Currently in beta release 2, Exchange 2000 is now close to final release. At TechEd this week, Microsoft is debuting a new Conferencing Server for Exchange. The Conferencing Server will work in conjunction with Microsoft's NetMeeting client and Exchange to provide collaborative conferencing, including video sessions, said Stan Sorensen, group product manager for server applications, in a briefing session during the show. The remaining six servers will all be ready by year-end, according to Muglia.
