To manage Exchange 2007, you can use the Exchange Management Console, or the Exchange Management Shell. A lot of people fear the command-line-like shell, but you do need the shell, since not everything can be configured using the Exchange Management Console. In this post I just want to give you a short list of things you can only configure using the power of the Exchange Management Shell (or, I should add, for which I haven't found a way to do so using the Exchange Management Console...)

•  Define static Domain Controllers and/or Global Catalogs for Exchange
•  Per user OWA segmentation: please check my article here for more information Server-Wide/Per user Segmentation
• Prevent users from connecting using Outlook Non Cached Mode

• Disable Subject Logging and Display in Message Tracking

• Increase the maximum number of threads so more than 4 mailboxes can be moved at the same time
•  Change system messages

•  Clean-mailboxdatabase

For more information, check out my following article: http://www.proexchange.be/blogs/exchange2007/archive/2009/05/20/strange-behavior-with-connect-mailbox.aspx

• Create/Manage Global Address Lists
• Create a new mailbox based on template users

• Change the tarpit-interval voor receive connector

• Disable transport agent

 There are more...this is just a list
