Summary

When planning the deployment of Outlook clients, organizations can leverage different options depending on the type of client and the specific client needs identified during the discovery. If you use manual installation or Windows Server 2003 Group Policy and Systems Management Server, extensive planning and testing of Outlook client Transforms and Outlook profiles should be performed prior to deploying clients to the production environment.

Regardless of the deployment method, configuration settings and procedures should be documented and deployments of the Outlook client staged for manageability.
