Outlook 2003 from SBS different from Office 2003?

[Ingmar Guillaume]

I have an SBS2003 server installed and distributed the Outlook2003 that came
with it to my clients, while the other office applications still ran the
2000 version.

Last week, we installed the office 2003 suite and I disabled the
installation of Outlook 2003, since it was already installed. Next I
installed the Rights Management Server and the client.

All Office applications now have the Permissions icon, except Outlook. I
have looked through every single setting, but could not find how to enable
it.

This leads me to conclude that the SBS outlook 2003 version might be
different from the Office Outlook 2003. Does anyone have a similar problem
and/or solution ?


TIA,

Ingmar Guillaume

Your analysis is correct. Only the Office 2003 Pro Enterprise edition has WRM support. The standalone copy of Outlook 2003 that comes with SBS does not. If you remove the standalone Outlook and update the Office 2003 installation to add Outlook 2003 you should be OK (assuming you got the right version of OFfice).
