Outlook 2007 with Exhange 2007 - laptop config recommendation
I've been gradually configuring the office desktop systems to run in domain
mode and use Outlook 2007 to access e-mail on an Exchange 2007 server. I'm about ready to start configuring laptop computers and would like a recommendation. First I want to say that the only reason we've implemented active directory and a network domain is to make accessing mail easier for the users of Outlook 2007. All work files are stored on Netware servers and the only time a workstation accesses the domain is to get e-mail. With that said, I figure I have two options for setting up the laptops so that their users can access e-mail residing on the Exchange 2007 server. 1) Install Outlook 2007. Log the user's laptop into the office domain. Have Outlook create an Exchange type e-mail account/connection. This is used when the user is in the office. When out of the office, user relies on OWA. 2) Install Outlook 2007 and configure it for Outlook Anywhere access, whether the user is in the office and connected to the network (but not as a domain user) or outside of the office Any recommendations on which would be the better way to handle laptop access to the mail server? Anything I need to be particularly worried about if I go with either of these options? I look forward to your response. |

Outlook 2007 with Exhange 2007 - laptop config recommendation
Both are good solutions. In general corporations offer both methods as well.
If the user can work solely in OWA is completely up to the needs of the users. You must research that and then you'll find the optimal solution for your company. You shouldn't make that decision purely based on technical challenges. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "Phillip Armitage" wrote in message ...
