Objectives
Introduction to Exchange 2019
Comparing Exchange 2019 with Exchange 2016
- Security
- Performance
- Clients
- Messaging policies and compliance improvements
- In-place Archiving, retention, and eDiscovery improvements
- Search performance has been improved as it allows for the indexing of large files. The search infrastructure has been improved overall. The ability for cloud-scale as search has been rebuilt.
- Because of changes to the search architecture, they say that there are more stable failovers between servers.
- Metacache database – We will cover this in more detail later on in the chapter.
- Hardware – Exchange can now scale to 256GB of RAM and up to 48 CPU cores. This is a major improvement from Exchange 2016. Imagine how powerful and fast this machine will be, especially if it runs on Windows Server 2019 Core.
- Last but not least, there is a new feature called dynamic database cache.
- The new option for calendaring – "Do Not Forward" allows you to enable this option where attendees cannot forward the meeting invites to anyone else; only the organizer can forward meeting invites.
- Out of office improvements – Additional features/options have been made available, such as adding an event to your calendar to show you as away and the ability to decline meetings that take place when you are away.
