[ExchangeList] Re: System attendant will not start on cluster node

http://www.msexchange.org
-------------------------------------------------------Do you think PSS will 
listen to us, looking at the fact our customer 
for whom we do the remote management, is still using Exchange 5.5? To 
be honoust, I wouldnt blame them if they would simply hang up the phone 
as soon as I mention "Exchange 5.5" :-)
