When working with a product as widely used as Exchange, it is not surprising to find that
some very good and useful information can be found in some interesting places. Microsoft
definitely is not the only source of information on Exchange; in fact, in many cases you may
prefer unbiased information about Exchange that can come only from a non-Microsoft source.
Several third-party Web sites provide technical information and places to share real-world
experiences with Exchange, and I want to share some of the best Web sites with you.
Unfortunately I cannot list them all, so you'll want to browse the links on the sites I have
listed because they likely link to sites I have not listed. I am listing them, with a very
brief description of each site.
- The Entourage Help Page (http://www.entourage.mvps.org): This site is devoted
to Microsoft Entourage: mac, the Macintosh-based Exchange client. You can find the homepage
for Entourage at http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/entouragex/entouragex.aspx?pid=entouragex.
- Exchange Resource Center (http://www.amrein.com/eworld.htm): This site is a clearinghouse of Exchange-related
resources, such as books, articles, software, tools, and FAQs.
- KBAlertz (http://www.kbalertz.com): This site
was developed by Dave Wanta, a network administrator and developer. To stay abreast of
Microsoft technologies, Dave spent a weekend writing a notification service that is tied to
the Microsoft Knowledge Base Online. The service was designed to notify him when a new
Knowledge Base article was released by Microsoft. Dave turned his service into KBALertz,
which provides free e-mail and RSS notification of new Knowledge Base articles as soon as
Microsoft posts them.
- The Mail Resource Center (http://www.mail-resources.com): The Mail Resource
Center includes messaging-related news and information plus tools. Its Web Links section in
particular is worth a visit -- it has more than 400 links in 61 different categories.

and tutorials for configuring Exchange features, details on third-party add-on products,
