Exchange with Outlook XP/2003 - Remote Access

[UTN]

Hi All,
Just wanted to confirm a few things.

Current Config:
Server - Win2003 - Exchange 2003 Standard
Clients - Win XP - Outlook XP / Outlook 2003

I understand that with the RPC over HTTP, Outlook 2003 users can login with
Exchange server the native way without going through VPN or such.
Now, for Outlook XP/2002 users, they can not connect to Exchange Server 2003
via RPC over HTTP? Therefore, they will need to be setup using the IMAP4
protocol.

The question is, if the above is true, then can Outlook XP users still share
their calendars with the Outlook 2003 users and vice-versa?

Thank you,
UTN

The calendar is not accessible except using outlook in exchange mode (either
via vpn or rpc over http) or OWA. If you purchase the insight connector, you
could use the calendar with IMAP but that is the only way...
