Microsoft Exchange 2010 SP1 Hosting Switch Support

"/hosting" Switch in "Hosting Mode
Exchange Server 2010 SP1 is the first multi-tenant ready Exchange Server version that enables hosting service providers to create and manage multiple organizations in the same Active Directory forest. Recent release 8.12 of HC control panel offers comprehensive support for Microsoft Exchange 2010 SP1 Hosting Switch in a shared multi-tenant environment that includes automatic provisioning of new accounts. The solution comes with a comprehensive self-serve portal for end customers. Since Exchange 2010 SP1 in hosting mode doesn't allow the usage of the Exchange Management Console (EMC), therefore HC control panel becomes the natural choice of hosted service providers to provision organizations and mailboxes in Exchange 2010 using a special "/hosting" switch in "Hosting Mode.
KB article on "How to Configure Exchange 2010 SP1 "/hosting" switch in Hosting Mode with HC Panel:

Hosted Exchange with SharePoint, Dynamics CRM 4.0 & OCS 2007

Shared Active Directory
Users for Exchange, SharePoint, MS Dynamics CRM 4.0, and OCS 2007 will reside in Single Active Directory under the Same Organizational Unit for a single Domain in HC. This implies that at a time, a user can have all these services enabled on a single user account in Active Directory. When one of these services is removed from the user, HC takes care of preserving attributes for other services. User account is not removed in this Case.

Miscellaneous Features

Provided Outlook Anywhere Support
Provided Mail Only Hosting Support
Support for 64-bit OS
Support for Exchange in Multiple AD Domains
Support for Exchange Clustered Mailbox Servers (CCR)
Support for Exchange in English and other MS Supported Languages

*Some features which are supported in Exchange 2010 Module, may not be available in Hosted Exchange 2010 SP1 "/hosting" switch in hosting mode. Check with HC Support team to get details.
