MS Office Forum / Outlook / Installation and Configuration / February 2007Can I install Outlook 2007 on my Exchange 2007?
I know that Microsoft historically have not supported Outlook installed directly on an Exchange server. Does anybody know if this has changed with Outlook/Exchange 2007? We have developed an application that requires an Outlook profile to be present on the Exchange Server - which is why we need Outlook to be installed. Any help highly appreciated. Henrik. I believe it's still discouraged. Check for sure with the exchange server newsgroups.

That's correct -- you should never install Outlook on your Exchange server machine. The original problem: > We have developed an application that requires an Outlook profile to be > present on the Exchange Server - which is why we need Outlook to be > installed. is answered here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306962/en-us -- dan Yes you can install Outlook 2007 on your Exchange 2007 server. We no longer ship the client side binaries on the Exchange server so you are free to do this when you want :) SignatureThis posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

So as long as you don't try and mix the standalone MAPI install with Outlook (because those are both client binaries), everything will be fine. -- dan All older version of Exchange ship with a stub dll and that is why outlook cant be installed otherwise exchange will call functions from the other dll and this is what causes problems. Exchange 2007 is using XSO and MAPI.net and we also consolidated the dll's so you are safe :) SignatureThis posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Can I quote you on that? :) (see I dunno, fifty gazillion past threads wanting exactly what that sounds like it is..) -- dan LOL, yes stevens blog is for older versions but is very detailed as to why you wouldnt want to in the past. You are totally safe with installing outlook 2007 on exchange 2007. :) SignatureThis posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Can I quote you on that? :) (see I dunno, fifty gazillion past threads wanting exactly what that sounds like it is..) -- dan Hi, We have an application that uses both the Exchange MAPI DLL binaries (installed from ESM, from Exchange 2003) and Outlook MAPI DLL binaries (installed from Outlook 2003). We need to do this because the Exchange MAPI DLL doesn't have a PST Provider that supports UNICODE format. We are a Server Side application, that needs the robustness of Exchange MAPI, but using that restricts us to only non-Unicode PST files. With the new MAPI/CDO download/install however, we are STOPPED from installing that and Outlook 2003. This is a major regression in capability for us. Question is: What do we need to do build a Server-Side application that can use both Exchange MAPI DLL and the Outlook MAPI DLL? Thanks. |
