Microsoft to issue Service Pack 2 for Exchange

With Windows 2000 and the next version of Exchange still on the horizon,
Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) has decided to roll out another service pack for the
current version of its messaging and groupware server.

Service Pack 2 for Exchange 5.5, due to ship by month's end, includes bug
fixes; improved S/MIME and calendaring support for Microsoft's Outlook
client for the Macintosh; the Inter Org Replication Utility for replicating
public folders and scheduling data between disparate Exchange servers; and
the Move Server Wizard for reconfiguring Exchange organizations and moving
servers between sites and organizations, officials said.

Service Pack 2 also incorporates migration and coexistence tools for users
of Lotus Development Corp.'s cc:Mail and Notes who want to move to Exchange.

Meanwhile, the next version of Exchange, code-named Platinum and dependent
on the release of Windows 2000, has not yet entered public beta testing. A
"preview" of Platinum was recently released to a small number of customers
and Microsoft employees. It will be available 90 to 120 days after Windows
2000, Microsoft officials have said.

Separately, Microsoft will release by the end of the month Web migration
and coexistence utilities for users of IBM's OfficeVision/VM, Novell Inc.'s
GroupWise, and other LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) or IMAP
(Internet Messaging Access Protocol) based messaging systems.

Service Pack 2 for Exchange 5.5 and other migration utilities will be
available at www.backoffice.microsoft.com/downtrial/default.asp. The
Service Pack 2 for Exchange 5.5 CD version will be available for $14.95.

Microsoft is at www.microsoft.com.
