• Enhanced virtualization support. Lync Server can be virtualized in both small and enterprise topologies.
• The A/V Conferencing service functionality can run in a standalone server role, and can also be deployed as a load-balanced pool. It can even be virtualized.
• New management tools, including the Lync Server 2010 Management Shell, (a Windows PowerShell based managing tool) and the Lync Server 2010 Control panel (a web-based management tool).
• DNS Load balancing is supported for Front End pools, Edge Server pools, Mediation Server pools and Director pools.
• Central and Branch Site Resiliency. Enhanced client registration, discovery and routing provide Central Site Resiliency and Branch Office Resiliency that provide certain voice features with pool or server failures or outages.
• Call Admission Control (Badnwidth Management) has been added to prevent poor call quality.
• Mediation Server Bypass allows the flow of media to bypass the Mediation Server. This reduction of server workload allows the Mediation Server role to collocate with the Front End server.
• Emergency Dialing (E9-1-1). This feature provides calling party’s telephone and physical address the the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).
• The Call Park application makes it possible to put calls on hold and and then retrieve it later from any phone.
• Some new Conferencing features: the lobby provides a place for meeting attendees to wait until a meeting starts, DTMF commands during calls, recorded name announcement, simpler meeting URLs.
• Some new client features include: Activity Feeds lets you see “social updates”, photographs in contact lists, message waiting indicator for some devices, contact search, expanded contact cards, single unified contact store, enhanced access levels and privacy options.

Note:

Each DNS name that is listed must be unique. You must append ,0×1 to the end of each DNS name. If you do not append ,0×1 to the end of each DNS name, the changes made of  poll interval will not take effect.

Enterprise Edition is required for DAG functionality.

With the advancements in Exchange 2010 high availability, RAID is no longer a required component for Exchange 2010 storage design. However, RAID is still an essential piece to Exchange 2010 storage design for stand-alone servers as well as high availability solutions that require either additional performance or greater storage reliability.

When implementing RAID, use a dedicated array group; don’t host both system LUN and data LUNs on the same array group. The disk array RAID stripe size (KB) should be set to 256 KB or greater as per storage vendor best practices and the storage array cache settings should be set to 75% write cache and 25% read cache when utilizing battery backed cache.

环境：Windows Server 2008 R2

现象：输入只有单标签的域名时，提示无法找到AD DC，

原因及解决办法：

自Windows Vista起，加入到域时，必须输入域名的完整形式（FQDN），若只输入域名的单标签，该机器不会自动添加DNS后缀。输入域名的FQDN，问题得以解决。
