Please advise.
Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007
Hello Exchangetechy,
Â
Both Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2007 have some unique features.
Â
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.
Â
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.

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. Â Maybe the department wanted you to have a better mobility to your connection then you should take the department's advice.Â
