Browse All TopicsWe just deployed a new SBS2008 running Exchange 2007 and found some machines on the network that still have Office 2000, I was not able to get Outlook 2000 connected to Exchange 2007, I did little research and found that it's not gonna work so the reason I'm writing this post is to verify that info and find out if there is maybe a workaround??? This is very important to me to find out if there is a workaround.
Thank you so much!
