how do Outlook 2003/2007 users access their email/calendar when they're on
the road and not online? I'm looking at converting some SBS users who are
currently using local PST stores to Exchange clients.

Thanks.

When they're out and about and can at least connect their own laptops
or you let them use Outlook on their home PCs to connect up you can
use RPC over HTTPS

7&q=rpc+over+https)
to configure access to the Exchange server.

there's no way to have a local store synchronized with Exchange inbox so if
they're offline in a car they can review attachments, read and write emails
etc?

Of course. That's called the OST file.

The OST file syncs up with the Exchange mailbox. You don't need to
have the aforementioned RPC over HTTPS if you don't want.
