In his keynote address, Microsoft vice president Brian Valentine announced new add-ons for Exchange Server 5.5. The new programs will help companies move from Lotus Notes to Exchange Server. Application Analyzer for Lotus Notes looks at the structure of a company's Notes installation and cleans out features that aren't used. The Application Conversion Assistant for Lotus Notes migrates Notes applications, including files, databases, and electronic forms, to Exchange. Application Connector for Lotus Notes lets Notes and Exchange applications work together.
Users can access both systems.
Microsoft Importer for Lotus Notes Mail migrates existing Lotus Notes mailboxes to Exchange. One interesting twist is that users can keep the Notes interface after migration, so they won't need training to learn to use Outlook. Mail users who migrate to Exchange preserve important information in the personal folders. Das Office Service Release 2 ist entweder als Patch oder als Product Replacement-CD erh ltlich. SR-1 installiert werden.
