The Microsoft Exchange Discussion Wizard differs from the basic discussion wizard included with Microsoft FrontPage in that it stores messages and documents on an Exchange Server computer. This provides benefits over a Web- only accessible discussion group.

Because discussion data is stored in an Exchange information store, both Web users and Microsoft Outlook users can participate in the same discussion and share information.

You can create views on Microsoft Exchange folders that are also available to both Microsoft Outlook and Web users.
