Outlook 2003 & 2007 for same user

[Guest]

Server is SBS 2003/ Exchange 2003 fully patched. One user has an XP SP2
desktop with Outlook 2003 and a Vista laptop with Outlook 2007. It joins the
domain wirelessly.
The question is; Will this work? What are the problems that can occur? And
how can they be fixed?

 

[BillR [MVP]]

It should be fine.

Does anybody actually have this configuration working? "Should be" is good,
but working is even better. A user has a lot riding on this not blowing up a
critical Outlook calendar and contact database.

I have that very configuration and I've experienced ZERO issues. I might
add that Outlook 2003 is installed on my XP desktop AND on a Toshiba laptop
running Vista Ultimate and I have Outlook 2007 running on my Motion XP
Tablet and on another Toshiba laptop with Vista Ultimate.

Thanks for the reassurance.

It isn't an unusual configuration. Quite a common one I'd say.
