Following on from my last post<\/a> about the overlaps between FIM and Exchange 2010 I wanted to clarify for myself the group management capabilities in FIM, Exchange 2010 and ILM.<\/p>\n

Warning: I will have to revisit this post – as I haven’t yet installed Exchange 2010 in a production environment the Exchange comments are based on reading rather than hands-on experience, and in particular I’m unsure about the management of email-enabled Security groups.
