SharePoint Server Updates Soon, Ready for Office11 Beta 2

Dear Office 11 Beta Participant,

In preparation for [Office 11] Beta 2 which will be coming in Q1 2003, the Office 11 pre-release program that you are participating in will be upgrading the Hosted SharePoint Team Services Beta 1 servers to Beta 2 bits in mid February 2003.

This letter is being sent to inform you, the site owner and beta participant, of our plan to upgrade these servers and the potential impact to your hosted beta site. This message will be sent twice to the site owners of record for the beta program.

We strongly advise you to ensure that you have copies of any data that is stored on your beta site. The EULA that was included with the beta explains that there are no guarantees for the use or reliability of this beta software. You should be aware that during the beta 1 to beta 2 upgrade process, some or all the changes you have made or information you have stored in the beta site may not be migrated properly, and could be permanently lost.

The current plan is that the upgrade will begin at any time after February 10, 2003. If you do not wish to have any of the information in the site viewed by Microsoft during the upgrade, you must delete the site content, or the site itself, before the upgrade begins.

If you have specific questions concerning this, please post them to the general (Beta)newsgroup.

Thank you

The Microsoft Office Team
