing members to and
from role groups, and assigning users to role assignment policies. For more information about how to
manage role groups and role assignment policies, see the following topics:

environment. The following is an overview of all the new features in Exchange 2010 Unified Messaging:






UM reporting The reports for Call Statistics and User Call Logs found in the Exchange
Management Console are displayed in the Exchange Control Panel.
UM management in the Exchange Control Panel You can usethe ECP to manage UM
components in a cross-premises environment.
Cross-Forest UM-enabled mailbox migration In Exchange 2010 SP1, you can use the NewMoveRequest cmdlet with the Mailbox Replication Service (MRS) to move a UM-enabled
mailbox within a local forest and multiple forests in an enterprise.
Outlook Voice Access improvements Outlook Voice Access users can log on to their Exchange
2010 mailbox and choose the order to listen to unread voice mail messages, from the oldest
message first or the newest message first.
Caller Name Display support Exchange 2010 SP1 includes support for enhanced caller ID

Display (CND).
Test-ExchangeUMCallFlow cmdlet With this Exchange 2010 SP1 cmdlet, you can test UM
connectivity and call flow.







New UM Dial Plan wizard An additional page has been added to the New UM Dial Plan wizard
that allows you to add a UM server to the dial plan.
Lync Server 2010 Support Migrating SIP URI dial plans and Message Waiting Indicator (MWI)
notifications in a cross-premises environment has been added.
Secondary UM dial plan support You can add a secondary UM dial plan for a UM-enabled user.
UM language packs added New UM language packs are now available in Exchange 2010 SP1. In
addition, the Spanish (Spain) (es-ES) UM language pack available for Exchange 2010 SP1 now
includes Voice Mail Preview, a feature that wasn’t available in the Exchange 2010 RTM release
of that language pack.
Call answering rules improvements There are three updates to Call Answering Rules for UMenabled users in SP1.
Unified Communications Managed API/speech platform improvements Beginning with
Exchange 2010 SP1, the UM server relies on Unified Communications Managed API v. 2.0
(UCMA) for its underlying SIP signaling and speech processing.
UM auto attendant update In Exchange 2010 SP1, a UM auto attendant will play only the
holiday greeting on a holiday.
Audit Logging Improvements
Exchange 2010 SP1 provides improvements in functionality related to administrator audit logging and
new functionality for mailbox audit logging:



Improvements in administrator audit logging Exchange 2010 enhances the administrator audit
logging functionality by providing you with the ability to perform searches of the admin audit log
using the Exchange Management Shell. You can search on cmdlet and parameter names, date,
the user who ran the command, and more. The results generated by your search can be
displayed on the screen or e-mailed to a recipient you specify and viewed as an XML file. And,
because all the administrative interfaces run Shell cmdlets in the background, the actions that
occur in all the interfaces can be logged.
New mailbox audit logging Exchange 2010 SP1 introduces new mailbox audit logging
functionality to allow you to track mailbox access by administrators, delegates, and mailbox
owners, and actions taken on mailbox items such as moving or deleting a message, using SendAs
or SendOnBehalf rights to send messages, and accessing a mailbox folder or a message. You can
use the ECP to generate a report of non-owner mailbox access and use the Shell to search
mailbox audit logs. For more information, see Understanding Mailbox Audit Logging.
The Exchange Control Panel also provides several reports which are generated based on the
audit logs in Exchange 2010 SP1.
Support for Hybrid Deployments with Exchange Online
Exchange 2010 SP1 includes the following functionality that supports hybrid deployments with Exchange
Online:

Migration of UM-enabled mailboxes The New-MoveRequest cmdlet can be used with the
Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service (MRS) to move a UM-enabled mailbox within a
hybrid deployment.



