Messaging Record Management (MRM) helps us to keep the messages that are need to comply with company policy, government regulation or legal needs and to remove those messages which are not required by the organization as per their policies.

In my previous Blog http://exchangeserverinfo.com/2008/05/21/windows-server-2008-core-server.aspx
I mentioned about not so attractive features of Windows Server 2008 Core Server . Definitely over thick line those comments are realistic however I always had this in mind that there must be something behind this concept of core server. Microsoft will not brand something without any real cause.
The biggest advantage I see about Core Server is the scenarios in which we can install core server.
Here is one I have in my mind.
Scenario :
I am Admin in XYZ company and they have a branch office at a distant location. As company doesn't want to invest a lot on IT infrastructure for remote office and expects to me to manage the servers for that location. They want me ...<< MORE >>
The Outlook profile file (PRF file) allows you to create MAPI profiles for Outlook users. The PRF file is a text file with syntax that Outlook uses to generate a profile. Using a PRF file, you can create new profiles for users or modify existing profiles.
I had an assignment which required me to write a script that calls a PRF file. The PRF file creates a new Outlook profile for each of the users. The script will run in the logon services so it needs some basic logic to ensure that it is executed only once.
Here are a couple of samples that we have got ( they may need modification to suit your enviornment)

Most of the times if we have deleted any email from outlook ( Specifically hard deleted), we are forced to believe that it cannot be recovered without restoring from backup, which is not completely true.
We can recover any email deleted/ Archived from the Mailbox if it has not passed the deleted item retention period ( which is by default 7 days)
A few tips that I follow
1. Any Item deleted from the Mailbox either a soft delete or hard delete goes in the dumpster which can be recovered unless the online maintenance has not cleared those emails ( in default case if the mails were deleted on 31st Oct. they will not be actually gone from the database till 7th Nov)

Now the industry has changed, with the introduction Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 it seems to me that monopoly of blackberry is over.
