2. Can I simply upgrade an Exchange 2007 organization to 2010 by upgrading my server in-place?
Unfortunately, no. You will need to install an Exchange 2010 server into your Exchange 2007 organization first and then move things over.

Bye bye blogroll Tue, Aug 31st 2010 8:40p Ed Brill It's been a long time since I thought about my blogroll or, for that matter, really paid attention to anyone else's. I find blogs today through PlanetLotus (and there are a number of new ones found there), Google alerts, Twitter and Facebook links, and our internal implementation of Lotus Connections. So, rather than inadvertently offend someone not included, or consider whether the links there are still relevant, I've blown it away. I put it on a hidden page for now, and suppose I can resurf [read] Keywords: connections lotus blogging facebook google planetlotus planetlotus.org twitter

Need your help - updated Notes/Domino virtualization survey Mon, Aug 30th 2010 10:30a Ed Brill It's been about a year since the last time we did this, and this time, we want to know about both client- and server-side virtualization technologies. This area is moving fast and not a week goes by without a request for us to support some new virtualization technology. VMWare and Citrix remain the most frequently-asked, but there are now half dozen others mentioned regularly. The survey will only take about ten minutes to fill out; you need an IBM.com ID in order to do so. Sample question [read] Keywords: domino ibm lotus notes notesdomino citrix server virtualization vmware

Update on Lotus Notes Traveler for Android Fri, Aug 27th 2010 9:37a Ed Brill Now that Notes/Domino 8.5.2 is out, a few questions have trickled in about the status of the Notes Traveler client for Android. To refresh, we announced at Lotusphere that we would build our own Notes Traveler client for the Android 2.x OS -- supporting mail, calendar, contacts. We knew that the Android OS would evolve to have some of these capabilities in the base OS, but enterprise calendaring and other features just aren't there; plus, different devices using Android use different sets o [read] Keywords: calendaring domino ibm lotus lotusphere notes traveler enterprise password security server

Chicago Tribune: Trib Nation small business community conversation Thu, Aug 26th 2010 10:11a Ed Brill Earlier this week, I was fortunate enough to be invited to a roundtable luncheon at the Chicago Tribune. The topic was small business in Chicago, and while IBM itself is anything but small, we do routinely work with small businesses. I know, the market perception is otherwise, but across IBM, the Express Advantage offerings -- hardware, software, services -- are all designed for companies with less than 1000 employees, and our own tools like Lotus Foundations or LotusLive scale down to single [read] Keywords: foundations ibm lotus community linkedin networking openntf planetlotus planetlotus.org twitter

Score one for the Lotus blogging community; ibm.com has been updated Sat, Aug 21st 2010 11:10p Ed Brill Back before my vacation, a few bloggers were talking about the abrasive, mixed message that IBM was sending to the market by having a web page from ibm.com Global Technology Services describing their Notes to Exchange migration offering. My stance at the time was that IBM, as a portfolio business that is dedicated to every client's success, should be the best possible systems integrator for Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco, or whomever else in our GTS business, even while we are competing with those co [read] Keywords: ibm lotus notes blogging community exchange exchange microsoft oracle
