When creating a new website the GlobalDNSRecord configuration defines the
hostheaders/websitepointer to be created
Various forms updated where the hostname field is set to www
GlobalDNSRecord allows empty recordData field
To create related dns records when creating a hostheader/website pointer with
the specification of a hostname a 'A' or 'CNAME' globalDNSRecord definition
of '[host_name]' is required to create the the dns record.
This change addresses a couple of situations:
a) where sites had to be created with a freely chosen hostnames, which was
not possible
b) we needed a single repository with that would accommodated websites but
also sharepoint and tenant specific OWA sites, which was not possible
c) The concept of Domain Pointers was ok but appeared hard to understand
for the end users and added some complexity/additional steps when adding a new
site
The domain pointer approach is updated :
A) decoupled the “sites” from domain
B) Created a new “Domains” Domain Pointer record for each new site created,
to keep on track of the various sites created through the platform
C) Upon removal of the site the Pointer gets removed as well
D) For websites a freely chosen hostname can be taken, similar to
sharepoint (which is or generated or chosen by the tenant)
E) Removed the pointer displaying/listing from the UI, and show only the
top-level and subdomains.
This changeset contains fixed on the verification if a website or hostheade
(domain pointer) already exists
Fix on if no server component dns record (globaldnsrecord) is defined.
In order to use user selectable hostnames icw dns provisioning use the variable
[host_name] as hostname in the dns definitions. The variable will be replaced
Could not add contacts to a distribution lists
Create mailbox: room and equipment showed as numbers
Create Hosting Space: alignment of the hostname textbox
Webpointers: blank hostname did not register as dns alias
Webpublishing: generation of user name, username was not showing domain part
BackupWizard: ensured progress bar is at 100% when task is completed
Change mailbox plan did not update the size indicator
setup instruction tab is shown when there is no setup template
Creation of websites and pointers decoupled from Domains in order to choose
freely the hostname of a website or pointer.
Quota enforcement around domain pointers disabled, though registration is
still in place
quotas were only displayed for the tenant. Quota usage now displayed per
organization
Added public folders to organization home screen
Added Lync to organization home screen
Added the ability to hide the theme and locale. This can be hidden by adding
the element <HideThemeAndLocale>true</HideThemeAndLocale> to the file
SiteSettings.config
Contact with e-mail address a@b.cz exists in tenant X.
User with e-mail address a@b.cz exists in tenant Y.
Tenant Y wants to create new distribution list and set a@b.cz as a manager of
this DL. Error appears when clicking on Create New distribution list button.

Server:
Added IPv6 support for all DNS Providers, but only tested ISC BIND & MS DNS
Enterprise Server:
Added support for IPv6. Hyper-V not tested, and probably doesn't work.
When using IPv6 with Hyper-V it assigns "/CIDR" to the subnet mask, and I don't
know if this is the correct implementation.
Portal:
Modified all IP input masks to accept and validate IPv6.
IP Ranges support IP/CIDR format.
define global plans. The plans will accumulate through out the tree.
Various UI optimizations
Before defining global plans ensure you create a hosted organization for each
reseller. Spaces -> Hosted Organization -> New Organization
get registered within ExchangeAccounts. Server Component updated to ensure
either netbios domain or "samaccountname" is returned. ES Server Component
updated to ensure it's stored within the database.
Automated provisioning of plans added when template plans are defined
Lync plan maintenance added
Ability to disable editing of lync plans within hosting plans
People picker adjusted for public folders, contact, and distribution liost
content on a remote (highly available) filesystem and enabled the scenario
of webfarm with a shared IIS configuration as well.
The netbios domain name will need to be set in the configuration of the provider.
and off course "Create Active Directory accounts" checked as well
mailboxes that have no mailbox plan assigned yet.
The following SQL statement will 'upgrade' the user data to work with the new
exchange 2010 SP2 provider. Ensure you replace the variables with values that
matches your environment.
DECLARE @NetBIOSDomain nvarchar(20)
DECLARE @ExchangeOrgRoot nvarchar(256)
SET @NetBIOSDomain = 'MYDOMAIN'
SET @ExchangeOrgRoot = 'CN=First Organization,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,
CN=Configuration,DC=mydomain,DC=local'
UPDATE ExchangeAccounts SET SamAccountName = @NetBIOSDomain+'\'+AccountName
WHERE AccountID IN (SELECT AccountID FROM ExchangeAccounts
WHERE AccountType IN (3,7) AND SamAccountName = '')
INSERT INTO ServiceItemProperties (ItemID, PropertyName, PropertyValue)
(SELECT SP.ItemID, 'AddressBookPolicy',
PV = 'CN='+SP.PropertyValue+' Address Policy,CN=AddressBook Mailbox Policies,'

Available roles now in the platform: Administrator, Reseller, User, PlatformCSR,
PlatformHelpdesk, ResellerCSR, ResellerHelpdesk.
The platform CSR and Helpdesk are peer accounts on platform root level.
The names can be used within the websitepanel_pages.config on Page and Module
level. On module level the roles can be specified on the viewRoles attribute and
readOnlyRoles attribute. When specifying the later all controls will be disabled
within the Modile, the viewRoles just show the page or not. When nothing
specified the page is just shown
