SUMMARY

The BackOffice Resource Kit Part One (BORK 1), which includes the Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 Resource Kit and the Systems Management Server Resource Kit, is now available. This article describes the new Microsoft Exchange tools available in BORK 1 and the bug fixes made to the tools previously released on the Microsoft Exchange Server Resource Kit compact disc.

MORE INFORMATION

BORK 1 supersedes the Microsoft Exchange Server Resource Kit compact disc. BORK 1 contains all the original tools released on the Resource Kit compact disc as well as the following six new Microsoft Exchange tools.

• AT&T Mail Migration Wizard Migrates AT&T Mail Access PLUS and AT&T PMX mail messages into personal folders or a mailbox.
• AutoFill Assists in resolving display names as you type in the Microsoft Exchange client.
• Profile Generator Simplifies the process of creating Microsoft Exchange client profiles for roving users. When you create profiles for each type of operating system, users can use any computer with any operating system and still have access to their mailbox.
• Schedule+ Address Book Assistant Copies address book entries and enters them into a Microsoft Schedule+ contact list.
• Self-Certification Form For Temporary Export of encryption software; this tool is to be used when taking products that contain encryption, such as Microsoft Exchange Server, out of the country.
• Simple Mail Handler Archives and filters incoming messages in the Microsoft Exchange client. This tool is client-based, so connection to a Microsoft Exchange Server is not necessary.
