Two significant Exchange Server Announcements

The Exchange Server team has been busy!  Last week, we announced the availability of Service Pack 2 for Exchange Server 2007.  SP2 includes new auditing, backup and directory tools. 

Read about the steps required to install SP2 here

SP2 for Exchange 2007 will also be required in order for the server to coexist with the upcoming Exchange Server 2010; which leads me to the second significant announcement….

We’re also excited to let you know that the Release Candidate for Exchange Server 2010 is available for you to evaluate.  There are several options for you to get your hands on it – download it, download a pre-configured VHD, or try Microsoft Exchange Online.

A product overview is available here and you can download the release candidate from this site

Stay tuned for additional information as it becomes available and let me know if you have questions/comments.
