Microsoft solution for Hosted Messaging and Collaboration

[Ana_19]

Hi,
I need help about Microsoft solution for hosted Messaging and Collaboration and the provisioning component (Microsoft Provisioning system, MPS).

We have a customer with an Exchange and Active directory hosting environment (Microsoft Exchange 2003 and Windows 2003), it’s required new, delete and modifications user accounts, new emails account, mailbox size modifications, etc. We are thinking in to do this provisioning with MPS (hosted messaging and collaboration 3.0).

The problems are:
- I need more information about this solution (the information at http://www.microsoft.com/serviceproviders/solutions/hostedmessaging.mspx it's not enough)
- I can't find the solution in MSDN or TechNet Subscription and I can't to evaluate
- I have the Microsoft solution for windows-based hosted and the version of MPS witch is included is MPS 1.1. This MPS version isn't .NET and required Windows 2000 (it's based on COM).

My questions are:
- How can I get the Microsoft solution for Hosted Messaging and Collaboration 3.0 (based in Hosted Exchange 2003)? (a trial version its enough for evaluation)
- What is the MPS latest version?

Any further information about Hosted Exchange 3.0 will be appreciated.

Thanks in advanced and regards
A

Hi, Ana,

Scroll past Additional Info you'll see Get the Solution; however, I don't know if you'll get a trial version.
