Evil Microsoft

I have been taken by the Billgatus of Borg. I have been assimilated. Well, sort of. My email is now going through an Exchange server. So all of my email will probably say “Sent by Exchange” in the headers somewhere. I have done this, because ElectroNerdz has recently aquired several more servers, and one of them is an Exchange server (whom hosts other customers of ours). However, I am still using the power of the penguin via the Evolution client. In fact, the Exchange support in Evolution is great. It supports more than the actual Outlook client does. For instance, I can ACTUALLY change my Exchange password through Evolution. You can not do this via Outlook. You would normally do it through your domain controller, but when you Exchange server and your domain controller (if one is even present) are not the same, then you are just out of luck I guess. It also supports things like Out of Office and Permissions on folders. And unlike Outlook, you can have several Exchange servers opened at once. I will also now have my Contacts and Calendar automatically sync through my phone.

  1. My exchange client supports out of office and multiple connections.

    Now that I am part system administrator for WestCare having some restrictions is nice… we don't let the users in our network change their passwords as they please ;-)
