Migrating from WebDAV
Topic Last Modified: 2007-04-17
WebDAV is used to develop messaging applications. WebDAV provides access to folders, items, and item properties in the Exchange store. WebDAV can remotely access computers that are running Microsoft Exchange.
WebDAV is de-emphasized in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. We recommend that you use Exchange Web Services to develop new messaging applications, and migrate existing applications to this technology when possible.
Migrating to Exchange Web Services
Exchange Web Services provides the same access to the Exchange store that WebDAV provides. You will have to redesign applications that were created by using WebDAV to use Exchange Web Services. Consider redesigning custom applications that were created by using WebDAV as early as possible, as future versions of Microsoft Exchange may not include WebDAV.
