Microsoft Exchange 2010 is a great and scalable messaging solution for small, medium and enterprise organizations but with all its wonderful advantages it lacks one thing almost every system and messaging administrator needs, a complete and comfortable management tool.
Most system administrators were used to manage their messaging environments using a single management platform which was and still is the Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) MMC (Microsoft Management Console) Snap-In.
Previous Exchange Server versions extended this Snap-In to include some Exchange management features; the current Microsoft Exchange 2010 installation does not extend the built-in ADUC Snap-In.
Currently the only ‘Out-of-the-Box’ available tools to manage Exchange Server 2010 are the Microsoft Exchange Management Console and the Microsoft Exchange PowerShell cmdlets. While both tools are very powerful and capable they lack the familiarity administrators were acquainted with in previous Exchange Server versions.
U-BTech’s Exchange Tasks 2010 does exactly what the Microsoft Exchange 2010 Installation does not – Extends the ADUC Snap-In to include all the great management tools and screens we’ve all gotten used to over the years. It's installation is quite simple and absolutely does not affect the Active Directory schema.
