Microsoft Adds More Intranet Power to Windows NT Server 4.0
Adds New Search Server; Includes FrontPage for Web Site Authoring and
Management 

SAN JOSE, Calif. - June 13, 1996 - Microsoft Corp. today announced it
will extend the Internet and intranet functionality in the Windows NT®
Server version 4.0 operating system by integrating Microsoft® Search
Server (code-named "Tripoli") and its FrontPage™ Web authoring and
site-management tools into the product.

With these tools, users will be able to find information on distributed
servers within their intranet and inside any documents, including those
created by Microsoft Office. With FrontPage 1.1, they will also be able
to create Web pages with a rich variety of templates, audit and check
the page links, and manage the overall Web sites they create.
These features supplement the Internet and intranet technologies
previously announced for Windows NT Server 4.0, including Microsoft
Internet Information Server (IIS), the fastest Web server available for
Windows NT Server; Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM), which
allows components to communicate securely across the Internet; DNS/WINS
Server, which allows users to find sites on the Internet and intranets
easily; and point-to-point tunneling protocol (PPTP), a technology that
extends the capacity of the Windows NT Server Remote Access Server (RAS)
to enable secure private networks across the Internet. 

"Customers tell us that Windows NT Server is the best platform for the
Internet and corporate intranets," said Jim Allchin, senior vice
president of the desktop and business systems division at Microsoft. "By
adding authoring, management, and search technologies, we're making
Windows NT Server 4.0 the total Internet or intranet platform." 

Microsoft Search Server 

Microsoft's content-indexing and searching technology ("Tripoli") for
Windows NT Server 4.0 offers automatic content indexing of HTML pages
and other documents stored on corporate intranet servers, such as those
created in Microsoft Office. In addition to indexing full-text content,
Search Server also indexes OLE document properties and HTML tags,
allowing users to search on the contents of these properties and tags.
This capability is designed to make it easier for users to find
information without additional administrative overhead. 

Search Server is an element of the Microsoft "Cairo" technology and
features tight integration with Windows NT Server Directory for secure
search and with the Windows NT file system for high efficiency. The
product can index multiple servers and provides support for multiple
languages. Search Server also supports sophisticated linguistic analysis
in each language, allowing users to find documents or properties based
on grammatically correct variations of nouns and verbs. 

Authoring and Site Management 

The Microsoft FrontPage 1.1 Web authoring and management tool also will
be included in Windows NT Server 4.0. FrontPage enables nonprogrammers
as well as experienced developers to create and manage
professional-quality Web sites. Part of the Microsoft Office family,
FrontPage 1.1 is designed for both individual users and collaborative
work environments. The FrontPage client/server architecture supports
authoring and Web-site management from a user's desktop, across a
corporate LAN or over the Internet. 

FrontPage 1.1 is scheduled to be included in Windows NT Server 4.0 when
it is released, expected this summer. Search Server is currently in beta
version (Windows NT Server 4.0 beta 2 customers can download the beta
version at no charge from http://microsoft.com/ntserver/search/). It is
scheduled for release in the third quarter of 1996 and will be available
at no charge to all customers of Windows NT Server 4.0.
Founded in 1975, Microsoft (NASDAQ "MSFT") is the worldwide leader in
software for personal computers. The company offers a wide range of
products and services for business and personal use, each designed with
the mission of making it easier and more enjoyable for people to take
