  • Article

Good afternoon everyone!

Thank you for attending the webcast on Exchange 2007. I hope everyone enjoyed the webcast. I know some of you enjoyed the fact that I am not the only that has their significant other book a vacation in the middle of the woods to no access to email.

I also took a look through the comments that came in on the survey and a comment came in about needing more technical depth. I know this session was just an overview; however I also want to make sure that everyone gets the information they need. For more detail on Exchange 2007, I would highly recommend that you check out Harold Wong’s 24 part webcast series on Exchange 2007.
