Enhancements to bv-Control for Microsoft Exchange v7.0 offer a revolutionary level of automation, helping organizations of all sizes more easily and cost effectively secure their Exchange environments and manage their messaging platforms. With the addition of bv-Admin for Microsoft Exchange Migration, IT managers and Exchange administrators now have the power to control, secure and execute efficient migrations from the Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 to Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, across sites, servers, containers, and organizations.

"Effectively managing Microsoft Exchange servers and environments requires tools that are able to automate tasks, minimize any disruptions associated with platform migrations and help IT administrators enforce messaging security policies," said David Ferris, research director of Ferris Research. "BindView's enhanced bv-Control product for Microsoft Exchange and its new bv-Admin product specifically designed for Microsoft Exchange Migration offer these features and can help organizations better and more cost effectively manage and maintain their Exchange environments."

This feature enables administrators to synchronize public folders, the directory structure, distribution lists, mailboxes and security permissions.

This feature provides comprehensive and individual project status and history throughout the migration and the ability to perform trial and real-time migrations, rollbacks, scheduling and synchronization.
