TechNet Plus Subscriptions

Priority Subscriber Support in TechNet Forums

MSDN subscribers now benefit from priority support in TechNet Forums. We will be finishing our transition from supporting newsgroups in early 2010 (we will replace the remaining newsgroup links below with Forums links at that time) so that you can get answers to your technical questions in a variety of subject areas. A Microsoft engineer will respond within 2 business days to your posting if the community hasn't already gotten you the answer. TechNet Forums are very active community and a great place to both get help and help others.

To receive priority support in the TechNet Forums designated below, please make sure to sign in with the same Windows Live ID you use to access your other subscription benefits; no special configuration is needed.
