Note: Ontrack PowerControls is designed to run on a Windows workstation and uses native Microsoft Messaging APIs (MAPI) to communicate to the Exchange Server, ensuring reliable and consistent operation of your server, and requires Outlook to be installed and configured with Exchange Server beforehand for MAPI to initialise properly. While Ontrack PowerControls is designed to run from a Windows workstation, Exchange Server 2007 installation configuration is supported. If running Ontrack PowerControls on Exchange Server 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007 must be installed and configured on the Exchange Server. Ontrack PowerControls does not support other Exchange Server installation configurations.
Ontrack PowerControls 4.2 has the ability to install and run Outlook directly on Exchange Server 2007. While Ontrack PowerControls 4.2 is designed to run from a Windows workstation, Exchange Server 2007 installation configuration is supported. Ontrack PowerControls 4.2 does not support other Exchange Server installation configurations.
