Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007

Hello Exchangetechy,

 

Both Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2007 have some unique features.

 

Exchange Server 2003 shares same features of Microsoft Mobile Information Server including Outlook Mobile Access and Active Sync. Management tools for mailboxes, messages, Anti-Virus, and Anti-Spam have been improved. Exchange Conferencing Server and Instant Messaging are now separated and the server now has a shorter down time.

 

The Exchange Server 2007 has a better mobility and calendar. Also web access and unified messages have been improved. The system shall be more protective because of better Anti-Spam, Anti-Virus, compliance, and clustering.

 

Lastly, you may wish to ask advices from your department. Hope this could helps.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007

Hi, Exchangetechy! Yes, there is quite a big difference between Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. But if you want new features then Microsoft Exchange Server offers a lot and new features. If you want improvement in your security, web access, performance like increasing your storage (e-mail thing), etc.. then I prefer you use Microsoft Server 2007.  Maybe the department wanted you to have a better mobility to your connection then you should take the department's advice.
