Microsoft® Exchange Server 2003 provides a rich environment for messaging and collaborative application development. By closely integrating with Windows Server® 2003 and core services such as the Active Directory® directory service and Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), Exchange Server 2003 simplifies application development, deployment, and management, and helps ensure a faster return on the development investment. For more information about Exchange Server 2003, see the Microsoft Exchange Server Online link Web site.

This is the "final" release of the Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Software Development Kit (SDK). We do not plan to update the documentation or samples unless the product APIs change significantly. Developers are encouraged to use the APIs and features of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, which is the successor to Exchange Server 2003. Microsoft and the Exchange Developer Documentation Group thank you for your ongoing support and comments on our work in this SDK. We look forward to working even more closely with you on the Exchange Server 2007 SDK.
