I don't know if anyone else has noticed ... but this thread of
discussion is getting no-where really really fast. we can all sit here
and argue and go in circles for ever OR
We can just leave it at:
If you don't like outlook and funcionality that it provides when hooked
into an exchange backend because of whatever reason - then don't use it
and feel free to find an alternative mail client that will best suit the
needs of your company.
If you are one of the many admins who don't mind MS and their continual
patching (of both outlook and related systems), and whose clients
(users) use outlook and manage to take advantage of it's functionality
then great. Outlook is a widely used prodcut that offers a great deal of
flexibility. Part of that popularity and flexibility means that it will
be a target of mailicious attacks.
As a proactive admin you should be guarding yourself and your users
against such activity - Even if outlook is not your preferred mail
client.
Education is the key. Self-education in regard to knowing what Exchange
and Outlook are capable of and how best to implement it to protect
yourself, users and your company. Education for the users so they may
take advantage of the many features available to them. Education of
others by sharing your knowledge so that others can benefit from your
good / bad experiences.

Subject: RE: Ban Outlook
Most of my users only use the bathroom a couple of times a day too, but
I
consider bathrooms to be an important feature to have. Our users make
quite
a bit of use of Outlook functionality, actually. E-mail may be the most
common use, but we also schedule all of our conference rooms and common
assets via Outlook, we do meeting invitations, use public folders, tasks
folders and a few even make use of the Journal.
With the Exchange back-end it's a powerful information tool -- one that
I'm
not inclined to take away from my users just so I can try and teach them
Pegasus.
