The Microsoft Exchange Discussion Wizard differs from the basic discussion wizard included with Microsoft FrontPage in that it stores messages and documents on an Exchange Server computer. This provides benefits over a Web- only accessible discussion group.

You can create views on Microsoft Exchange folders that are also available to both Microsoft Outlook and Web users.