IRM support for hybrid deployments IRM is fully supported for hybrid deployments. The tenant
administrator can export the trusted publishing domain from the on-premises Active Directory
Rights Management Services (AD RMS) server and import it to the cloud-based service. This
functionality allows IRM-protected messages to be decrypted in the cloud, and cloud mailbox
users to send IRM-protected messages that on-premises mailbox users can decrypt and access.
Remote Mailboxes A new set of SP1 cmdlets allow you to create and manage a mail-enabled
user in the on-premises Active Directory site and at the same time create and manage the
associated mailbox in the cloud-based service. The cmdlets are:
o New-RemoteMailbox
o Set-RemoteMailbox
o Get-RemoteMailbox
o Enable-RemoteMailbox
o Disable-RemoteMailbox
o Remove-RemoteMailbox
Transport Updated features in Transport help ensure that message flow remains protected
between users regardless of where their mailboxes are located. Enhanced Transport features
such as MailTips, delivery reports, and message moderation also support this deployment
scenario.
Support for Multi-Tenancy
With Exchange 2010 SP1 built-in multi-tenant support, service providers that use Microsoft Service
Provider Licensing Agreement (SPLA) no longer need a solution such as Microsoft Hosted Messaging and
Collaboration version 4.5 to host multiple organizations. Multi-tenant support in Exchange 2010 SP1
provides the core feature set of Microsoft Exchange that can be deployed to multiple customers in a
single installation, and it also provides ease of management and flexibility of provided features to endusers.
In addition to including most of the features and functionality available in Exchange 2010 SP1 Enterprise
deployments, the multi-tenant solution available for Exchange 2010 SP1 also includes features and
functionality that allow you to create and manage tenant organizations. For more information, see
Multi-Tenant Support.
What's New in Exchange 2010 SP2
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh529924%28v=exchg.141%29.aspx
Hybrid Configuration Wizard
Exchange 2010 SP2 introduces the Hybrid Configuration Wizard which provides you with a streamlined
process to configure a hybrid deployment between on-premises and Office 365 Exchange organizations.
Hybrid deployments provide the seamless look and feel of a single Exchange organization and offer
administrators the ability to extend the feature-rich experience and administrative control of an onpremises organization to the cloud. For more information, see Understanding the Hybrid Configuration
Wizard.
Federated Delegation
In Exchange 2010 SP1, we recommended that organizations create a sub-domain of
“exchangedelegation” for the account namespace in their federation trust with the Microsoft Federation
Gateway. Now, in Exchange 2010 SP2, we have updated our recommendation and also automated the
configuration process. If you use the Manage Federation or Manage Hybrid Configuration wizards when
configuring a new federation trust, a pre-defined string is now automatically combined with an accepted
domain for your organization and assigned as the account namespace for the federation trust. The
account namespace for an existing federation trust is not modified by these wizards. For more
information, see Understanding Federation.
Address Book Policies
Exchange 2010 SP2 introduces the address book policy object which can be assigned to a mailbox user.
The ABP determines the global address list (GAL), offline address book (OAB), room list, and address lists
that are visible to the mailbox user that is assigned the policy. Address book policies provide a simpler
mechanism to accomplish GAL separation for the on-premises organization that needs to run disparate
GALs. For more information, see Understanding Address Book Policies.
Cross-Site Silent Redirection for Outlook Web App
With Exchange 2010 SP2, you can enable a silent redirection when a Client Access server receives a
client request that is better serviced by a Client Access server located in another Active Directory site.
This silent redirection can also provide a single sign-on experience when forms-based authentication is
enabled on each Client Access server. For more information, see Understanding Proxying and
Redirection.
Mini Version of Outlook Web App
The mini version of Outlook Web App is a lightweight browser-based client, similar to the Outlook
Mobile Access client in Exchange 2003. It’s designed to be used on a mobile operating system. The mini
version of Outlook Web App provides users with the following basic functionality:





Access to e-mail, calendar, contacts, tasks and the global address list.
Access to e-mail subfolders.
Compose, reply to, and forward e-mail messages.
Create and edit calendar, contact, and task items.
Handle meeting requests.

