SUMMARY
=======

The Eximwiz utility included with the Microsoft BackOffice Resource Kit
volume 2, ISBN 1-57231-534-2 contained a bug that produced an "expired
control" error message.

The following file is available for download from the Microsoft
Software Library:

 ~ Eximwiz.exe
   (Self-extracting executable containing Readme.txt and Setup program
   for the Eximwiz utility.)

For more information about downloading files from the Microsoft Software
Library, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   TITLE     : How to Obtain Microsoft Support Files from Online Services

Eximwiz.exe converts Microsoft Exchange Bulk Export format (.csv) files
to Microsoft Mail import format. After creating the output file, you
can use the tool to interactively import addresses into a
Mail Post Office on the network, or you can e-mail the import
file to external recipients.

In addition, new functionality enables you to export from Mail, and create
a .csv file to add Mail recipients as Microsoft Exchange custom recipients.

Eximwiz is useful when directory synchronization between a Microsoft
Exchange Server implementation and Mail is not a viable option. For
example, you are trying to populate a trading partner's Mail system with
relevant addresses such as purchasing agents, from your global address
list. Eximwiz can also be used to manually perform directory
synchronization between a Microsoft Exchange Server computer and a foreign
mail switch that does not support the Mail Dirsync protocol.
