Hi, My outlook 2010 won't connect to Exchange 2000 because it is an unsupported version. What is the best way around this? Thanks for your help in advance.

Downgrade your client to Outlook 2007 Upgrade Exchange to 2003 SP2, Exchange 2007 SP2/SP3, or Exchange 2010 RTM/SP1 Use Exchange 2000 Outlook Web Access Alexei

You are trying to use an Outlook client that is 10 years newer than the Exchange version. It is not supported. You can check out the following Supportability Matrix. This will show what products are currently supported and with what version of Exchange (look at Clients section). Note that Exchange 2000 doesn't even make the list because it has reached end of life and is no longer supported. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff728623.aspxTim Harrington - Catapult Systems - http://HowDoUC.blogspot.com

Tim, the matrix does still show Exchange 2000 SP3 (under the Clients section). I guess this is still under extended support? Alexei

Yes you are correct...guess I didn't scroll over far enough :) But still doesn't line up with Outlook 2010. Good catch AlexiTim Harrington - Catapult Systems - http://HowDoUC.blogspot.com

Hi, had the same problem here. However... since I just use Exchange 2000 to send and receive mails, I've developed a simple Python script that changes some responses from server to client, and it's working. let me know if you still need it (polido at gmail dot com)
