Microsoft private newsgroups will be available for technical support. Private newsgroups are accessed from a dedicated news server and require a User ID and Password before giving you access.

To access the NNTP newsgroups you will need a newsreader program. The newsgroups can also be accessed via your Internet browser by connecting to http://webnews.microsoft.com. You will need to use the account information listed below to configure either newsgroup viewing option. More detailed information about accessing the newsgroups is available on BetaPlace. **NOTE: Please wait 24 hours from the time you receive this e-mail before trying to access the newsgroups and BetaPlace.**

All newsgroups for this beta program begin with: xxxxxxxx.xxx.xxxx.xxxxxx.xxxx

Access to this specific program page on BetaPlace and its newsgroups is limited to participants of this beta release. Microsoft will never request that you send your password information to us via email or any other method. We already have this information on file, and any attempt to obtain your password could indicate fraudulent activity and should be reported to us immediately via the email address below. Please do not share this account information beyond the scope of what is allowed under the License Agreement for this beta. In addition, please do not discuss this beta in newsgroups outside of this program, including other Microsoft newsgroups.

Before you continue, it is important to understand that the beta release of any product will not display the stability of a shipped Microsoft product. You may encounter problems with Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003 beta that could possibly result in a loss or destruction of data. This release is not appropriate for production use, and we suggest that you back up your existing data before you install and run this software.

If you need assistance, please send e-mail to SMS2003@microsoft.com. This e-mail alias is for administrative issues only and is unable to answer technical support questions.

Thank you for participating in this beta program. We look forward to your valuable feedback.

The Systems Management Server Group
