Microsoft® NNTP Service makes it easy for users in your organization to engage in discussions on various topics with other users inside and outside the organization.
They can read articles by others, post their own articles, and join conversation threads about topics of interest to them.
NNTP Service supports the Internet-standard Network News Transport Protocol (NNTP) and is fully compatible with other NNTP servers and clients.
It offers scalability, reliability, security, and performance.
It supports a few users in a department or thousands of concurrent users throughout the organization or around the world with a single-server configuration.
You can set up and manage NNTP Service easily using standard Microsoft Internet Information Server tools.
