Outlook 2010: CRM + Mobile Device Center + SharePoint

Last week I downloaded Office 2010 Beta 2 in both 64bit and 32bit flavours to play with and test with the differing services/applications I use.

Good news:

• If upgrade my Office 2007 install the CRM Outlook client works.
• The major niggles with SharePoint seem to have gone.
• The 32bit version works with Mobile Device Center.
• Outlook 2010 works well with my Hosted Exchange provider (Cobweb)

Not so good news:

• 64bit does not work with Mobile Device Center. :(
• 64bit does not work with CRM Outlook client. :(

There are loads of people writing about this stuff, so I’ll leave it at that.

MS 071-663 PRO: Design & Deploy Messaging Solutions with MS Exchange Server 2010

The 071-663 PRO: Design & Deploy Messaging Solutions with MS Exchange Server 2010 certification became available today in beta and can be taken from 1st December 2009 for a few weeks. I’ve decided to book myself in for 08:45 on 1st December. :o)

The PRO exam should be quite a step up from TS, which I completed in about 25 minutes although I hope I’m not in there for the full 4 hour duration allocated.

I shall be taking a deeper look in to cross forest/cloud options, migration and cross premise solutions to prepare along with other materials. If you have any suggestions for me please drop me a message.