Set the time zone and automatic reply messages.
Mailbox Replication Service
In Exchange 2010 SP1, if you wanted to move mailboxes from on-premises to Outlook.com or to another
forest, you had to enable MRSProxy on the remote Client Access server. To do this, you had to manually
configure the web.config file on every Client Access server. In Exchange 2010 SP2, two parameters have
been added to the New-WebServicesVirtualDirectory and Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory cmdlets so
that you don't have to perform the manual configuration: MRSProxyEnabled and
MaxMRSProxyConnections. For more information, see Start the MRSProxy Service on a Remote Client
Access Server.
Mailbox Auto-Mapping
In Exchange 2010 SP1, Office Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 clients can automatically map to any
mailbox to which a user has Full Access permissions. If a user is granted Full Access permissions to
another user's mailbox or to a shared mailbox, Outlook, through Autodiscover, automatically loads all
mailboxes to which the user has full access. However, if the user has full access to a large number of
mailboxes, performance issues may occur when starting Outlook. Therefore, in Exchange 2010 SP2,
administrators can turn off the auto-mapping feature by setting the value of the new Automapping
parameter to $false on the Add-MailboxPermission cmdlets. For more information, see Disable Outlook
Auto-Mapping with Full Access Mailboxes.
Multi-Valued Custom Attributes
Exchange 2010 SP2 introduces five new multi-value custom attributes that you can use to store
additional information for mail recipient objects. The ExtensionCustomAttribute1 to
ExtensionCustomAttribute5 parameters can each hold up to 1,300 values. You can specify multiple
values as a comma-delimited list.The following cmdlets support these new parameters:






Set-DistributionGroup
Set-DynamicDistributionGroup
Set-Mailbox
Set-MailContact
Set-MailPublicFolder
Set-RemoteMailbox
Litigation Hold
In Exchange 2010 SP2, you can’t disable or remove a mailbox that has been placed on litigation hold. To
bypass this restriction, you must either remove litigation hold from the mailbox, or use the new
IgnoreLegalHold switch parameter when removing or disabling the mailbox. The IgnoreLegalHold
parameter has been added to the following cmdlets:






Disable-Mailbox
Remove-Mailbox
Disable-RemoteMailbox
Remove-RemoteMailbox
Disable-MailUser
Remove-MailUser
Multi-Tenant Support
Exchange 2010 SP1 introduced the ability to install in a hosting mode by using the /hosting switch when
running the installation script. However, in Exchange 2010 SP2, we no longer recommend installing
Exchange using the /hosting switch.
What's New in Exchange 2010 SP3
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj965775%28v=exchg.141%29.aspx
Exchange 2013 Coexistence support
You must install Exchange 2010 SP3 if you want to run Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 in a coexistence
mode. You can't perform an in-place upgrade from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013. However, you can
install an Exchange 2013 CU1 server in the existing Exchange 2010 organization after you install
Exchange 2010 SP 3. For more information about how to install an Exchange 2013 server in the existing
organization, see Install Exchange 2013 in an Existing Exchange 2010 Organization.
After you perform this procedure, your organization will be running in a coexistence mode. You can
maintain this mode indefinitely, or you can immediately complete the upgrade to Exchange 2013 by
moving all resources from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, and then decommissioning the Exchange
2010 servers. For more information about how to upgrade to Exchange 2013, see Upgrade from
Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013.
Sent Items Management feature
Exchange 2010 SP3 introduces the Sent Items Management feature to Office Outlook Web Access
(OWA). The Sent Items Management feature provides control over whether an item that is “sent as”
you, or “on behalf of” you, is copied to your Sent Items folder and to the sender’s Sent Items folder.
Before Exchange 2010 SP3, messages that are “sent as” you or “on behalf of” you are copied only to the
sender's Sent Items folder.
You can configure the Sent Items Management feature in OWA on the Options page. After Exchange
2010 SP3 is installed, the Sent Items Options settings will be available on the Options page in OWA.
Windows Server 2012
Exchange 2010 SP3 can be used together with Windows Server 2012.
