Sorry about that - I think I wasn't very clear about my previous question. For the moment, lets take Outlook 2003 out of the picture...
My question is regarding Exchange *Server* 2003 running within a Windows 2000 -or- Windows 2003 Server environment. I heard you can install an Exchange 2003 Server into a Windows 2000 Server environment, and it will WORK, but it won't work as well as it could, versus being inside of a Windows 2003 Server environment. So with that said, I was just curious about the functionality that I would be missing out on, if I was to stick with Windows 2000 as my main Domain environment. Thanks!

(THANKS) I think you are looking at it backwards. You don't lose any functionality at all. However you don't gain the added functionality that Exchange 2003 has such as RPC over HTTPS. Outlook 2003 is the best ever regardless of your mail platform IMO. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Anderson Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2004 8:20 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Clicking on messages with large attachments... (THANKS) I remember reading though, that you lose a lot of the new functionality, if you don't run it within a Windows 2003 domain environment. I guess there are some 2003 specific goodies (that you can't take advantage of) unless you are running 2003. Any comments on that? I'd really rather not rock the boat if I don't have to, and stay with Windows 2000. Thanks for any additional information, Mike -----Original Message----- From: Douglas A.

(THANKS) Outlook 2003 is a lot better... Once you get used to the new location of everything. If you mean do you have to install Windows 2003 on your domain controllers before you upgrade to Exchange 2003, no you don't. You do need to re-run Domain Prep and Forest Prep to update the AD schema, but you can leave your DCs at Windows 2000. -Doug Jones -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Anderson Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2004 2:57 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Clicking on messages with large attachments... (THANKS) Hello Everybody, I installed Outlook 2003 last night on my boss's machine, and she loves it! I enabled Caching Mode, and once the initial sync was done, it ran like a charm. And the coolest part was, our VPN went down this morning for a while, SO it was immediate satisfaction for me to show her, that her mail was still there, and could work normally. And then once the VPN came back up, it automatically connected and pulled down the new messages. Very Very nice. This is the way it SHOULD have been running this entire time, using Offline folders. But like I mentioned, it never worked quite right.... Thanks again everybody, that threw in their 2 cents worth. On another note, we have Exchange 2003 sitting here on CD, BUT I am afraid to upgrade our system, because I finally got it working smoothly (for like 6 months now). I always hate messing with something that is working really well - and the domain controller also has to be upgraded to Windows 2003 Server right? Has the upgrade path been pretty smooth for everybody that has went from 2000 to 2003? Thanks!
