SBS2000 Sp1a and Outlook 2002

Hi All

I'm running sbs2000 with 10 clients. Some of the clients run Outlook 2000
and others run Outlook 2003 (we don't have enough liceneses for Outlook
2003).
There is a known issue with Outlook 2000 where it hangs at shutdown, if you
had opened a mailbox that was previously used with Outlook 2003. Strange
behaviour but there doesn't seem to be an available fix from MS other than
upgrading Outlook to a newer version.

I have read that the SBS2000 SP1a includes the upgrade for Outlook 2002 if
you order the CD kit.
I would like to ask you if this information is correct and if we are legally
entitled to upgrade Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2002 using SP1a.
If so, do you know how can I order the CD kit for SP1a?

Thank you very much for your time
Pedro Ramilo

You can no longer order SP1a for SBS 2000 as it it out of mainstream support

You're only option would be to upgrade to SBS 2003 where you would get OL
2003 for everyone

See the Version upgrade (from SBS 2000 --> SBS 2003 Premium) plus the VUP
CALs for the SBS 2000 CALs you now own.

Thank you for your replyes.

Upgrading is not an option at this point since we have just invested $10.000
on new server hardware+win server2003+sql server2005 std to run the
company's software.

So I guess we will be sticking with OL2000 for one more year at least...
