Windows Server Forum / Exchange Server / Clients / July 2008Outlook 2007 in a Office 2003 environment
My company is a Novell Groupwise shop and currently running Office 2003 (wothout Outlook 2003). As part of Groupwise to Exchange 2007 migration project, we neeed to decide just to install Outlook 2007 on the workstations so that it will be a mixed Outlook 2007 and rest of office 2003, or to move completely to Office 2007 (THis will need a lot of planning since we are talking about over 15000 workstations). Do you know what functionality you will loose by having Outlook 2007 and rest of Office 2003 suite ? Amila You might take a look at this: http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/evaluation/featurecomparison.mspx Additionally if you haven't looked yet, there will be the additional cost of Outlook 2007 CAL's. They are no longer included with Exchange. > My company is a Novell Groupwise shop and currently running Office 2003 > (wothout Outlook 2003).

Assuming we are definitely going for Outlook 2007, how do you compare outlook 2007 in an environment where rest of the applications in Office 2003 and in an all office 2007 environment.

Are you asking about interoperability? i.e.; will Outlook 2007 behave when all the rest of the apps on the computer are Office2003 based (like Word, Excel, etc?)? >I apologise if you misunderstood my question.

Option 1 : Outlook 2007 and Word,Excel,PP 2003 Option 2 : Outlook 2007 and Word, Excel, PP 2007 (Complete Office 2007) Between options 1 and 2, what outlook 2007 features will be lost if we choose option 1 ? I know some of the editing features are lost (such as insering tables, background spell checking) in optin 1. Is there any location where I can find a list of features that will be lost in this configuration. Amila > I'm afraid I don't understand your question then. > Are you asking about interoperability?

For the rest, you might best post in an Office newsgroup for the most help. >> I'm afraid I don't understand your question then. >> Are you asking about interoperability?
