Hello, I am having MAPI issues with exchange and have come to find that it has outlook installed on it.I have searched the Internet to see if it's safe to remove it; but there aren't to many articles saying it will be fine to uninstall and there will be no problems.Has anyone in herehad to remove outlook from an exchange box? Or, doesanyone know of any potential issues in doing so.Even though we will be snap-shottingfirst, thought I would ask.Thanks

Never heard any body complaning about outlook removal from exchange. So i think , it should be OK.http://www.computing.net/answers/windows-2003/outlook-on-exchange-server/8108.htmlRaj

It is better not to keep outlook on exchage box due to mapi conflict. in case if you want to remove it then you need to follow belo things Please uninstall Outlook from Add/Remove as they share MAPI32.dll.
