After configuring the first exchange server 2007 on the network we connected
the clients. Before the server the Outlook clients were connected to pop
accounts hosted by an oustide company. Configuring the Outlook clients for
the first time, to connect to the exchange 2007 server, we were prompted to
answer a question that was something like "........would you like to use the
settings on the client or would you like to use the settings from the
server..........." I chose "client" side settings because I was assuming
there were some features installed/configured on each of the users computers
that they might want to keep. I thought if i chose to go with "server
settings" that i would disrupt/confuse the end users with too much change or
new functionlity, like deleting some rule or something. Now I am wondering
what are the differences? What are the pros/cons of either option? I cannot
find the answer anywhere. I don't know if there is some functionality i am
missing, like spam filtering on clients, because i made the choice to keep
client settings. Any help would be appreciated.
