This article is based on the Exchange Server 2013 Preview release and is subject to change when Exchange 2013 reaches RTM.
With the release of the Exchange Server 2013 Preview a lot of people in the Exchange community are talking about the big changes to the management tools.
In this video I take a quick look at the new web-based Exchange Admin Center, that is replacing the old MMC-based Exchange Management Console.
About Paul Cunningham
Hi Paul,
Really Nice. You are my Hero.
interesting! atleast its will be quicker than MMC!!
i noticed that it said office 365 in the top corner.. is that because MS are forcing you down the Hybrid route?
i also see they have shelved the Hub transport role, is there still Transport Rules available?
We’re not being forced down the hybrid route, they’re just making management of hybrid scenarios easier.
Transport Rules are still available. They’re in the Mail Flow section under “Rules”.
Cheers Paul!
hi,
what’s the benefit for Microsoft while removing Exchange management console…?
Not sure I understand the question.
It makes sense to detach the Exchange management tools from a component like MMC, especially given some of the issues that have been caused with the Exchange management tools when other windows components were updated (the IE bug for example).
Hi Paul,
2 quick questions, 1 related to this video! You may want to move this question away from this topic?
1. What do you feel that the main drivers will be for customers/users to move from their 2007/2013 platforms? apart from general Microsoft support. What, in your opinion, will be the key selling points to 2013.
2. What software do you use to produce your videos?
Keep up the good work, appreciated here in the UK.
Regards,
David

1) 2013 (and 2010 for that matter) have much better HA/SR capabilities than 2007 or earlier, and can save money due to the lower storage costs while also providing benefits such as large mailboxes. There are also a long list of improvements and new features such as DLP, builtin anti-malware, FAST search, deeper integration with products such as Lync and Sharepoint, and more. Microsoft publishes a lot of “whats new” material but some of the technical meat will emerge only as more and more customers deploy it and talk about it.
2) I use Camtasia from Techsmith.
