Integrating Exchange Server 2007 and SharePoint Server

Executive Summary: Learn how to configure Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) to work with Exchange Server and Outlook Web Access (OWA) so your organization can use an intranet to easily share documents.

We all know that Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 acts as the primary interface to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. You might not realize, though, that other Microsoft Office products are also designed to integrate easily with Exchange Server. The best example is Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS 2007), the workplace collaboration and content management platform. When you configure MOSS 2007 to work with Exchange 2007, the users in your organization will be able to easily share documents over a corporate intranet.

Quick Introduction to MOSS 2007
MOSS lets you create an internal Web site (an intranet site) for use by your company’s employees. An intranet site can be used to display corporate announcements and provide access to the corporate directory, but you can set up such sites manually without using MOSS. MOSS’s true value is in letting you establish a document library on your intranet site that allows users to check out, modify, and return documents. Using MOSS permissions, you can control which users are able to read or modify a document. . . .
