Linkage von Microsoft �bernommen
Microsoft hat per 30. Juni die Kanadische Firma LinkAge Software Inc. �bernommen und plant, die LinkAge Connectoren (Notes, SNADS, OfficeVision, cc:Mail) evt. in zuk�nftige Versionen von Exchange zu integrieren. Anbei die offizielle Presseerkl�rung:

Microsoft Acquires LinkAge Software
Provides Key Interoperability Technology to Microsoft Exchange Server

REDMOND, Wash. � June 30, 1997 � Microsoft Corp. today announced that it has acquired LinkAge Software Inc., the Toronto-based developer of industry-leading e-mail connectivity and directory synchronization software. As customers migrate to Microsoft� Exchange Server, LinkAge technology makes it easy to coexist with legacy messaging systems such as IBM OfficeVision (PROFS) on the VM operating system and SNADS-based systems such as IBM OfficeVision on the AS/400 and MVS, Fisher TAO and Verimation Memo.
In addition, LinkAge's Notes Connector allows Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes users to share e-mail, directories, document links and attachments. This acquisition will build upon Microsoft Exchange's capability to interoperate with Lotus cc:Mail, Microsoft Mail, Novell GroupWise, DEC All-In-One and X.400-based systems.
"We have been working with LinkAge for more than five years and found it committed to delivering best-of-breed solutions for connecting customers' legacy e-mail environments with Microsoft Exchange Server,� said Rich Tong, vice president of marketing and training in the personal and business systems group at Microsoft. "The addition of the LinkAge technology and, more important, its outstanding development and services team will help us continue to fulfill our vision of delivering premier messaging and collaboration technologies to our customers.�
Bob Jull, president of LinkAge, said, "We are delighted by the transaction because it represents the ultimate vote of confidence in our technology by Microsoft, and it means our technology will be available to a much broader range of customers.�
LinkAge technology is intended to be integrated into the Microsoft Exchange product line and will be made available by the worldwide network of Microsoft resellers and solution providers.
The LinkAge development team will join the Microsoft Exchange Server team at the Redmond, Wash., headquarters of Microsoft, while the consulting and support staff will continue to be based in Toronto. LinkAge customers will be serviced and supported by Microsoft.
Founded in 1985, LinkAge Software Inc. is a leading supplier of directory management and electronic mail connectivity solutions. The company's mission is to interconnect diverse messaging systems anywhere.


Exchange und NT wachsen n�her zusammen
Obwohl erst k�rzlich die neue Version von Exchange Server vorgestellt wurde, arbeitet Microsoft zur Zeit daran, zuk�nftige Versionen von Exchange Server und NT Server enger miteinander zu verbinden.
Eine Version von Exchange, welche auf dem NT Active Directory Service beruht, wird gem�ss Microsoft Group Product Manager Greg Lobdell innerhalb 30 bis 45 Tagen nach Verf�gbarkeit von NT 5.0 erwartet. Die n�chste Version von NT (5.0) wird allerdings nicht vor Ende Jahr (evt. Fr�hjahr 1998) verf�gbar sein.
Das Exchange Directory-Entwicklungsteam wurde zwischenzeitlich in das NT Directory-Team integriert. Detaillierte Informationen �ber Active Directory finden sich auf dem Website von Microsoft.


Neu: Page/X Pager Gateway Beta-Version verf�gbar
Der in Zusammenarbeit mit Dolphin Systems entwickelte Pager-Connector f�r Exchange ist nun in einer Beta-Version verf�gbar. Falls Sie interessiert sind, am Beta-Programm teilzunehmen, setzen Sie sich mit mit uns in Verbindung (Andreas Dick, Tel. 062 823 75 75 oder direkt via E-Mail).


Future: Osmium, die n�chste Version von Microsoft Exchange
Ein Interim-Upgrade von Exchange Server mit Codename Osmium ist f�r das 1. Quartal 1998 geplant. Hier eine (unvollst�ndige) Liste der zu erwartenden Features:
  • IMAP4-Support (Internet Messaging Access Protocol)
  • Erweiterung der 16GB-Kapazit�t der Public Foders auf 16TB
  • Workflow Engine zur nahtlosen Integration von Workflow-Applikationen
  • Systemmanagement via Web-Browser
  • Erweiterter Support f�r das Lightweight Directory Access Protocol Version 3.0 (LDAP 3)
  • S/MIME-Support (Secure Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension)
  • Event Scripting Engine f�r System-Administratoren
  • Reaktivierung von bereits gel�schten Messages
Allerdings ist die Integration mit dem Microsoft Active Directory Service erst zu einem sp�teren Zeitpunkt nach dem Erscheinen von Windows NT 5 geplant.

Die Zukunft der Exchange Clients
Die aktuellen Exchange-Clients haben offenbar langsam das Ende ihres Lebenszyklus erreicht. Dave Malcolm, Group Product Manager f�r Exchange bei Microsoft, wurde in InfoWorld Electric wie folgt zitiert:
"The existing Exchange clients will be maintained but not extended."
Der bevorzugte Client f�r den Exchange Server ist Microsoft Outlook und zur Zeit nur f�r Windows 95 und Windows NT verf�gbar. Das n�chste Exchange-Release (geplant f�r das zweite Halbjahr) wird voraussichtlich 16-bit Windows- und Macintosh Outlook-Clients beinhalten.
Zudem wurde ab dem SP1 von Exchange Server 5.0 der Zugriff via Web-Browser auf "Outlook Web Access" (aktuelle Version 5.01) umgetauft. Ein f�r den sp�ten Sommer geplantes Update (5.02) wird gem�ss Scott Gode (Outlook Product Manager) den Zugriff auf die Agenda via Web hinzuf�gen.
Das Fact Sheet f�r Microsoft Outlook for Windows 3.1x und Microsoft Outlook for Macintosh ist via Microsoft Website erh�ltlich.
