Are you looking to keep it running 24/7 to do rules that are client-side only? The rules setup on the mailbox that are server-side do not require the client to be running to process. The rules you create will be marked as Client Only in your rules list after you create the rule if they are not able to be processed client-side: [cid:[email protected]] Client-side rules are processed only when the client is open. Of course, that doesn't answer any of your questions and if you knew that already then just ignore this. :) From: Evan Brastow [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, July 13, 2009 10:51 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Installing Outlook 2007 on a server? Hi guys, Yes, I know this is flame bait. Assuming adequate CPU power, is there any known reason why I couldn't installed Outlook 2007 on a server? It would either be a W2k3 Server domain controller, or a W2k Server box (non-dc) running Exchange 2003 Enterprise. I'm leaning toward putting it on the former. The purpose of this is that I have a mailbox that my customer service people attach to that receives all of our orders-related emails. I'd like to have a box with guaranteed uptime available to run the Outlook client on so that it can do rule-based filing and marking of items as they come in. Downsides?
