Welcome to Servo's 10th edition of 'Lessons from the Front Line'.
Hello and welcome to the tenth edition of ‘Lessons from the front line'. This summer edition features advice on how to avoid those .PST nightmares, more reasons to migrate to Exchange 2003, and an overview of the new security features within Windows Mobile 5.0. We hope it proves interesting. If there are any topics you would like advice on, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help.

This month's features

The clock's ticking for Exchange 5.5 and Exchange 2003 is getting hot with Windows Mobile 5.0
The bad news: If you're still on Exchange 5.5, by Christmas, this product won't be supported and you'll be running your corporate messaging on a completely unsupported platform. A risk? Yes! Have you mitigated the risk?
The good news: Exchange 2003 is here, stable and widely used by all sizes of organisation
Even better news: Exchange 2003 Service Pack 2 is coming soon….

Infiltration of the iPod – a must see movie or something more than an average day in the office?
Imagine a well informed user waltzing onto your network listening to their favourite tracks (legally downloaded the night before and not from your network of course!!) on their iPod and then going home at night with the contents of their network drive snugly copied and stolen from your network…? Too much to handle then you should consider the SecureWave Sanctuary Control product to protect you from this situation.
