Passed the Exchange 2010 exam today…

What a great day for me….I passed the 70-662 TS: Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, Configuring! After two hours I pressed the END button, and finished with a score of 907/1000.

The last few mounths Exchange 2010 was my daily thing! Building…..building…..building and again building, this was the best preparing for me! A lot of things I’ve seen in Berlin at the TechEd, so I was ready to rock! ;)

How to: Exchange 2010 e-mail signature based on Active Directory information

A cool new feature in Exchange 2010 is to add a signature to your e-mail based on Active Directory information. So if you fill in the correct information in the Active Directory, the signature will be automatically added to your e-mail. You need to follow these steps:

1.) Open the Exchange Management Console
2.) Navigate to Organization Configuration, Hub Transport, Transport Rules
3.) Create a new transport rule
4.) Design the signature based on the Active Directory information, in my example it is:
Met vriendelijke groet,<br><br>
%%displayName%%<br>
%%Department%%
(Note: you can find all the user attributes using ADSIEDIT for example).
5.) Send a e-mail to another user and check the e-mailsignature
