Tools Support

Microsoft provides support for only the latest version of the tools. The latest version of the tool is supported as long as the product it works with is supported.

If you have any questions regarding the documentation for these tools, send your feedback to exchdocs@microsoft.com.


Compatibility

Updates to the tools are cumulative. Newer versions of the tools provide the same baseline functionality that the earlier versions provide as long as Exchange Server functionality still supports the earlier tool.


Languages

Unless otherwise noted, tools are available in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Chinese Simplified, and Chinese Traditional. Tools marked as English only may work on localized platforms, but such use has not been tested and is not supported by Microsoft.

Tools below are available from Microsoft (at the time this page was published, but may change) I don't have the links included here because I have no control over Microsoft's website and they change the locations of the files frequently.
