The lastest build in 177.3 that I have tested. For some reason the deployment created a 2nd Global Address list and now I show 2 that are both set as default. I have seeing issue with S/MIME with Vista and XP related to smart cards.
Still seeing problem related to Windows 2008 Schema and twists installing on Windows 2008 but that is why they are both beta.
For the most part it is stable and provides some much needed interface updates.

James,
I would be happy to assist, I do answer a lot of question on Exchange-experts under the profile ATIG.
What problems are you seeing?
My examplese use a single site but it works the same if you use multipel sites.
If you post an email address I will not publish it and ping you direct.
