Using Outlook 2007 on dedicated server

[Candy]

Our company just leased a managed server running Windows Server 2003, and we
are about to purchase Office Professional Plus 2007 for all the staff, this
was to resolve security issues with clients. My question is, will multiple
users be able to set up personal email accounts in Outlook so that we each
get our own email? Thanks for any help on this subject.

If you are planning on installing 1 Office on a server and wanting multiple
clients to use it from there, my instict is to say yes and no.

Yes, you can have multiple profiles set up on one machine.
No, you cannot run more than 1 instance of Outlook at a time.

Did you into installing an Exchange Server

Are you talking about setting up Office/Outlook on a terminal server? If
yes, there are a few caveats you need to consider.

You will need an Enterprise version of Office with a volume license key,
plus licenses for everyone who will be using Office on the terminal server.

Thank you all for your answers. I don't believe it is an Exchange Server.
I'm not sure if it is an Enterprise version of Office, but I do know that
they are buying licenses for everyone who will be using the server. I will
go back to the powers that be and find out more information.
