Microsoft Outloook Thick Client for Exchange 5.5/2000/2003 allows users to display Microsoft Exchange data in an iView in SAP Enterprise Portal.
The Outlook Thick Client iView connects to the Exchange server using the Outlook installation on the desktop of the user and displays the user's e-mail. calendar, and task data. This allows users to view and reply to e-mails.
This iView uses only HTML and JavaScript.
The Active-X control has been installed and configured appropriately . For more information, see Installing and Configuring the Active-X Control .
The ActiveX control precludes the need for users to log on to the Exchange server in order to view Outlook information. However, as this method uses the Outlook installation on the user's desktop for authentication and to retrieve information from the Exchange server, it only works on desktops where the user's Outlook profile is active.
