A license giveaway we organized for MSExchange.org users has just ended and the winners have been announced! 10 people have won CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro – a tool that boosts the standard mechanism of email rules on Exchange 2010/2007 (and adds a lot of other stuff to it). The 10th selected person, apart from the program, won iPad2! See the video to discover who was so lucky today. We recommend watching it in HQ and full screen to see the names :)
Yesterday we released our next freeware for Exchange Server users. It’s called CodeTwo Active Directory Photos and, as the name suggests, it allows you to manage photographs in Active Directory. What makes it so great is that you can upload and manage even thousands of Active Directory users’ pictures very quickly and easily. Uploaded pictures can later be displayed in Outlook 2010 internal emails, in GALs or contact cards. You can also add them to server-sided email signatures appended to internal or outbound correspondence. And it’s really free. Learn more about CodeTwo Active Directory Photos.
We created this program because many of you have sent us tech support questions concerning employees’ pictures in email signatures. Since it is possible to add images to Active Directory (one image per user), it is also possible to automatically insert them to Exchange email signatures when messages fly through Exchange. If you combine CodeTwo Active Directory Photos and CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro, you will be able to do that by adding just one placeholder to your template – a {Photo} placeholder. Learn more about adding Active Directory pictures to server-sided email signatures.
We’re happy to share CodeTwo Active Directory Photos with you – it’s absolutely free and there are no time limitations. To install the program, download it from this link and install it either on a server machine equipped with Exchange Server or on a client PC with Admin’s rights.
Our flagship Exchange tool, CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro, has just been reviewed by Paul Cunningham from ExchangeServerPro.com. It’s another great review of this product and we are happy to share it with you.
Paul Cunningham has noticed the program has so many features that it can be used in numerous organizations all over the world solving various issues from email signature management to content filtering to automatic email flow control (Exchange autoresponding, rerouting, etc.).
“CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro solves a lot of common business problems, and adds several enhancements and ease of administration to the standard Transport Rules capabilities of Exchange Server 2007/2010″. Ohhh yeah! That’s right!
It’s been raining cats and dogs for two days now and a lot of people in our town have stuck in a rut and they start to look like they won’t snap out of it.
Now you can run the licensing module from within the main application window.
The program can now correctly sync a read/unread state of messages.

Notifications in Windows XP tray area are now displayed properly.

To update the program, just install it on top of the existing installation, and it will be patched automatically.

Dear CodeTwo Exchange Rules users. We have just updated CodeTwo Exchange Rules 2003 to version 3.2. These are the fixes for the most common issues you have been reporting for the past few months. We did our best to meet your requirements and we do hope you will be satisfied with this release. It’s a major update since we’ve fixed 9 bugs in the application. Take a look at the list of the fixes below:
Delivery reports were not delivered for internal messages.
AD contacts were treated by the application as internal users.
In certain cases the application added the signature to encrypted messages.
In very complicated Exchange environments the application did not deliver messages to distribution groups.
When sending a message to the distribution group plus one of its members, the message could be delivered duplicated.
Messages might not be delivered to members of distribution groups if forwarding was configured between the members of these groups.
If non-standard AD attributes were used in the signature (extended AD scheme) the internal users might be treated as external.
When testing scenarios in the built-in rule tester based on membership to AD groups, the application returned an error.
Statistics files after changing the settings to non-default were reset.
In order to update CodeTwo Exchange Rules 2003 to version 3.2, simply download the program and install it on top of the existing version. The previous version will be automatically detected and patched. The update is dedicated for users of 3.x and is free of charge. Detailed information on the update procedure can be found here.
Please note! Server reboot will be required after the installation has been finished.
