We had a request recently to Disable SSL 2.0 on a Customers Server for Security Reasons as it is flagged as an issue when they were doing there internal Pen testing.
You can do this simply by setting the below registry key.
Key: HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSecurityProvidersSCHANNELProtocolsSSL 2.0Server
Value: DisabledByDefault
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0×1
Once set reboot the server and SSL 2.0 will be disabled 
We had a customer recently requesting that we block users from downloading attachments in OWA but allow them to view attachment when choosing the open in new windows option. They had published there OWA via UAG and had a single application in a UAG trunk that published there OWA.
To do this the first thing you need to do is edit the trunk that you Exchange OWA application Sits in.
Hit Configure on your trunk and then go to the Global URL Settings and Press Configure on Download URLS.
Now we need to remove “.*/WebReadyView.aspx.*” but I’ve just renamed it to “.*/DeleteMEWebReadyView.aspx” essentially removing it. The reason we are doing this is that all URL’s under the Download URL’s will hit the UAG Download Policy, but as we want to allow users to open attachments in new window , we need to make UAG treat it as a normal URL so that it doesn’t get blocked by download policy. (“.*/WebReadyView.aspx = Open in New Window Page)
Now we need to actually set what download policy is set for OWA so now if you open the Exchange Application in the Exchange Trunk and go to the Endpoint Policy Setting Tab. I have set the Download Policy Option to Never which will block downloads for any device connection to OWA (Please Note this Only Effects the individual application and has no effect on the others)
Once I did this and applied the setting , the OWA attachment was still downloading. So I went back into the Exchange 2010 application and noticed the following setting was checked “Evaluate without Enforcement” , so basically what was happening is that UAG knew the downloads from the OWA URLs should have been blocked but due to this setting it didn’t enforce the Download Policy and allowed the attachment to be downloaded. As soon as I unchecked this option the download of the attachment started getting blocked

Hi Guys just to let you know a Microsoft Lync 2010 app has been released for the iPhone 
Please see “http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-lync-2010-for-iphone/id484293461?mt=8” for more information.
We came across an issue recently , where VPN via PPTP all of a sudden stopped working after a reboot to the ISA Server.
Whenever we tried to VPN in we were getting error “800” messages on our client machines and if we did logging on the ISA we could see that our VPN attempts were just failing to connect and not actually getting denied by any rule.
We had a look in routing and remote access on the ISA server and checked what ports were open and we could see no PPTP ports showing at all which we would expect to see.
Also when we look at the RASMAN log (C:WindowsTracing) we could see quite a lot of errors relating failure to opening the VPN port.

To resolve this issue we did the following on the ISA Server
Once the above was done and the server was rebooted the VPN kicked back into life and PPTP VPN ports displayed in Routing and Remote Access 
We had an issue recently when running an upgrade to exchange 2010 SP2 where the Pre-Requisite checker would fail on the Hub Transport role with the following error “Setup cannot continue with the upgrade because the ‘cscript’ () process (ID:7284) has open files. Close the process and restart Setup”.
The issue turned out being due to SCOM agent we had installed on the server , so we simply stopped the system centre management service on the machine and re-ran the checker then all went through ok 
We had an issue recently when trying to upgrade Exchange SP1 to SP2 , while running through the Pre-Reqs we failed on the Unified Message role due to having more than the en-us language pack present.
You can find what additional UM language Packs you have installed via running the following in the Exchange Management Shell.
Get-UmServer | fl name,languages
You can then uninstall the management pack by running the following command (Our example is en-GB)
setup.com /removeumlanguagepack:en-GB
After this you should pass that part of the Pre-Requisite check 
A customer has requested recently that they want to be able to RDP to Direct Access Machines. You Can do this by doing the following.
Finally run a GPupdate on the DA machine and you should then be able to RDP onto the DA machine 
(Please note you must have ISATAP configured and Remote via IPV6 Address)
Just to let you know Exchange 2010 SP2 has been released
