Concern: Is having Outlook 2003 clients going to prevent me from deploying Exchange 2010?

OVERALL STATUS: No, having Oulook 2003 clients is not a deployment blocker. However, you need to understand the following sections and make configuration changes as applicable.

Back since November 9th, 2009 where Exchange Server 2010 released to manufacturing (RTM), there have been a growing concern around whether enterprises are prevented from upgrading or migrating their current Exchange 2003 or Exchange 2007 based messaging infrastructure to Exchange 2010, if Outlook 2003 clients is used within the organization.

The intention with this Wiki page is to list the concerns that we have seen among our customers, partners, and in the miscellaneous Exchange communities.

As some of you probably recall, we already blogged about some of the major considerations on the Exchange team blog, but this article includes a few additional concerns and goes into more detail than the blog post.

    i have problem when i try to install SCOM 2007 reporting service. After a complete successful installation of the
    reporting server – the system makes a automaticly rollback. (SDK Account does
    not have enough rights)… Temporary i`ve add the sdk account to the domain
    admins group… no way. We are using two servers – one for RMS and the other
    for the database. Both servers are running on 64bit
