I was given a class project to build a small business and
everything that goes along with it. Well I have most of it
done and need some help. I have 200 branch locations and
would like to provide company email to all of them. I need
to know which one is better, Exchange client or Outlook
2002. I need to know costs, and compatability issues. And
anything else that would help me get a good grade on this.
Please email me back at (e-mail address removed) with any
informantion that you think would help.

Thanks
Nick Ludlow
 
He must be kidding... a small business ususally has one
location... with 200 branch offices he's well on the way
to making the S&P 500 composite!!!!
 
If I had wanted some stupid dumb person to reply then I
would have posted this question somewhere else. See I have
been looking on the internet for about 2 weeks and cannot
find everything I'm looking for. First Exchange Client is
no longer supported so finding a bunch of stuff about it
is a little hard. And second if you do a search on the
internet then you would have found the same crap that I
have been finding, which is useless. I thought I'd find
some intelligent person that would be willing to help me
out, but instead all I find is people that would rather
take the time to say stupid and dumb stuff rather than
take the time to help. So please If you are going to take
the time to respone to someone's questions than try to
help and not make some feel bad for asking a question.
 
You keep thinking small and I'll think big. If you can
help then please feel free to, if not then be mean to
someone else.
 
If you're already spending the money on an Exchange Server infrastructure,
your decision is already made. You cannot purchase the Exchange Client, it
isn't supported, and the technolody is more than 5 years old. Outlook 2002
is the current, premium Exchange Server client, so if you're going with
Exchange Server, you should be going with Outlook.

Cost projection and such is a bit beyond the scope of this newsgroup.
Besides hardware costs, support staff/agreement costs, implementation, and
employee/support staff training, (to name a few) you'll need to factor in
licensing. You can do some research on that here:
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/
 
When I bought this company I was told that we already own
100 license for exchange client. We have Exchange server
5.5, can I use any version of Outlook on it? Can you tell
me any advantages of Exchange versus Outlook, but not
support? If I already own Exchange why should I use
Outlook besides support?

Thanks
