    Is it OK to use Outlook Express on WHS?  I see that it's in the Program Files.

    You should be able to run any application that comes with (or works with) Windows Server 2003. But we haven't done any testing specifically for this. There is no reason why it shouldn't work, and it would be of great help if you can let us know of any issues that you might find.

    Isn't this (running applications that require interactive access to the WHS console) kind of contrary to the entire purpose of WHS? Seems to me that WHS is supposed to be running headless in a closet somewhere and that interactive console access is actively discouraged. Why else throw up the warning web page when logging on interactively to the WHS box? I can understand wanting test coverage on non-interactive applications but why something like this?

    WHS is supposed to be run as headless and that is the recommended way. But, as my post said, there is no reason (that we know of) why applications like Outlook Express will not work there.
