Microsoft's new Exchange Message Trace: What admins need to know before September by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced the general availability of the new Message Trace in the Exchange admin center (EAC) in Exchange Online for its worldwide (WW) customers. The Redmond giant said that it’ll begin rolling it out in mid-June and complete the rollout in July. Message Trace in the Exchange Admin Center for Exchange Online is a tool that lets admins trace which path emails took as they traveled through the Microsoft 365 organization. It lets admins see if emails were received, rejected, or deferred. It is helpful for troubleshooting mail flow issues and validating policy changes. To get started with the new Message Trace, admins can access it by going to the Exchange admin center > Mail flow > Message Trace. While the Windows-maker has received positive feedback during the Public Preview, you can still provide your thoughts through Exchange admin center > Give Feedback. In addition, Microsoft will continue to maintain the old Message Trace user experience in Exchange admin center and cmdlets for several months to ease the transition, however, they will be deprecated for WW customers starting from September 1. The Reporting Webservice support for Message Trace data will also begin deprecating on this date. A side note to mention here is that this timeline only applies to the WW environment and doesn’t affect GCC, GCC-High, DOD, or other sovereign clouds. More information about the switch over for those will be provided in the second half of the year. Who it affects, and how These changes need to be noted by Exchange Online administrators and IT professionals as those are the people who will be directly affected. Specifically, it will affect anyone managing mail flow and troubleshooting email delivery in Exchange Online. Those who are affected will have to get switched over to the new Message Trace before Microsoft starts deprecating features in several months time. Admins will want to act promptly to avoid any unforeseen issues that could arise. Another detail that admins should be aware of is that scripts that rely on the older “Get-MessageTrace” or “Get-MessageTraceDetail” cmdlets will break on September 1. To address this, admins will need to update their scripts to use the new “Get-MessageTraceV2” and the “Get-MessageTraceDetailV2” cmdlets. Finally, any admins out there using the Reporting Webservice for Message Trace data will also need to make a change. They will need to shift to the new Message Trace PowerShell cmdlets. Why it’s happening Microsoft has been working on a new Message Trace experience, incorporating feedback from the Public Preview phase, to improve its design and performance. The switch gives Microsoft the opportunity to standardize and modernize admin interfaces and the underlying technologies. What to watch for While September 1 may seem like a long way away, fixing any issues, such as scripts due to deprecations, could take some time. Any admins managing the affected items need to ensure they deal with affected components in a timely manner. In terms of documentation, Microsoft has so far only released the Public Preview document which highlights the changes between the old and new versions. Microsoft says that it will publish cmdlet documentation for the new Message Trace cmdlets by the time of the general availability, so admins should look out for that. -

You could have moved her to Apple. Would have been the same ending. For the basic stuff it's fine, I agree. -

iFixit explains why it is cutting the repairability score of the Nintendo Switch by half by David Uzondu With less than three days till the official release of the Nintendo Switch 2, iFixit just announced it is chopping the original Switch's repairability score clean in half, taking it from an 8 out of 10 all the way down to a 4. Now, the actual console from 2017 has not changed a bit, but iFixit says its way of looking at repair and what is even possible in handheld gaming has come a long way in eight years. The company figured that with the Switch 2 about to drop, people would want a proper way to compare the old with the new. Back when the Switch first came out, it was a weird one to score because it was part console, part handheld. iFixit now feels it has a better handle on things, and since Nintendo itself says most people play the Switch undocked, the device is getting judged harder as a portable machine. The iFixit Repairability Scoring Rubic So, what are the big complaints making iFixit take an axe to the score? Well, that glued-in battery is still incredibly difficult to remove, and the only way to charge the thing is through a port soldered right onto the main circuit board, which is always a recipe for repair nightmares. On top of that, Nintendo has never bothered to sell official replacement parts for the original Switch or even give out official repair guides. You cannot just ignore issues like that when you are talking about how easy something is to fix. Even finding one of the specific types of thermal goop you need for many fixes inside the console has been a pain. And while everyone knows about the Joy-Con drift, iFixit is clear its score does not hit for bad durability, but seeing so many busted joysticks has made how easy they are to fix a bigger deal in its scoring lately. This is not the first time iFixit has had to go back and change a score based on new information or a change in how it sees things, like in 2023 when it cut the iPhone 14's repairability score because Apple started using software to link almost every part to a specific phone, making independent repairs a massive pain even if the phone was physically easier to open. iFixit still gives Nintendo credit for the plug-and-play joysticks (even if they drift), storage you can replace and add to, and an inside layout that is mostly simple. But those good points just do not count for as much when you compare the Switch to what is out there now and how much easier other companies like ASUS with the ROG Ally and Lenovo with the Legion Go, are making repairs. iFixit is hoping Nintendo learned a few things for the Switch 2. Plus, there is a Right to Repair law in New York that kicked in for gadgets made after July 1, 2023. That law might just force Nintendo to sell parts and share repair info for the new console, at least for things like batteries and screens. If Nintendo starts selling parts and guides for the original Switch while people are still buying it, iFixit says it will happily look at the score again.

Question
d10p
Hey all,
Just like the title says, I am looking for an alternative to Notepad...for some reason, people seem to think that they are amazing, just because they code from Notepad :huh:.
I am looking for something that would possibly have syntax helping, also. Hopefully, the program isn't very bloat with features I won't really use. Also, free is good :yes:
Any ideas? Thanks in Advanced!
