There are a few requirements for Outlook Anywhere deployment. The server-side must use Microsoft Exchange 2003 or Exchange 2007 on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and the client-side must use Windows XPSP2 or later. The Exchange server must be configured to allow connections through the internet.

Outlook Anywhere and Exchange 2013

Outlook Anywhere is enabled by default in Exchange. The only thing you need to do to use Outlook Anywhere is to have a validSSL certificate on your server. The default self-signed certificate is required for mailbox server in your organization.

Outlook 2003 clients might still be in your organization if you install Exchange 2013 in a coexistence scenario. Outlook 2003 is not supported by Exchange. Before you move your namespace to Exchange, you need to make sure that all Outlook clients are upgraded to the minimum supported version.

Understanding Outlook Anywhere

Compatible Outlook 2011 Add-ins

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager software system from Microsoft, and is available as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Outlook includes functions such as calendaring, task managing, contact managing, note-taking, journal logging, and web browsing. Microsoft Entourage was an Outlook-like application for Mac OS in Office 2001, but it lacked Exchange connections.

Mac OS X has Entourage 2004 Service Pack 2 that provides partial support for Exchange server. Entourage is a distinct application that has several features that are not related to Outlook. Exchange support was added to Entourage 2008 Web Services Edition.

Outlook for Mac 2011, which is compatible with Mac and Windows, is more compatible than Entourage. Outlook is the first native version of MacOS. The standard.eml format is compatible with any email client that uses the normal protocols.

The standard-compliant email clients use additional headers to store software-specific information, so that it can be read in any text editor and searched or index like any document by any Outlook add-ins are small programs that are purposed to add new capabilities to Outlook and automate routine operations. The main function of the programs is to work on Outlook files.

How to Detect Patching and Updates in Outlook

There is no way to discover whether Outlook clients need to be patched or updated inside Office365. The Get-Connection ByClientTypeDetailReport is a tool that tells you what users have used MAPI clients to connect to Exchange Online. It is easy to figure out version numbers for Exchange clients on-premises, but it is more difficult for Office365 as Microsoft controls the required information. The Get-LogonStatistics cmdlet is available for Exchange Online, but any attempt to pass it on fails.

Internet Connection Speed

The actual internet connection speed is what the reported speed is for when you have a modem in your computer. It would be foolish to change the value of what is considered slow and fast.

The time of the computer

The computer time should be no more than 5 minutes different from the domain controller's time. If you have more, check the NTP time synchronization scheme.
