Hosted Exchange Control Panel

Using Hosted Exchange doesn't mean you lose control of  your email environment.  You have access to the Exchange Control Panel which serves as an Administration Portal for you to control your Hosted Exchange setup.

• Change passwords without assistance
• Create new mailboxes
• Modify existing mailboxes (change display name, check mailbox usage)
• Add email addresses or aliases
• Setup MailTips* with specific rules for your company
• Check on ActiveSync status for devices - "Allow", "Block" or "Wipe"
• Create distribution groups
• Create external contacts
• Delegate permission to users to create their own distribution groups and perform tracing
• Check on who has accessed mailboxes (and when) for your own auditing

Users of Dedicated Hosted Exchange have access to the Exchange Control Panel as well as access to the server itself and to PowerShell to automate tasks.

*MailTips

MailTips in Exchange Server 2010 is new a feature to help your users.

When you enter an email address or distribution list, MailTips will give you information before you click "Send".  Find out straight away if the recipient is on holiday or invalid and if your attachments exceed your company's limit.

MailTips can also alert you before you "Reply All" to an email you received via BCC and will give you the exact number of recipients in a distribution list before you send to prevent any embarrassing email mistakes.
