OK to have Outlook 2003 and 2007 on the same server?

[Dennis_S]

We have a user that wants to try Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager
on the same 2003 terminal server that has Office 2003 including Outlook 2003.

We have Exchange 2003.

Is this a problem to have both versions coexist on the same server? Will
2007 install if 2003 is already installed?

Thanks.

There can be only 1 instance of Outlook installed on a host. While
other components of MS Office can have multiple instances of different
versions concurrently installed, that is not true for Outlook.

Tell your user to use VirtualPC, VMWare Server, or VirtualBox to run
another instance of Windows (for which another license is required) to
test inside a virtual machine.

I don't think the two will coexist.
