Exchange, Lync, Office & SharePoint 2013 RTM’d

by Rajith Jose Enchiparambil on October 11, 2012

The wait is over!

It is good news for all admins in the IT field as Microsoft has RTM’d Exchange 2013, Lync 2013, Office 2013 & SharePoint 2013.

General availability is for the first quarter of 2013, but volume license customers, TechNet & MSDN subscribers will be able to download the bits from mid Nov 2012. Just a month’s wait

As we don’t have any news about Exchange 2010 SP3, having the RTM’d Exchange 2013 bits will only be useful for greenfield sites. But, as admins we get to play with the software well in advance it goes into the production network.

Cannot Open Microsoft System Attendant Mailbox Error During Exchange 2013 Mailbox Move

A local mailbox move in Exchange 2013 fails with the error that the System Attendant Mailbox cannot be opened. I thought System Attendant was a thing of the past! Exchange 2013 doesn’t have system attendant mailbox or even the System Attendant service (mad.exe). But, the error clearly mentions about the failure to open the [...]

How To Find Which Store Worker Process Is Responsible For A Mailbox Database In Exchange 2013

Exchange 2013 has a new store named the Managed Store.
