The most important innovations of Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 Standard in detail

With Exchange Server 2019 Standard Edition, even smaller companies benefit from the improved existing as well as new features and services, which are especially designed to shift the focus more from communication to collaboration among employees. This includes the provision of Exchange Server services in the cloud as well as the enhanced functionality for administrators, with which Exchange Server 2019 makes a significant contribution to reducing the total cost of ownership - for example, with the following features:

Improved Exchange Server Performance

Exchange Server 2019 showcases a revamped search infrastructure, including in Exchange Online for cloud scaling, thereby enabling indexing of larger files - with better search performance as well as easier management. Failovers between servers thus lead to significantly faster as well as more reliable results when changes are made to the search architecture. With support for up to 256 GB of memory and 48 CPU cores, this version of Exchange offers impressive hardware support - with dynamic memory cache allocation further optimizing memory utilization for active database use in the information storage process. Various additions also apply to the specific components:

• Dynamic Database Cache (DDC) allows dynamic adjustment of memory capacity depending on the situation and also increases the speed of the Exchange Server, thus making better use of it when the number of active databases changes.
• Meta Cache Database (MCDB) can be used to run a physical server with SSD drives. Among other things, MCDB saves meta information such as folder structures of mailboxes to speed up access as well as search. Administrators can make room for more users in a server instance with the automation script, which also helps reduce costs.
• The new search index in Exchange Server 2019 is no longer separate from the database of a mailbox, but is now located directly there, which not only increases search speed, but also simplifies mailbox management.
• Via OneDrive for Business , data etc.can be stored and shared for common use.

New Client Access Rules

With the new Client Access Rules, Exchange Server 2019 Standard offers administrators further options for individually restricting access to the configuration area of the servers - this applies to the Admin Center itself as well as to PowerShell, which is used to configure, manage and automate systems. The client access rules can be used to control and, if necessary, block connections to the Exchange Server depending on IP address, authentication type or user properties, not only on a country-by-country basis but also on a region-by-region basis, without the need for a firewall. PowerShell can also be used to define time periods.

Windows Server Core for Exchange Server 2019 Standard

With Windows Server Core for Exchange Server 2019 version, administrators can now run a simplified version of the server system. Windows Server Core makes configuration particularly easy thanks to its simpler, clearer design - in addition, services that are not needed but consume resources can be disabled. Windows Server Core also has fewer points of attack for intruders and reduces the risk of errors, which means that this mode also offers greater security.

New calendar enhancements

Exchange Server 2019 Standard has many new handy features for the calendar, which mainly facilitate the organization of meetings:

• The Default End Date feature specifically limits the organization of regularly scheduled meetings to a reasonable number.
• The Do Not Forward feature allows an organizer to limit or prevent participants invited to a meeting from forwarding that message to other recipients.
• Out-of-office messages can be configured with additional options, for example: one's calendar can be blocked for a certain period of time; all meeting requests sent in a defined period of time can be automatically rejected.
• Using the Remove-CalendarEvents cmdlet, an administrator can specifically cancel those meetings that were organized by an employee who is either on vacation or has already left the company.
• Via PowerShell, an administrator can give other employees permission to deputize.
• The internationalization of email addresses (EAI) allows even those email addresses that contain non-English characters to be forwarded.
