SUMMARY
=======

Exchange Server 4.0:

Exchange Server version 4.0 Standard Edition does not come with the Internet Mail
Connector (IMC), the X.400 Connector, or the Site Connector. To install any of
these connectors you must first purchase or create the installation disks. If
you plan to perform directory replication with other Exchange Server sites, you
must install the Site Connector.

NOTE: The Select May 1996 Complete Release Burgundy CD contains the Standard
Edition. See the "More Information" section of this article.

Exchange Server 5.0:

Exchange Server version 5.0 Standard Edition does not come with the X.400
Connector or the Site Connector. To install either of these connectors you must
first purchase or create the installation disks. If you plan to perform
directory replication with other Exchange Server sites, you must install the
Site Connector. If you subscribed to Select CD, your CD may or may not have
these connectors, depending on your customer subscription. Linkage Connectors
are not included in the Exchange Server 5.0 Service Packs and are discontinued.
