Using Exchange Transport Rules to Prevent Recipients from Replying to or Forwarding a Message

In Exchange 2007 and 2010, we can use Message Classification and transport rules to control the flow of mail. In a specific scenario, this can be utilised to restrict replies and forwards of confidential messages. Consider the following scenario:

  • Exchange 2007 environment
  • 000s of Outlook 2007, OWA, Blackberry, iPhone users
  • Requirement: Users need to be able to prevent recipients from replying to or forwarding of their email messages. In other words, when User A sends a message to User B, User B has to be prevented from using the email system to further disseminate the message. Consider different methods that User B could use:
  1. Hit Reply, Reply All or Forward buttons.
  2. Use manual methods: copy and paste, print, retype the message Continue reading Using Exchange Transport Rules to Prevent Recipients from Replying to or Forwarding a Message

Career Factor: Microsoft Certified Master - Week 3

The next post in the series covering the Microsoft Certified Master – Week 3 of the course. Last week of the course and the focus shifts from content to preparation for last exam and final qualifying lab.

Career Factor: Microsoft Certified Master - Week 2

Microsoft Certified Master – Week 2 is not quite ‘chalk and cheese’ when compared to Week 1, but I’m certainly feeling far more positive. We settled into a routine, albeit one of grueling 15-hours-of-study-a-day one, but the results (for me) are better than last week. Plus, the end is nigh.

Career Factor: Time to Dust Off and Move On

The first week proved just a tad too much. There is an exam after each week and I failed the first one. By just over 4% (60% is the pass). A very short post on it (due to time pressures): Time to Dust Off and Move On.

Career Factor: Microsoft Certified Master in Figures - Week 1

First week of Microsoft Certified Master is finished. Expectations easily matched and surpassed. Some interesting figures about the course.

Career Factor: Mastering the Aspirations

My first post on Career Factor - Mastering the Aspirations – before I am about to embark on the Microsoft Certified Master course.

Swap WAIT for Career Factor

As I mentioned in the previous post, I’ll be updating my Career Factor blog over the next few months. I will, however, post links here for easier reference in the future.

Career Factor and MCM

It’s been a few weeks since the last post, regarding my application to participate on Microsoft Career Factor.  This is pretty much due to the fact that I got accepted, which in turn forced a change of plans and brought a few new tasks to the table. However, it also promises to be a very exciting few months ahead. Continue reading Career Factor and MCM

Career Factor Application

I wrote about Microsoft Career Factor in the previous post.  It took me while, but I managed to submit my application for the Aspiring Microsoft Certified Master story arc. The preparation took five days of procrastination, three days of coming up with what to say, one day of socialising it to obtain comments from friends and colleagues and four hours to record, edit, render and upload the video.  I have a feeling I should have allocated the time backwards.

Microsoft Career Factor Reality Show

Microsoft Certified Master Program is pricey. Apart from the $18,500 course fee, there is also the three weeks of accommodation, food & drink, as well as the return tickets from London to Seattle. Best guestimate – $25,000, assuming all goes as planned and there are no surprise costs. Of course, that doesn’t even include the loss of income that a contractor like me has to account for. Hefty! But, apparently, there is a slim chance that majority of it can be gotten for free. (suspend disbelief and read on, it gets better) . . . → Read More: Microsoft Career Factor Reality Show
