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. This updated version of Eximwiz will correct the problem.

The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:

   Eximwiz.exe
   (http://download.microsoft.com/download/exch50/Utility/2.0/NT4ALPHA/EN-US/Eximwiz.exe)

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.
