Currently I have Outlook 2K on one of the DC's and I PCAnywhere (if I'm dialing in) or VNC (if I'm onsite) to that server to get my mail from them. I was thinking I could move it off that DC but didn't want to move it to the other box unless it was something other than Outlook.
Eventually I will install a proper Exchange Server and just OWA to it, as currently their "in house" e-mail system is Win 95 workgroup e-mail! Don't laugh when I first started with these guys they were using Outlook Express and all their mail - even to each other - went via their ISP POP3 ....and their connection was a shared 56K dial-up... Exchange client...that's not such a bad idea. Is there any way to get it and install it on a W2K server?

But it's long been deprecated. Perhaps using TS to connect to another machine would be a better idea? I have a machine at home that I can access most anywhere from TS for example and it has access to all of my mail accounts. On 3/13/03 11:44, "Lum, David" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Long story.
